i appreciate any help!


thanks,

change your heading and someone may help you....i believe they will, but your much more likely to get a solid answer if your title was some thing like " Tein Springs from EM1 to DX Hatch possible?" then those who knows about springs and suspension will be available to help you....

 

See rules and guidelines for threads.

As for your question, the springs will fit. It's a matter of spring rates for the different cars. The spring rates for a 99 SI will be different than one for an EX/DX/HX - CX/DX hatch.

 

and for your information..tein is pronounced TAIN.. which ryhmes with GAIN, Pain, candy cane and the like.

 

fvcking hate titles like this

 

yes, it will fit/work.

 

what the hell does this have to do with what he is asking??

yes they will fit, as said already the rates are different. so its not going to lower the car as much due to the weight difference.

 

i answerd his question what did you do????

he asked if they would fit,
and i was also letting him know that its going to lower the car as much. due to the different spring rates and weight.

what is has to do with is if you have spring for a certian weight (em1) and put them on the hatch that weighs less even a few hunderd pounds makes a huge difference in how the springs will work.

 

i guess you can pee farther then i can

 

i guess you cant pee as far as i thought.

so i guess it really depends if the coupe is manual or automatic..give or take 50 pounds..lets just say manual transmission... M/T 97 coupe weighs 20 pounds more then OP 96 hatch DX.


so your saying that 20 pounds is worth even mentioning that his car will sit higher? install a system in the car..bring your fat girlfriend with...both cars would sit the same.

there!!!...so in closing..what did you bring to this forum?...nothing but random guessing and unsure facts about weights and ride height.

 

he said em1 which is a 99-00 civic si which weights in at 2612lbs and a 96 hatch weights 2,253 so thats 359 lbs.
not 20lbs

if it was for 96-00 it wouldnt matter hatch or not. but its an si.

 

yes it'll work.

and its pronounced tey-in. stands for technical innovation

 

wow everyone thanks for the replies!
yes my car is manual so what would you all estimate the drop to be?
i would like it anywhere from 1 inch to 1.5 inches?

 

if they are from a actual si not just a 96-00 i would say about a inch. maybe a lil more.

they are from a si right?

 

this is what OP said ...96 and up civic coupe OR em1.

see that or word in there...it means either or...one or the other...NOT just stritcly EM1....and OP was just asking for fitment..not ride height.

now the correct questions are taking place... "how high will my car sit now OP said..." "are the springs for a 96-00 coupe OR an EM1."

these questions would not have came up if it wasnt for me finding specs on weight of the mentioned cars from the OP. so i guess i still do pee farther then you.

you better hope for the sake of your argument that OP says 99-00si...your question sounds like doubt to me.

 

its actually TAIN.. here is the tein commercial....its pronounced at the 25 second mark

here is the same version but diffrent language.

so now im just looking for what the ride height would be for my hatch when i put them on?

 

well if you would answer my question we could helpp you.
if they are for a 96-00 civic they will lower the car 1.9 1.7 im guess thats what they lower to but not sure, it will be what tein said the springs will do

if its for a si bot that much because of the weight factor.


waaBAAH- look at the title to the thread title IT SAYS F****ING EM1!!!!!!!
and no its not prononced TAIN,

 

you have anythign to support this? because i have two videos to support TAIN.

 

haha, it is 100% most definitely not tey-in. As mentioned earlier, it's tain/tane. It's one syllable and it rhymes with cane.

The other funny mispronunciation is Myoo-Jen. LOL

I have a BA in Japanese, so don't try to argue it

 

i think its for a 96- up coupe or an em1?

 

what everyone is trying to say and is saying is...

96-00 coupe is diffrent from an EM1 in terms of springs rates. but the springs will easilly match for your hatch

EM1 is 99-00 civic si

96-00 coupe is everything ...hx,dx,ex along with all the hatches,cx,hx.dx or whatever.

 

thanks so much for your help!
just one more question, it will still lower it at least an inch right?
