hi everybody I just wanted to know if it is possible to lower a car less than 1 inch. I got the eibach springs that lower 1.3 inches but it seems like it lowered the rear more than it lowered the front (judging from the wheel well)

I know looking at the wheel well is not the most effective way to tell how much a car is lowered but I would like the wheel well gaps to be close to the same. so I want to lower the front by 1.3 and lower the rear by like exactly one inch or maybe a little less.

anyhow if anybody knows a brand of springs that will do this let me know, I do know about coilovers but I have had them before and I didn't like the way they ride.

thanks in advance!

 

tein h-tech

 

h&r sports will give it that "even" look. it only happens because typical honda rear fenders are lower than the front fender wells.

 

cut a single coil off your spring if your not tryin to spend money

 

haha oh man I don't want to cut springs lol that will make for a horrible ride. I had an integra with cut springs it was horrible. but I am not worried about spending money I just want a pair of springs that will give me that even look.

I am gonna look into the H&R sports springs thanks mr Nuck Chorris

 

ok just looked into H&R sports and the springs lower 1.75 inches in the front and 1.5 in the back. which sadly is too much for me. I hope I don't have to get coilovers.

hmm just looked at tein H-tech seems to be exactly what I need! I'll be getting these when I get my tokicos.

 

how bout the h&r oe springs or tokico springs

 

look into either then H&R OE Sports or replacing your shocks with Koni Yellows. This will allow you to adjust .75"

personally, i'd rather get the shocks than getting lowering springs.. especially since the yellows are rebound adjustable, you can have it lowered less than an inch and still adjust for driving style

 

Nuck has a good point. You could get the koni yellows and lower your car on your stock springs. The koni website says you can lower the front 25mm(1inch) and the rear 15mm (.6inch). Plus the rebound damping might be more useful than just increasing spring rates. (don't quote me on that previous sentence)

Regardless, the rear fender tends to look lower than the front so 25mm up front .6inch in the rear may end up looking even or slightly higher in the rear.

Or try Integra type R OEM springs.

 

Their is no possible way for this to be done!!!

If you want it to look even, then you want a rake with the rear higher, since the rear fenders are not the same size as the front. The simple solution is to just get rubber spring spacers for the back, and put one between the spring and the perch on each side.

Alternatively, remove the front brake line bracket from the shock (pound it off the stock shocks, or don't install on aftermarket), and then force the shocks a little further into the fork to lower the front a little more. This also has the added benefit of not reducing shock travel any further.
