depends how low you go.

 

No more than 2 inch. Maybe 1.75 in the front and 1.5 in the rear.

 

?

 

neuspeed race is all i can tell you. and if you dont want to do all the bullshit compressing get some new shocks too. will make the install much faster.

You shouldn't need a camber kit for a tame drop like that. There's many brands you can choose from, H&R, Eibach, Neuspeed, Kazera, Sprint, Skunk2, Tein, etc. etc.

I don't recall ever hearing about springs being crappy or not doing their job correctly, so you can basically take your pick for the drop you want at the price you want. Although some will say the ride will be better/firmer with some. Eibach and H&R are pretty popular and taken well by HT.

 

Don't go cheap and do your homework before you buy anything.

Thanks .. So if it's like 3inch drop then i would need a camer kit. Is this true. I have no intension of lowering my car that much. Just enough to make it look nice. And i need a alighment after lower. RIght?. Can i install myself if not how much money does it cost to put them on?

I got some KYB AGX and NEUSPEED springs for 440 total with shipping. The drop is 1.7 back and 1.5 front i think. It is something you can do yourself, provided you know what you are doing. There are plenty of tutorials floating on HT, i just dont have a link. If you do get it installed, it'd be another 300-400 bucks depending on how much the hourly rates are. Yes, you do need an alignment after you lower it.

Thanks man i rarely get replies So thanks Again. My Friend is a mehnaic and he said that total i mean 350(coilovers)+Installation(alignment)=550$ total. i buy the coilovers he installs them and gives a alignment all for 200$. Plus he said he would talk to this guy who can get me same coilovers for cheaper price. So if he finds some good brand cheap ones then i will buy it from him. Does 550$ for a coilover sound good to you.

 

the arguments as to whether you need a camber kit at all on a honda is still not resolved, there are people swearing by examples of each case. search around in the suspension forum im sure you will find them
im of the opinion that with a proper alignment you can drop 3+ inches without the aid of a camber kit.

so with the drop you are considering, an alignment will be more than sufficient. installing the springs is pretty easy, there is a stickies at the top of the suspension forum for a koni shock install that if you perform pieces of acts as a spring install guide... just dont take the shocks off.

i know, most replies are useless. Im glad i helped.
I would rather get lowering springs rather than coilovers. If you adjust coilovers for a different height setting, you will have to realign the car, so in my eyes not worth it. Just get lowerings springs that will give you better cornering from the camber, do that and you will be happy. Plus it will be easy on the wallet.

 

Don't let some dude install them for you dude. It's just a few bolts and you're done on each corner. Have all the stuff you need beforehand and there'll be no probs.
