hi,
does anyone have a pic of 00 sir rims with tein s tech springs or neuspeed race?
i'm looking for a set of springs that will close the gap without tucking in. i'm afraid neuspeed race will be tucked in and too low. i 'd like something just barely close the gap. anyone knows any brand or if tein s tech will do this job?
thanks

 

I don't think neuspeed race or H&r race springs tuck at all with 15's. Tein S-tech's will leave a gap though.

 

can you find any pics of the race on 15 inch civic?
how much gap you think is on the s tech? the website says 1.9" drop front. but i really have no idea what's the stock height as when i bought my car, it was already lowered and i have no idea what brand/height is that.
thx

edit:
here's the height i'd love to have.

h&r's will over time

 

I have the tein s-techs on my 99 civic with si 15" rims on it and 195/50 tires. 2 finger gap at the front and 3 finger gap at the rear.

 

oh wow.. 2 fingers gap? that sounds pretty big... do you have by any chance pic of it? i'd like to see if you do.
thanks

 

My fingers are slim so 2 fingers = 1 inch and 3 fingers = 1.5in

 

get rs*r downsprings. i use them for my daily driver - like 1 finger gap in rear, and perfect gap in front. but im using the dc2 spec ones so i really wouldnt know for the eg

a little pricy, but worth it.

 

Neuspeed race. Even though you seem to be more worried about your drop then the performance of the spring I'll say that they are a great spring for the street and acceptable for the ocassional autox/trackday. I also hope that you are prepared to get some decent shock for the neuspeeds, they have some pretty high rates for a progressive spring. I'm using kyb agx's and have had no problems.

 

yea..that height is pretty good.
i assume they're 15"?
but i've been hearing that the race is pretty bouncy eventhough used with konis.

 

When I first put them on with my agx's they were pretty bouncy but after a few weeks they rode great and have ever since, (about a year now). I guess the shock valving had to break in a little. And yes they are 15's.

 

yea damn..this height looks good. just wondering how much different in appearence with the s tech though.
cause i was planning to get agx+ s tech.

 

Ive experienced s-techs on a few cars. I'll be honest they have a pretty large gap and they were pretty soft. If I were you I would look into the neuspeeds and not buy into all of the tein hype.

 

well the s-tech's are pretty much just for looks. so you can call it hype if you want. but they do make good ****.

 

S-Techs will ride on stock struts and not blow them, but yeah they are real soft and are not for performance.

eh, some of the tein stuff is decent but there are a lot of better options that will cost you less and perform better.
