Hey guys, just got this car about 3 months ago. Its a 2014 lx sedan
Ive put in some spec d tuning headlights with 8k hid. Have all internal led lights. Pair of 18 inch rims that my buddy gave me for a hell of a deal.
15% tint all the way around about to do the visor.
I need help on springs and tire size for my rims so i can drop an inch or inch and a half.

Welcome to the site! For a 1 in drop, Eibach Prokit is your best choice. H&R springs are also very good and give you around a 1.4" drop. What wheels did you get? And what offset? Wheel offset and drop from springs are usually the more critical aspects in choosing tire sizes.

Hey, welcome to the forum. Wheels and headlights is a pretty good start for only having the car 3 months!

Dar has some good suggestions for you. I bet a 225/40/18 tire would work well for you though. It will be pretty close to the stock size so your speedometer and mileage will be accurate. Also, that size should cover every wheel width from 7" to just barely 9".

Welcome to the jungle. Is your Civic auto or manual? Do you have any other plans other than springs?

You can definitely run those tires with a 1.5" drop and have no issues. I believe the Eibach Sportlines give about 1.5" of a drop.
