I know the drop is pretty good and I will need a camber kit, but is there any rubbing issues? Im on HFP's +45 offset 215/45/R17 for tires.

 

youll be fine. no rubbing.

 

ive got them on stockies and i dont rub but i would do an alignment asap after installing the because the toe will be out.

 

you shouldnt rub? how do they ride? i chose my progress springs over the SK's but always wondered how they rode?

 

Are there any springs out there that drop 3/4" or 1"?

 

TEIN S-Tech I think is .8 inches if im not mistaken

 

is skunk2 better then tein springs?

 

Skunk2 has a large drop >2in while Tein has less than an inch. So with tein you will have a better ride skunks will be a bit bouncy and you need a camber kit and shocks. its really personal preference both are high quality

 

HFP springs i think k5 has them and i think it drops you 1"

 

I heard my name.

HFP will drop you 1 inch.

 

i think skunk2 is too low for me. lol

 

potholes, speed bumps, and parking blocks will be your enemy

 

Ive not needed a camber kit and mines been dropped for over 2 years

 

Ive not needed a camber kit and ive had mine dropped on pro for over 2 years.

 

pics???

 

Well I dont know about the skunk 2 springs or the Tiens, all ive ever known about Tien stuff is its usually expensive. I have the eibach springs, and i love em, havent needed a camber kit or springs and Ive had em for over 2 years. However i am going to be replacing my stock srpings come the next month or so.

As for pics Ill take sum later and post em up, the ones in my garage kinda show my drop but I can show better oncs later.

 

H-techs drop that. S-Techs go lower.

 

Lucky you im NOT droped and i def need a camber kit.My right side is bad but the left is way worse.lol No good

 

i agree with the statement about the eibach pro-kit. 1.2" front, 1" rear. i can almost guarantee you'll be pleased with them judging from your posts.

as far as alignment, it's always best to check to make sure you are within spec and get aligned accordingly anytime you touch the suspension, no matter what kit you are installing. the thing about the pro-kit is you will be able to reach stock or close to stock alignment spec using factory adjustment means.

 

I've been dropped on Eibach Sportlines for nearly a year. My front tires were fine, the rears on the other hand, I had to swap them out with the front tires to even out the wear. They are a touch bouncy but that could be fixed with better struts, stock struts are way too compressed. I also despise potholes and speed bumps more than before. Had to learn how to know where that invisible front end is so I don't drag on curbs in parking spots too.

Already ready to order a set of coilovers with adjustable dampers.

 

I was just about to post this.

A friend installed a set of H-Techs on his car with tokico struts and 18" rims and it sat right off the tire.

I'd go S-Tech, Pro Kit for what it seems your looking for. Those Skunk2's are nice, but its super low.

 

Yeah im dropped on Sportlines also and will be replacing my stock sturt/shocks due to the ride being a bit uncompftable now and since ive put up with it for over 2 years im ready to upgrade to better shocks, going ot be going with the skunk 2 sport shocks possibly. But yeah gud luck in your decision. The proseries from Eibach are good if you dont want too much of a drop, I love my sportlines cause it rides just above the tires, I dont have any rubbing issues, but speedbumps I have to take slow, and potholes and train tracks I do my best with.

 

sportline is a much more aggressive setup than pro-kit. combine that with the fact that this car uses particularly poor dampers and you have a situation such as yours. the dampers honda chose for the latest gen Si are a prime example of honda cutting corners as they move along gen to gen. they simply can't handle operating on their last few inches of travel while getting beat down by a more aggressive spring set.

your best bet, if you prefer a kit like the sportline, is to upgrade your dampers. i believe, however, that if you want a mild lowering yet an impressive gain in performance without sacrificing much of anything, you can use a pro-kit with the stock dampers and get similar type damper longevity that you would experience using stock springs.

 

I got the Sportlines for 230, installed and all. Figured it was a good way to get low and save for coilovers. I might just pick up a set of Skunk2 dampers and camber plates and arms to round it out. The height is where I want to be and the spring rate is good, just need quality dampers to rid me of that bouncy ride is all hehe.

I've always liked building my own suspension over just buying coilovers. I mean, how often you adjust height once they set anyhow?

 

I agree i am going to be looking into some dampers and arms possibly as well, because I also like the drop with the sportlines the prokit to me just dosent seem like it really does anything. but two each his own. so yeah if your not looking or such a big dop then id say go with builthatch's advice..
