Default Trying to find springs that lower the most... searched but found...

... that the Neuspeed race springs are the only ones that claim to lower the front & rear 2.0" ...

other manufacturers like H&R and Comptech, Tein, Eibach lower no more than 1.5 or 1.7 at the most...

Imo, the Si looks atrocious when it's dropped Looooow... any help is appreciated!

Tein Type Flex is adjustable and the max is 2.87" in the front and 2.32" in the rear. It shows them on their site but i haven't seen them anywhere. Here's one of the pics.



And here's the different kits http://www.tein.com/ti/b14.html

I had Neuspeed racing springs for about 2 years and hated them. My civic was dropped way too low. I later switched out to H&R (sport instead) and the ride was much smoother.

How much do you want to slam your car??? How much negative camber do you really want? Have you seen what cars look like that are just lowered about an inch? I have the comptechs which are 1.0F and 1.2R and the car sits perfectly over my tire. Not sure exactly what your going for, but IMO 2 or more inches is way to much for this car.

Nope...I crashed it a little over a year ago now. Bought a bike but got bored of it, and wanted a new car. So I picked up the new Si.

I think its a great car. Definately great bang for your buck. 11:1 c/r..LSD..17" rims..350watt stereo..interior is awesome. Car handles great and runs high 14s stock. Obviously its nothing like the 2nd gen, but its decently quick with a few bolt ons and very reliable.


Here is my car, it is lowered on comptech springs. 1.0F & 1.2R...it is a progressive style spring. What do you think of the drop? I personally like how it sits right over the tire. But maybe thats not what your looking for.

Thank you SDGIRL... you'll probably just wanna go with some coilovers then. I think its a perfect ride height, and it still rides like stock too. I love it.

Remember you lower too much you maybe have to change out your stock shocks.

i wanna get the Tein Flex's

but currently i have the Tein Super Street's . This is all the way down. Oh yea camber is horrible only on the rear. Front camber is actually acceptable, as I thought it was a tad positive stock. but again rear needs the camber kit. shock stroke is like 2 inches at most, and loves to bottom out on lowest height.
