does the noise come from the hatch area? if so, put some electrical tape around the hatch latch. that should fix it up

that noise was probably from the springs bottoming out, i hated that crap. get rod of those things quick before they ruin your suspension parts.



the sportlines are sweet very smooth and i have about a 1.5 inch gap from the top of the tire to the fender.it doesnt look all ghetto slammed its a good drop.the kyb help a lot though. i never used them with the stock shocks. i went from coilovers with stock shocks to coilovers with kyb then to the eibachs witht the kybs agx and thats how im keepin it. and for wheels their stock with fat tires. 205 in front and 215/55/15 (accord). on my hatch i got 205/55/14 all around.

I have did more research than you can shake a stick at, and I am 99% decided on H&R Sports with KYB AGX based on cost, performance, lowering height, and ride quality. Ride quality was a big part since I drive so much and I didn't want it slammed to the ground either. Anything too expensive was ruled out(Tokico, Koni, Good coilovers) and anything cheap would just give me a shitty ride(most coilovers and cheap springs/shocks). I think these are about in the middle. I have a 5g civic and I will be running civic hx wheels with 60 series tires.

The only thing I am worried about is how well the KYB AGX shocks will hold up since there not supposed to be on cars lower than 1.5 inches. The H&R's will lower my car 1.8 in front and 1.6 in back. Anybody here running a similar setup?

I cant tell where its coming from...I am just gonna get some springs and maybe some shocks but I dont think its worth the money to get new shocks(my opinion).So I will just settle with springs for now and maybe down the road to ballin with some money I will invest in shocks.

im using H&R sport springs, with the 1.9inch drop, and i went with the kyb gr-2's for cost reasons. THey ride great, and the drop is not slammed, but much nicer than stock. I wish i could have afforded the ag-x's, nice features, but the gr-2's are plenty nice, and handle nicely.
