I just said H&R..but it depends how long you want. If you want it slammed, go w/ race, but for nice daily driving, go with Sport.

EDIT: low, not long

Got the kyb agx's with neuspeed sports... i like the stance... not too high and not too low...

 

Daily driven?
Drives lots of miles?
Low budget?
Looking for comfort with a stylish drop?
Don't push car very hard or often?
Planning on using stock shocks and upgrading later?

If you answered yes to most of those. Tein S-Techs will probably be your best bet.

I really liked the set I had.

 

Teins are good

 

b ump

are the springs u got pretty stiff or soft

 

softer than my neuspeed race springs, but prolly stiffer than stock suspension...

 

someone suggested this setup to me...
what yall think about this...

i think its good but just wonderin what more experienced people think bout it..

Tokico adjustable shocks and H&R race springs...cost would be about 400 dollars just to buy...dont know how much install will be...

Do the install urself. Find a friend and spend the day tinkering with ur car. Best way to get to know ur car...

spent 50 bucks to rent a spring compressor then when you return it you get 45 bucks back.

 

good idea...im just scared to do it myself cus i mite **** my car up n end up spending more money to fix whatever i did...i dont know **** bout it...maybe ill get someone install it n just watch them so next time i can do myself

What do exhausts have to do with a lowering spring poll?

how long can you go on stock shocks if you were to upgrade to lets say, h&r springs? i plan on buying shocks but i dont have the money to do both at the same time. install myself. sorry to steal the thread

Too many variables to give you an accurate answer. sorry.

The best thing to do is to just buy the springs and then save for shocks. Then once you have both in hand install them. It would be less hassle than installing springs only to remove them a few weekends later just to replace the shocks.

my brother has been runnin stock shocks on his prelude with eibach sportlines for about a year now...i guess u could just keep using them til u got the money..the ride just wont be too comfortable at times

 

With all the GC/Koni recs how come GC is not on the list? (Not being a smart ***, I am sincerly wondering if there is a reason, is GC not a lowering spring? Something else?)

 

i think it was on the list before, but i dont see it anymore

dont know ...didnt think of it i guess

 

I thought Eibach would be more popular but looks like H&R. Anyone care to comment on why they like H&R over Eibach? I will most likely be in the market for suspension performance parts for my EK in the near future.
Thanks!

 

lol, who needs a ring compressor
