Default Neuspeed Bilsteins installed

I just installed the Full coilover from Neuspeed bilstein. The suspension setup rides hella smooth. Its a little stiffer than my old setup(skunk2 coilovers,tokico blues) the rides like a lexus on Tokico illuminas on level 5?(i dont know) Suspension is kinda sketchy though at highspeed turns.

I got that on my 92 Si too and it's very smooth on the highway. Still though it's a little too stiff for me although it's not that stiff.

I'd give it a 6.5/10 rating, not too bad.

One problem I have is the front is not low enough on the lowest setting and the rear is too low on the highest setting that I can do with the car being jacked up and not having a tool to compress the spring. That kind of sucks.

haha yeah i have the same problem but a little exaggerated do to the 2 Kicker L7's i have in the trunk. I was thinking of getting custom eiback springs that will add an adittion 1.5 inch drop in the front and add about a .75 inch drop in the back that way i can slam the crap outta the car but keep the preload. I want the suspension to be stiffer

yeah i want the front to be lower but the back I want it to be just a hair higher. I don't know why they design it that way, maybe it's the euro thing cause you see all these european car dropped with the back lower. Like all these BMW's and Audis here. Haven't rode in these coilovers forever now since I gave the car to my lil bro but I still like them. I just don't love them but I got it for 699 so it's not too bad.

yup exactly what you just said. It's hard for me to compare because the EG hatch I got had rotted bushings from the MN winters. I'm looking to put these in a new EK hatch and see how they do or on a TEG.
