Ok ive got a 02 Rsx type s, and im woundering what lowering springs i should buy Skunk2 or Tein or what idk im jus now starting to look around! and im just curious to see which is best or is there better?

 

im planning on tein for my base rsx. ive heard good reviews on them over at clubrsx.

 

depends how low u want to go..but if ur looking for something not to low or not too high go with tein s-tech many rsx owners like it but the best thing to do is coilover straight from the start that way you can adjust the height you like..

ok i was jus thinking like maybe 1inch 2inchs something resonable. im jus makin mine a sleeper type deal i love my stock wheels on it and i figure it will look better once its lowered. ive been lookin at the s-tech springs and there a lil bit more than the skunk2 but ive always had a feeling tho that tein is better because ive read more about them than skunk2 but im wanting a meaner look and a little be better handling

 

s-techs lower your car about an inch and a half so thats your best bet and they are the most used springs on the rsx there is a poll on the on http://www.clubrsx.com check it out

 

if i go with s-tech do i need to get a camber kit or is 1 1/2 inches safe with out?

 

i got tein s adn have no problems and im running with no chamber kit either

 

the s-tech's are great if you want a slight drop with a comfortable ride.

 

Search! I know we have covered this topic at least 3-4 times in the past couple of months.

I don't feel like retyping it every time the subject comes up.

 

Tanabe GF springs Linear rate. Are the Teins linear or progressive rate?

 

well i did search around and i came up with nothing so i was like ok screw it im gonna do a post. but thanks for all your help i think im gonna go with the Tein S-tech springs

 

what about eibach sportlines? they are comparable to the s-tech in the drop amount, i dunno about comfort

 

Eibachs are relatively soft and they are progessive rate...good for ride quality, not so good for handling...

 

thanks for all the addvice. but right now im gonna have to wait a couple more days i had a four wheeler wreck last night and i dont remeber much im having troubles remebering stuff from thursday and some of friday but ill eventually get them lol but i guess im going to go for the tein s-tech springs. but thanks everyone for your help!

 

Tein > Skunk2


Skunk2 - Bouncey as fawk. I had them on my Ej8 and it sucked! The drop was awesome but the ride sucked.

I hear excellent things about Tein, but thats just a given, coming from that company

 

Ok now that ive figured on which lowering springs where should i order them from does anyone have a preference? or is anybody selling some tein s tech springs for a 02 rsx type s? im lookin at this one website http://www.prostreetonline.com...aub00/ and they seem to have good prices for brand new s tech springs.

EBAY! Same springs for the same car going for $159 shipped. That's a great deal.

lowers the car 1.7" in the front and 1.4" in the rear

 

Eibach Prokit if you want your shocks to last. I had Tein S-Techs for a while before switching to coilovers..The ride got very bouncy.

really, about how long after the install did the ride become more bouncy?

 

i would get eibach sportlines...but IMHO i would save up for Coilovers...i'm doing that..i want to do it right and get coilovers
