I sold my raced out eg turbo hatch not long ago... and know I own a 99 si. I noticed that the ride height on these things are pretty high stock. I do enjoy the stock ride but are there any springs out there that will give a me a bit of drop and still be safe on Stock struts... i am not to much of a suspensionn guy. Please help me out. thanks

 

ive got a set of eibach's and it still rides pretty good and sits really good on my 17's
peace

How safe are the stock struts with those though.... I am trying to get just a slightly lower stance... I like the S-techs but I am not sure if you can use stock struts or not.

 

Get some ground control coilovers then u can lower it how ever much u like.. And i hear they have a pretty nice ride too

Riding lowering springs on stock shocks isn't a safety issue. I know many people that have done it fine, it just wears out the shocks quicker. You might have to replace them earlier, so if you can its best to save up for the proper shocks.

 

do it right the first time .. because sooner or later your stock shocks are gonna blow ..


**i believe suspension isnt something to do half *****

 

i ran s-tech's for a year on stock shocks and dint blow em, so it all depends on how u drive on em. rides pretty damn close to stock.

 

gc coils/ koni single adjustables/ gc top hats...great set-up

 

i had eibachs on my civic coupe and prokits felt like stock.

 

Thanks for all the great info

 

I have neuspeed sports on for more then 3 years with stock shocks. I autoxed them and the shocks are still fine.
