sorry if this is a noob question, first im new here hello, ok my question, i have a 2002 rsx type s im gona keep the wheels stock i wont to lower the car enough to get rid of all the fender gap do they make springs that will go that low or do i need coil overs for that

 

yes they make springs that will lower your car

coilovers are for if you want to adjust your ride height every now and then.

 

the popular springs would be eibachs or teins
depending how low you go, you might want to think about installing a adjustable rear camber kit at the same time of the install

 

yea i mean i new they have springs but will they lower it enough to get rid of almost all of the fender gap or will i have to go with a full coil over setup

 

there are plenty of pics around
check the dc5/ep3 photoshoots

i have eibach sportlines and i think they are great

about 1 finger gap on each tire to fender
ill look for a pic for you

 

thanks bro

 

here are some of my old shots

 

damn sweet, sold...are those 17 inch wheels mine arent

 

yes, stock 05-06 are 17inches

i'm guess you own a 02-04 or a 05-06 base since you have 16s

it will still look good, i think i have another pic of a friend's car with the stock 16s on his 02-04 with sportlines

 

yea i have the 02 type s,

 

found it, this is not a 05-06 by the way, just a front convertion

 

m looking at the neuspeed race springs are they good? and what inch drop is those sportlines you was telling me about. thanks for the help man

 

Dude, I'd go with the Tein or K-Sport coil over kits. Then you don't have to worry about blowing out your stock struts and/or getting a crappy ride since the coil overs come with struts designed for the drop. I personally want the K-Sports(designed by the original drift king himself).

the back might sit lower than the front (common problem for dc5s)
just check out wotm.com and look them up for prices and specs on sportlines
glad to help

i've had my stock shocks on sportlines for almost a year now with no problems
and yes, i will upgrade eventually
probably in koni yellows
i have no reason to invest in a set of 800-1000 coils if i have no intentions of changing my ride height
i'm happy with my current drop

having a mild drop also prolongs the life of your stock shocks
i know someone with a pro-kit that lasted 4 years without a blown shock

 

I agree. it does vary on your ride style and road conditions. koni's are nice my buddy got them with his springs and they are great so far. Tein springs are great if you just want springs.

 

good posts ACO. You've said everything I would have.
I actually have my sportlines sitting on my floor. Im waiting for spring to install them. I cant wait!

 

i have the Neuspeed Race springs and they have no flaws whatsoever. i drive my car fairly hard at times, and sometimes i will take it easy on the steering wheel and the gas pedal. either way the car drives perfectly fine. im on factory shocks as well.

as for the wheel well gap . yeah theirs not too much left . heres a before and after pic

yeah. they are definitely good for the 185 dollars i paid for them.

 

thanks guys, i just noticed the skunk 2 has the same inch drop as the neuspeed so i may go with them there a little cheaper, but i realy dont wont the back to sit lower than the front so ill cross my finges, why does the back sit lower with those springs is it because of such a big drop

it gets bumpy at times (common) but i love the stance

 

i cant get the pic links you left to work

 

neuspeed is pretty cool if you really wanna drop that much but ur shocks may die very soon. I'm using S-tech now and it does it job.

 

nice

 

In the words of the wise Borat, "I LIKE!!!!!"

 

well ive read a hell of alot the last few days and i desided, i like the look of the front lower than the back so im going with the eibach sportline, but will i need a camber kit with those springs ??
