is there any springs out there that lower the car only 1.0 inch and has a more aggressive spring rate then stock itr springs? maybe 300 front and rear. i was recomended rsr but think they lower too much. any advice? thanks in advance

 

this will just be for daily driving fun. and will also be paired with koni sport adjustables.

 

let me guess, your asking about springs for this car?:

Well forget it, It looks nice and all but you walked in the worng forum for tech questions on that car. try looking here for that model. https://honda-tech.com/zeroforum?id=3

Now If I'm way off and you own an ITR then call me silly and forget everything I said.

 

your silly haha. im looking for springs for an itr. ive searched and am told to try espelir kg/mm or eibach. but dont understand there measuements. just want a 1.0 inch drop or close to that and a stiffer spring rate. about 300 front and 300 rear

 

Do you know if you want progressive or linear or a combination?

How and why did you come to your specific requirements for rates and lowering?

Doesn't look like the RSR's will fit your bill either though:

Integra 94-01
1.4F 0.8R 242F 173R


Eibach Prokits:

Eibach Pro kit:
Rate: F&R- 10-15% higher than stock
Drop: F&R- 1.3"
Progressive

Or H&R Sport or OE sports might be your answer:

H&R Sport spring:
Rate: Front- 276 Rear-276
Drop: Front- 1.75" Rear- 1.5
Front - Linear Rear- progressive


H&R OE Sport springs:
Rate: Front & Rear- 15-20% higher than stock
Drop: Front- .75 Rear- .75

 

thanks 1greyteg. eibach prokits look good to me. not sure what linear and progressive means. just wanted something that was stiffer with better handling characteristics that didnt give a drastic drop.

 

my H&R sport springs are nice, they only dropped about an inch maybe a little more

 

are they stiffer than eibachs? do you have any pictures?

Linear=one spring rate
Progressive=2 (or more) spring rates.

 

thanx a lot guys this helped me a lot. leaning towards the h&r oe

 

is there advantages to either having a linear setup as opposed to having a progressive setup?

I can`t answer that since you are leaning towards H&R`s

lol

 

if your gonna do springs and buy koni's, why not just buy omnipower coilovers, i head nothing but great stuff about them, and you can set the height to exactly how high you want

springs+koni's prob $600-$700 bucks

ominpower coilovers are $650 and you can get F 10k & R 8k or F 12k & R 10k
the first one 10k/8k whould be good for what your looking for

For a 1" drop get Eibach Pro-Kit springs, they drop the ITR 1" or 25mm front and rear, are slightly stiffer than OE springs and you still maintain some degree of somfort with improved handling.

 

not to interested in coilovers i.e making sure each corner is balanced, uneven drop on each side, stuff that i dont wanna really deal with. thanks for the suggestion

 

H&R sports

 

on my daily i put rs*r downsprings.

1.4 in front .8 in the back

still pretty stiff.

 

if you don't get the h&r's, get the comptech springs imo.

 

read that the comptech springs would actually decrease performance. anyone have the spoon progressive springs?&gt; good or just brand name? pictures anyone?thanx for the replies everyone

iirc the Comptech's are rebadged Eibachs to their specs.

 

if u want ur itr shocks to last more than 3 months, DO NOT get spoon progressives. they will wittle and eat ur stock shocks away until there is nothing left.

Reread the post above. He mentioned getting Koni Yellows.

And as far as I can remember GK had that exact setup. But unfortunately there was an issue with him getting the correct ITR rear shocks. Might wanna ask him about that Exact setup and pick his brain and find out why he didn't persue it and went another direction entirely.

 

yea i was planning on koni yellows.
