Which one is better springs for my AGXs? My car is Civic EG and daily driven with occasion sprited driving. Both springs are about the same lowering at 1.7~1.8 f and r. Teins are $145 shipped and H&Rs are $170 shipped from ebay stores. Which ones are better for me? I need your experienced opinion.
Thanks guys.

H&R have stiffer rates but not terribly so over the stechs. I would go with the H&R springs over the tein personally. Also theyre cheaper at http://www.allsprings.com $149.50 shipped for 92-95 civic. They will match pretty well with AGX

I already checked allsprings.com and they charge $39.39 for shipping. So they are not cheaper. The best price so far is $170 shipped.

I have heard the bump stop has to be cut by in half.

seems like the bumpstops in the fronts are way longer than the rear? should i just cut the front and leave the back alone?

Never use less than 1" of bump-stop. More is better though, so if your not too low, don't go overboard...

i just installed some S techs on someones CRX HF. honestly, those springs didnt look any stiffer than stock. in fact they had smaller diameter spring coil. i certainly dont know the modulus of rigidity between the two materials, and yes the S techs had 1 less coil for lowering than stock, but they really seemed like they were just made to match stock rates.

i wasnt impressed. shrug. (and yes, they were the authentic teins, not the sticker labelled fake ones)

id go with eibach prokits.
