looking for springs to lower my car about an inch any suggestions...please help quickly....i already have tokico blues for my shocks and struts

 

There are several that will give you around that amount of drop. Eibach prokits(1.4f,1.0r), Neuspeed SofSport(.75f,.75r), H&R OE's(.75f,.75r), H&R Sports(1.5-1.8 depending on application. Just look around on the web for stuff. Hope this helps.

 

Sounds like the H&R OE's would be good for you

Good Luck,
Jon

 

agreed with "sport" type drops at the lowest, considering only because you have the tokico blues. anything lower will ruin your ride by making it bouncy and uncomfortable...

 

Wow, someone else also voted for the kg/mm's. I didn't think anybody would b/c they're so rare in the States.

I'm trying to decide b/w the kg/mm DR Race and Spoon Progressives (does anybody have the progressive rate?).

Here are the specs and other ones too:

I need revisions on the Neuspeed and H&R springs b/c nobody can give me a straight answer on the spring rates...I e-mail one guy and he says 260F/240R, then I turn around and it's 280F/280R with progressive/progressive and linear/progressive combo's left and right. I don't really care much b/c I know I'll never buy them, but others might.

 

I would say used ITR springs or spoon springs. rates for these springs...


98 spec
4.4F / 2.5~4.4R [245.96lb/in F / 139.75~245.96lb/in R]

The Sp00ms are indeed 6.5F / 5.5R [ 363.35lb/in / 307.45lb/in R]

 

I would definately go with ITR springs if you just want a small drop but good handling!

 

is there a site u can give me to look up these springs
and u think that htese are better then the h&r ones

 

No, I wouold just ask if anyone has them on their car. I did a post like that and I got a few different cars.

 

H & R springs are very good.

 

 

if you only want about an inch drop, get the OE's. thats what I got. I think more than 1.5" you will need a camber kit also. I dunno how much more that would be.
only thing though people will tell you to drop it eventhough its already sitting an inch lower.

Ron -- who gets that comment a lot

 

I have the KG/MM dual rates and I love them. It dropped the car perfectly and handles great. Much better than the eibachs and neuspeeds that I have previously owned.

yo man... get coilover. only cost around $100 more. its way worth it. TRUST ME. ive had 2 cars already and u can beat the advantage of coilovers.

 

Can I ask you where you ordered them from? I've called a couple of places and nobody wants to order them b/c they could take a long time to get a price quote and/or arrive State-side after ordering, and the price uncertainty.

Any pics?

With what shocks did you pair them with?

How much did it lower?

 

you could try here...

Hm...cool. Thanks.

The DR21 SS's did seem to lower an ITR a lot lower than I thought. I was just skeptical about they're listed lowering rates b/c the Spoons are like that too...where 20mm becomes like 40mm..

 

IN VTEC- thanks for the spring rate chart! never seen that one before.

 

if you go with coilovers, the skunk2 and ground control are great systems.... the ground control is usually a softer ride. not worth the money if you just want to lower it an inch or so though. the eibach pro-kit would definatly suit you perfectly, or the H&R's.

 

I have sportlines, a little lower than what you are looking for, but I would definately recommend eibach. Great quality.

 

Sportlines huh, what kind of shocks do you have? how does it ride?

 

cant you custom order spring rates from ground-control?
and besides...i'd rather have the springs soft when u adjust it high for long trips,
and if you wanna lower it THAT low, get adjustable SHOCKS.
just my opinion.

 

I just installed the Eibach Prokit about a month ago and I love them. It was about a 1.3" drop all around. Just enough to take away most of the wheel gap. Very smooth ride even with stock shocks. Highly recommend the Prokit

 

im pretty sure that the eibach prokit drop is even f/r at 1.3 or 1.25 in.

 

love my h&r sports!
