Im looking to slam my SI sedan for both performance and look.. I want it dropped at east around an inch and a half.. what are the best springs to go out and get? I have heard good things about a lot of them.. ne suggestions?

 

springs isnt really going to give you the "slammed" look, just lowered. if you want "slammed" go with coilovers. im not sure if the coupe coilovers fit the sedan, some research should fix that.

but if you just want springs, id go with skunk2 or eibach. i went megan racing because i get hook ups from them. and to me they are just as good as other brands.

 

^x2. but 1.5" really isnt "slammed"

No but it's close enough. Anything lower is potentially gonna cause problems with bottoming out...both on the bumper and on the fender during turns.

 

Go with Tein.

Flex: $1860.00

I would say dont slam your car because any car which is low to the floor ends up messing up their body kit. Especially if you want "PERFORMANCE"... I can see it now... 50 on a street..... at night.... here comes the dip...... bam was that the front of my car???? yep it was ha ha. I know I already bottomed out twice racing in rialto. Those streets are fudged!

aftermarket springs arent meant to work with stock dampers meaning your shocks will blow much sooner.

"slamming" your car will make your car handle like ****.

the closer to the ground u get wont make your car handle better.

 

cut the springs

 

yeah this is true.. i didnt exactly want it slammed. i didnt realize that slammed meant all the way down.. i just wanna lower it a little bit and get some better handling ya know.. ive heard good things about tein tho

 

so i imma just get springs.. thanks for all the help and the info

I still recommend complete coilovers. The ride height is adjustable, so you won't necessarily have to "slam" your car.

super streets are junk, if your getting coils either go with BC or the Tein flex's.

Probably. I've checked a couple sites and they still show "ON-ORDER" availability.

 

leave it alone....


or get Koni yellows....when avail.

or HFP


strut suspensions are not meant to be slammed....

and Honda did an excellent job w/ the new SI's(strut) suspension tuning....

Except for the bodyroll.

 

I don't get why people say that cutting springs makes the ride "bumpy." I know for a fact that there are some lowering springs on the market that are the equivalent of a shorter stock spring. Cutting a stock spring would get you exactly where you started with these same lowering springs.

HEATING and cutting a spring however can change the properties of the metal, and I can see how this could make the ride bumpy.

Just cutting a spring (still stupid and cheap) doesn't change the spring rate of a spring though.

Ur kidding. I just have my car lowered an inch and the body roll is very minimal. Even at moderate speeds (50-60mph) the car stays pretty much level to the road and planted.
