Coilover dilemma:)

So I'm curious as to what coilovers will help me improve my mileage, since I believe I need to replace mine anyways... I don't want to spend a ton! I have a 1994 honda civic ex 2 dr coupe. Just for the record..

Coilovers aren't going to affect your gas mileage

Buy what you want, they're all going to be springy.

Replace the struts at the same time.

If you're interested only in lowering your car, I've got a set of springs that will lower your car 2.5"just laying around. You can also get a cheap set of springs on eBay.

Ya, I meant for lowering my car for less wind resistance below.. How much are you asking for those?

$150 + shipping. They're Espelir brand, the specific part number is no longer available.

They're blue, but they're used lightly, so the color isn't perfect. They were on my car for about 500 miles.

Just the springs? I may just pick some up from eBay.. They are cheap, don't know how long they will last though..
