im getting sportline springs. i just like the drop, ive drove on them, and ive seen plenty of pix and i just like they way it makes the car look and drive.

the question at hand is what else do i need to do with sportlines? i know at certain drop rates camber kits and things of that nature are a must. but besides a good alignment, is there anything else i have to get with these springs? or if i dont HAVE to, highly recommended. i dont wanna start chewin threw tires.

 

You won't need a camber kit with sportlines. Your camber will be a little bit more negative than stock, but not so much that you will wear out tires. As you said, the most important thing is getting an alignment after you install the springs and make sure they set your toe to spec. Toe settings are the frequent cause of eating tires, and lots of people falsely blame the wear on camber.

You don't really need anything else, if you are using stock shocks, you may want to upgrade after awhile to something better and adjustable - KYB AGX, Koni Reds, Koni Red RSK, or Koni Yellows.

 

Might want to look into shocks too, the stock ones will most likely blow sooner or later.

 

i want/need the drop. and im getting kyb agx as soon as i get the money. my buddy has some on his civic, nice ride! so i will try them on my car.

 

YOU SHOULD GET H&R SPORT SPRINGS MUCH NICER I HAVE SPORTLINES ON MY CIVIC AND H&R ON MY TEG

 

nice drop you say?? my sportlines on my gsr makes my front higher than the back, its ugly but the ride is great with tokico illuminas'

 

is it the same drop?

 

1.75 FRONT 1.5 REAR
SPORTLINES ARE JUST A WASTE OF MONEY NOT WORTH IT IF U GET THEM YOU ARE BETTER OFF LEAVING YOUR STOCK ONES ON THERE

 

The H&R sports will be slightly lower than the Sportlines all the way around, and yes, the Sportlines will be slightly higher in the front than in the back. Sportlines get better ratings in terms of handling and softness than the H&R Sport usually, but it's debatable. I know Patrick94GSR had H&R sports on his integra and he felt they were too low and soft, so he upgraded to GCs.

If you want Sportlines because you like how they feel and the height, I would suggest getting Koni Yellows or Koni RSK shocks with the 3 (Integra yellows) or 5 (Neuspeed Koni sp3) circlip perches. Then you can put the rear on a slightly higher level (3rd slot), and the front a bit lower (2nd slot) if you want to get rid of the wheel well gap in the front.

 

I loved my H&R Sport...low, but why not. Dont use your stock shocks with sportlines or H&R. They will blow eventually, and you will be pissed.

 

i just like eibach. ive had them on several cars. im going for comfort and a drop. i can adjust the height differences. i can fabricate ****.

 

This is my setup:

KYB VR2 struts
Eibach Sportline Springs
Energy Suspension bushing kit

I love my Sprotline's. The car handles great. I don't have any camber kit and I have no problem with the camber.

some good side shots would be good. and just for reference, what size wheel/tire are on there in the pix?

 

changed my mind. im going with the H&R sports or race, i havent decided how much of a drop. but ive been reading up and the H&Rs seem better than the Eibachs. if anyone can prove me right or wrong, go for it

with the H&Rs, is there anything i should do with the drop? the race is a lower drop, so i dont know when it is necessary to get additional parts. i think i like the race springs because of the lower drop. does anybody have pix with stock wheels (or other 15"s) and race or sport springs?

yeah after more digging on HT i found and decided on the sport springs. the ratings on the race springs, i just dont dig for my daily driver. if i was hardcore racing .... sure, but im not. and most have said that the drop ends up being like 2" anyway. and thats about where i wanna be.

 

I have H&R Sports on stock shocks, and an Ingall's camber kit. I like it so far. It rides like stock - just lower.

best price on the springs and camber kit? and where from?

 

Make sure to rotate your tires w/ every oil change to keep the wear even.

most people pass up that general maintenance. good point. i work at a quick lube place and tend to do the rotation as often as possible.

best way to rotate stock 15"s on a dc2? (what pattern?) i just do front to back, back to front. just let me know if that is wrong or there is something better.

 

Just like what everybody else say....you need the shocks to handle the higher spring rate. Also i do recommend gettin the adjustable ones at lease you can adjust it to what you like.

 

shocks or sway bar
