Default Neuspeed Race Vs. Eibach Sportlines on 95 civic

Well I want a 2.25 drop in back and 2.0 drop in front on my 95 EJ, these springs are around the same price, what spring do you recommend for a better ride. I am asking people who have had experiance with one or both, thank you again.

I have the sportlines and I think the drop is 1.8", they ride very good and will only change them when I switch to adjustable coilovers.

That is the range of the drop for ALL the kits they sell. So you could get a 1.7" drop on a geo metro, while the dude across the street gets a 2.3" drop on his mustang. http://eibach.com/cgi-bin/html...25674 Its actually a 1.6" drop for the Eg, however I got a 1.8" drop on my 96 coupe. Looks clean as hell and rides smooth as **** but stiff when I need it.

Eibach Sportlines will drop the rear not the front...the car will still look like a monster truck.

Get some ground control coilovers and raise them until you are satisfied with the drop.

Neuspeeds are ok but a little too bouncy in my opinion. I drove in my friends hatch that had the sportlines. Overall his car felt much stiffer and handling was awesome. I'd go with the sportlines

It all depends on what you are looking. I personally would go with the Neuspeed springs as they are far lower in cost than the Eibach and will provide more of a drop that I would like (my opinion). Let me know if you have any questions as we can provide you with info and/or pricing on neuspeed, tein, eibach, and Omni.

i have to agree with him here,shell out the few extra bucks and get the coilovers, they come with eibach springs so you will still get the same ride (depending on ur shocks and drop) to ground control

For a better ride? The Sportlines. Rates are softer and they are progressive, vs. the Neuspeed Race springs which are stiffer and apparently linear. Keep in mind that the Sportlines won't drop you as low as you want, though. They also won't eliminate as much body roll as the Neuspeed Race springs would.

"Bounciness" is a problem with damping, not with the spring.

It's amusing that you'd say that, considering Neuspeed Race springs have higher rates than Eibach Sportlines

Not even close. Please don't ever say anything like that again.

ground control coilovers come with eibach springs... and if yu drop it toolow your ride willsuffer because the shock wont be able to take the drop and you'll hit the bump stop or blow the shock, so i dont know what your saying.

No universal kits with mystery springs. All Ground Control kits use Eibach springs giving Ground Control best selection of applications in their class. Ground Control works very hard with Eibach USA to make these springs to the standards that you demand. Lifetime guarantee on everything, not just springs.

from ground control website...
