When I search for this, I usually get topics about people who have lowered their EK, or people that buy **** from ebay, which isnt what I need to know. I am looking for a set of decent lowering springs or coilovers for my 1996 DX hatchback. I like a very low car, and have had Skunk2's in the past and loved them. My question now would be where can I go to find a decent set of springs besides ebay, that wont kill my budget, and offer a nice low stance? Any online shops? I seem to have trouble searching for places to buy my parts, I also need a nice muffler. Thanks for the help in advance!

the market place here?? 0_o

 

h&r race.. 2-1/2 drop i think, $150new

 

Where can I get H&R's? I would like to have them by this weeekend if possible.

 

ok well, maybe I will go skunk2 again since I know the quality is good. What is the difference between their lowering and race springs? These are what I am looking at getting:

A year and a half ago when I bought skunk2 springs they cost me 230.00, maybe I bought race instead of regular lowering springs? I plan to put them on stock struts for the time being.

 

Oh I see, well, I guess it doesnt matter to me really, the last set of skunks I had were very stiff and handled GREAT.

 

I ordered the skunk2 springs a few days ago, they should be here the 21st! Now its time for rims, tires, and shocks. I might be picking up my rims later on today, then its on to finding some shocks.
What would be a decent shock thats not extremely expensive to go well with my skunk2 springs? I was thinking tokico, but I am open to any suggestions?
thanks in advance!

It depends on what you define as "extremely expensive."

I'd recommend a set of Koni 8041-Sports (commonly referred to as "Yellows"). If those are too "extremely expensive" to you, then "a decent shock that's not extremely expensive" is an oxymoron and doesn't exist.

 

get the tociko blues aith the skunk2's very nice and not to harsh on the budget.

 

Just bought these babys, retail 1300 with tires, bought them for 300 bucks, they need tires, but its still an ok deal I think, they are in perfect condition, I got them from a buddy.
Springs come in the mail tomorrow.

 

Eww for the wheels...

to each their own, I guess.

 

you could of buy some ROTAs with tires for $300 hahahahahahahaaaa......

It's not about trend. It's about the wheels looking good. If the OP likes those wheels, that's his prerogative. If Harry likes rotas better than those (as do I), then that's his.

 

back on topic now umm id either get kyb agx's or tokico blues if you dont wanna spend a whole lot on struts

 

As for wheels I am not used to 17 inch rims like these, nor the style. All of my previous hondas have had integra rims, si wheels, enki's, nothing over a 15". I figured its time for a change, I like a nice EK on 17's slammed, looks good IMO. Screw Rotas, I am so sick of those wheels at this point Icould puke, and its not even the wheel itself, I like the designs, its everyone that has them, talk about played out.

 

17

 

juztheway - Again, I am not a trend *****, JDM is the new rice, I am getting away from sidemarkers and 15's.....

 

I got my H&R OE Sport Springs for like $150 from King Motorsports but they were out of stock when I ordered them so it took about 4 or 5 weeks to get them. Call before ordering to make sure they are in stock.

 

good coilovers

 

I would do 16's on an EK but is your ride or project ....

I was just saying that you can find rotas for cheap !!!


thanks Eran for backing me up !!

 

great idea, lowering springs on regular struts pftt
oh and nice rims, id rther have played out rotas than those shitty ebay rims

 

Ebay rims? pull your head out of your *** you clown, those are R-1's, 1300 dollar wheels with tires, that doesnt sound like ebay to me... research before you post, you just made an idiot out of yourself.

They retail for $1300. Most people on this forum would pay $200 with tires at the most. Pull your head out of your *** and do some research into used market value before you post, you just made an idiot out of yourself.

 

200 bucks for mint condition 17's? retail, as in that was the actual purchase price one year ago, I got them for 300, if thats not a deal, then I dont know what is.
Thats like me buying a Garret GT35R and putting 2k miles on it, and selling it to you for 300 bucks, is that not a good deal still? Same concept.
