is there a way to lower your car more on on tein springs? I bought the springs online and it was allready drop low on the previous owner desire, But I want to lower it some more since it still kinda high, any suggestion? AND NO, dont give me tha save up ur money and buy coilover I AINT RICH!, thanks.

 

if you just have springs, they are not adjustable.

 

the only way is to cut them, maybe a coil but it will change the ride.

 

never cut springs.

 

Don't cut them. Just find another set that can drop lower.

 

damn, not what I had expected to hear, sigh.....y not cut them? make it bouncier?

 

its not safe. Cutting them changes the dynamics of how they were designed. If you get in an accident because of the springs, they are going to say sorry, shouldnt have cut your springs and throw you to the wolves. search the suspension forum, im sure there are plenty of answers regarding this topic.

 

i guess cheapass ebay coilover will do for now, sigh thanks again 98vtec

 

ya dont go with ebay coilovers either. been there, tried that. blew my shocks

just find some springs that go lower than tein's.

 

Other option is add koni yellow shocks, with an adjustable perch, you can set the perch the spring rides on lower than the stock shock, so the car sits lower, and they are designed for use with lowering springs too.

he said he aint got alot of money and those are kinda high

 

just save for new/used springs...ive seen people sell the eibach sportlines for 100+shipping and the nuespeeds for like 50 bucks...just shop around and DO NOT buy ebay coilovers...

 

yea no ebay

 

Sell the teins, and get ebay coil-overs that is the cheapest way to go lower without buy anything expensive or cutting springs

 

Just found some kinda cheap skunk2 coilover on ebay, would yal recomend them with stock strut? heard bad things bout coilover and stock strut in the past, just wondering if yal have any luck with them.TAXs RETURN FTW!!

 

...

 

my car fist day with coilovers , blew all my shocks , really bad , dotn get coiover uless its groundcontrol or better , just cut the tein springs a lil , i had cut springs on my civic **** rode really nice idk how tho , with cut sprigs , but thats just me

 

I still run Skunk2 coilovers on my prelude with the stock struts, and I have never had problems, even lowered all the way.

 

damn wtf happend? u went on rally racing or what? I mean blew all ur shock in one day, dang that crazy.

 

how is the ride? smooth? bouncy? got a buddy that has skunk2 springs and that hoe is like a jumping bean.

 

if its just for looks just keep driving on ur stock struts with ur tein's. they're bound to blow and then it'll be lower giving you the look. and after that, hopefully u'll have enough to buy some decent shocks.

 

I had a set of eibach sportlines. very low I loved it. The ride was good though. They were supposed to drop it fr 1.7 and rear 1.5. I think mine was lower than that.




I was actually on stock shocks when I was that low. Now I do not advise to stay on stock shocks, at the time the car had cut springs on stock shocks so I took out the cut ones and put in the eibachs.

I wanted to use kyb agx's. I am not sure why my car sat so low though. but I am positive I was using eibach sportlines.

 

damn that hoe is slammed how low iit is?, I found some groundcontrol coilover set, it set to drop .5-3.5, might get that one.

 

i wouldnt unless you have after market shocks, becasue i got them and it didnt drop my car nearly as much as io wanted and think its because fo shocks.

 

i too have the skunk2 coilovers on stock struts and i havent had any problems with them. they have been on the car for a year and a half now.
