i have a friend who is riding a 4dr civic with cut springs, its low as shit and rides pretty damn well.and he had a civic before that with cut springs and it was the shittiest ride i've ever felt.and i've also had ebay coil sleeves.they are either going to ride super stiff or bounce you to mars.and as for my current car i recently purchased skunk2 lowering springs and they ride great and the stance is perfect.they are slightly bouncy at rr tracks but overall a great ride and they cost me less than $200.its your decision with what u ride on.you can play the cheap game and it be like a box of chocolates or you can spend a little cash and know what you're going to get.
