u can find v resonablly priced lowering sringds from bilal ganj with a 2inch drop,last time i checked for a friend's civic they were for 4k for all 4 n they were in pretty decent shape as well
but to keep in mind lowering ur car will make it hard n ull feel every bump on the road but yes the road grip will be better n same goes for the handling n also that when a car is nearer to the centre of gravity it accelerates faster

10k for lowerings isn't all that worthy to be honest, u shud be spending max 7-8k for the springs and bro ull further have to pay arnd 1000-1500rs for fitting and then allignment aswell. i know it is really a nice upgrade but u shud also consider the amount of money ull be spending, that much u can spend on ur car's little performance parts and keep it's suspension in stock condition.

Hi,

Dont cut the coils. You need to lower it a bit so you can have a nice look. The answers to your queries are as follows:

Handling experience: Handling will be better
Ride comfort: Ride will be bumpy
Which brand to go for: Go for Any good brand like neu speed lowering spring/ TIEN etc, otherwise shock absorber can be damaged
Price range: around 10K
and any other overall pros or cons...: suspension bushes will wear out quickly

people already using them..please do post your experience.
also posting current pics with current height.

You should lower your ride to give it a v nice look. I am using TIEN lowering springs with KONI Yellow shocks with CUSCO pillow ball mounts on them. It has adjustment of soft/hard on the fly. They are superb also the ride is superb but i spent hell amount of money on this.

For further queries, pl feel free to ask.

Rgds
Iftikhar
