Theres probly a million threads on how the Tenzo's are. But with my experience they have been great. Rides great, no harsh ride. The drop is noticable the minute the get installed, and yes after a while they will settle even lower. (i cant get my jack under the subframe rail of the car now) and installation is easy just like every other spring. And since I know its coming I didnt need a camber kit, others have said they did, but I didnt.

I love how people never give Tenzo a chance for the springs. Me and Biohazard are really the only ones that are on here that have used them and we both LOVE them. Yes h&r is a good company, but it all depends on how much you want to drop it. I love my Tenzo's

Make sure you get good struts to support the lowered height.

Even still, if there is no type of absorbing product available, I would think twice about lowering.

true

i was this same way but couldn't take the gap

I've been fine so far...no civic bouncing yet but I do want some struts ASAP. I don't like the soft feeling of the suspension

Damn that sucks.

It seems like you base model guys are really getting the short end of the stick lately...

I've been riding on SportLine Springs for the last couple months and I haven't noticed any problems as of yet. They lower me 2.0 in the front and 2.5 in the rear. Looks damn good too!
