TTT

 

i have neuspeed race and they ride pretty good but you are going to need better shocks. also h&r are pretty good too.

 

can i see the drop on ur car with that setup?? cause im really curious about the height difference on neuspeed race vs sport

 

I had h&r sports on my 96 sedan and I loved them the ride was really comfortable and the handling on the street was excellent. I don't have a pic but the gap was less than a finger in the back and maybe 1 1/2 fingers in the front. It looked perfect. Not dumped but still agressive, I got a lot of compliments on the ride height.

 

ic. the drop sounds pretty good but doesn't that make ur front end higher?? from my experience that doesn't look too good. or is it just not noticable?

 

i have the neuspeed race and in the front there like right a over the tire. but the back its like maybe one finger gap.

 

No it was not very noticeable because the front fenders are wider so a small change in height is harder to see. I actually think the chasis itself was pretty level, the front fenders are just curve open higher than the rears, you can see it in your pics. Plus the front being a little higher in proportion to stock ratios of height should help with weight distribution and also the front needs a little more travel.

 

H&R sports. paired with illuminas or koni sport yellows, make for a pretty good daily setup.

 

did u have a b16? cause that would affect the weight plus were u on stock shocks???

 

The weight of a B motor isn't gonna effect ride height very much. The extra 60lbs atop two 250lb/in+ springs = .12" lower than stock...

 

No I had the stock d16 but I did have agxs, and I liked them a lot. I would listen to 94eg! he knows whats up.

 

ic that helps a lot. neone else have opinions??? the more the better!!!

 

I've got Koni Yellow's with Neuspeed Sport's. If you only want 1.5 in the front and 1.75 in the rear then don't go with Neuspeed Race. They'll drop you at least two inches. I'd say go with Neuspeed Sport's. Nice drop and I haven't had any problems with them at all.

 

sounds real good. can i see a pic of ur drop?? pics realli help me out guys

Same Here!

That was when I first put them on. They've settled more now. I'd say there was over a two finger gap then... now there's about 1.5 finger gap and it's nice.

 

looks pretti nice!! i think im goin with the race tho cause i want them right on the wheelwell. more pics frum anyone would b appreciated!!

perfect!!!! r u guys using camber kits??

 

At the ride height that the 'race' springs would provide, a camber kit in the front would limit your suspension travel; an adjustable upper front control arm would hit the shock tower. The rates on the race springs, in my opinion, are not enough to help prevent bottoming out of the suspension at the ride height the race springs sit at.

Also, what offset and what width are those Slipstreams? You may have may have to roll the fenders if you drop the car, even at the sport springs level.

 

yea i figured i would need to roll them. its a 40mm ofset.

 

bump for more opinions!!

 

BUMP for answers cause I need to lower my car too

 

TTT!!

 

im not using a camber kit and you dont need one
