ok guys.. ive been looking into springs for a while now.. and im stuck..
i want a nice low agressive look but i want to also be able to perform..
for a while i'll be riding on stock shocks... but once i get new ones.. i'll want the springs to perform well... i want a nice drop but not something to low as where ill be scraping all the time... and i want to avoid sagging springs to.. any1 have suggestions..

i found some espelir springs for 163$ are those anygood?

 

havent heard anything bout them, but there real popular in japan and alot of race cars(such as cars in JGTC) use em

 

you think 2 inch front and 1 inch rear drop would look ok? would it get rid of my wheel gap?

an1...

 

2 inch front would be good but id be looking for lower than 1 in the back...espelier, I havent heard bad things, so i'm pretty neutral on them.

 

so with 1 inch in the back... do you think that would get rid of my wheel gap?

 

Well i've got a 6th gen, and i lowered it 1.7" in the rear and there's STILL wheel gap so...

I currently run Neuspeed sport springs (Green) Progressive rate, blah blah, with 215/45/17 use to run 205/40/17. I think it does 1.75 front, 1.5 back. Had it with stock struts for a few months, rode fine to me, not Boucy at all. But if you have bad roads that will change. first tire setup left me with about 1 finger gap up front and 2 fingers out back. I didn't suffer the boat look ( Rear lower than front) and with my new Kyb AGX it rides great. The slightly larger profile tires I use now, brings me to about 1 finger barely up front, and 1 finger in Back. The 40 series just dont give enough for everyday driving, so I went up 1 to 45s.
As for Espelir, I haven't heard of people with them, but seen them for sale as well.
My advice is avoid that brand in particular and stick with a company with a better Reputation. Last thing you want on your car is Shitty springs. I see to many lowered cars not done right that bounce up and down, down the road. You'll hate it, and be laughed at. Most cheap coilovers suffer this the most.
I was happy with the Neuspeed setup, good amount of drop, Rode ok on stock.
doesn't scrape barely, Mines has the front Lip thats why.
So far no Sag either. Hope that helps.
Oh think about a camber kit as well. You'll probably need it. SPC balljoint camber kit up front worked 100% without those inferior upper A-arm block type. Doesn't rub or hit Fender well.

 

1 inch in the back and 2 in the front is a pretty extreme rake...for a honda. i saw a accord coupe (newer model) with a pretty fat rake and it didnt look so good.

 

i almost got espelir -i liked the spring rates, and S2k owners swear by them...however, the drop (at least 1.5 years ago when i was looking) was only like 1.3"...not enough for what i was loooking for

instead i went with Eibach Sportlines...and i love them

 

hmm i want sportlines... but its pricey... i might get them.. but are there any other spring out there thathave good quality and have a good price...?

 

theres always teins S techs.

 

If is going to be lowered.... your shocks will not perform as best as they can..... ....so you should consider shocks as well when getting lower springs....

 

yea thats all in time.... i need to get this done piece by piece...

 

How about H&R sports? Here is my car lowered on them.



Not sure of the actual drop (I think they claim 1.7 front 1.5 rear) But my car came out nice and even all around. I used KYB GR2 shocks when I was changing the springs. I was on a tight budget as well. GR2's are not the best but they are a big step above my half life stock shocks. I got the springs for 150 and the shocks were around 160. It rides excellent.

You really should do the shocks too while you have the car in pieces, it makes no sense to do it twice. Just save up a little more for the shocks. It won't be more than 150-200 extra for a decent set of shocks.

 

I really want some of these...

0.75" / 0.75" drop... not much at all, but perfect for me.

In kalamazoo, any lower and I'd be tearing my oem lip off daily.

if you want shitty springs, sure

 

i want good quality.. and i havent heard much good of the tein springs.. it used to be my favorite.. the only thing i would get tho are the coilovers..

so how much do h&r springs run? normally..

anybody got a link or have a nice compare and contrast of h&r race&lt;&gt;eibach sportline

 

I would go with H&R sports. They ride nicely and the progressive rate is very forgiving.

I don't want to toot my own horn, but I'm a MI guy, and I had these Jackson Race springs that dropped it 1.25" and I was more than fine even in the winter...and coincidentally, I'm selling them incredibly cheap.

 

Here's where I bought mine... prices have gone up some since I bought them. But they are great springs, handling is excellent and the drop is even. I am not 100% sure but I believe I heard that the eibach springs give the "boat" effect where the front sits higher than the back. Do some searches on this forum and others to see if you can see more pics of specific drops. That's how I decided on the H&R's. Very consistent good results.
