I bought a Tokico ILK kit (the illuminas and matched springs), and after installing it the handling was much improved. However, after about a week or so the car had still never settled to the proper ride height. The front looks as though it didn't drop at all and the back looks like I'm stashing a few dead bodies in my trunk. So I'm looking for replacement springs. Any recommendations? If so, please include the spring rate, progressive or constant rate, and drop. Any replies would be very helpful, thanks in advance. I'm looking for something with no more then a 1.5 inch drop due to the ******* speed bumps around here and because I'd like my shocks to last more then a couple months.

 

Eibach, H&R, Neuspeed.

Search for more info.

Not to be a dick but are you sure you dont have the springs in bassacwards

 

lol u might have a point

 

Nah, I'm really really sure, this isn't the first car I've done work like this on. Also, after I purchased them, I found out that this is a common problem with their 4th gen prelude kit.

 

too bad you found out AFTER you bought them :/ can u return them?

 

I found I had the same problem on my 93 Lude. The back dropped perfectly but the front did not drop to what the specs said. I ended up cutting two coils and it looks and rides great. Im ridin on neuspeed race springs by the way and I would def. recommend them.

 

i also have tokicos n im usin eibach pro springs n it rides perfectly. its not as low as the sportline springs but i wasnt lookin for a huge drop either so i think u would be in good shape with the pro springs...goodluck with wutever u do

 

hehe can always get the custom rates with ground controls

 

i got neuspeed race springs on bilstein shocks. pretty comfy ride and the drop looks amazing

 

i am riding on tokico ill and skunk2 lowering springs the drop is awsome if you don't have subs in the back waying down the car it should drop you about 2 but i have subs in the back and i droped 2 3/4 big ******* drop from stock but looks awsome

 

eibach=

or ground control coilovers if u want to be able to adjust the height of ur car.

 

Tein S-Tech
Reasonable price! Great performance! Good drop!

 

h&r race hands down.

yeeeeeep ...

 

i have neuspeed sports (green). 1.75f/1.5r drop. looks good, drives much better than stock, progressive springs that are easy on your back if you drive on shitty roads like i do. i have a slighty lower accord lip on my car and i don't scrape anywhere.

 

I'm gunna go with the Neuspeed sports. Thanks for all your help guys.

The reason for the rear looking so much lower then the front, is because you got the springs backwards. I did the same with skunk 2 springs because there was no markings to tell me i was wrong. So i took them off and installed it the opposite way, and they were fine.
But if you are looking for a nice ride, i jsut purchased Tanabe springs for 150$ (racerwheel.com) They have a 2-2 1/2" drop. I belive they are df210 springs. I have a friend that has these on his Crx, its a nice ride!

 

GC's &gt; all
