Because it seems like no one wants to make anything new what-so-ever.

I am trying to get lowering springs made for a 2000-2006 Insight, and this seems to be an impossible task.

Eibach - at least 50 kits made
progress - 50 kits
H&R - wont even talk to me
Ground Control - Been a run around.

Who else is left that is decent that might be able to do this?

 

Progress.

 

read above.

 

what do you expect? someone to make a custom set for you?? for like $150? im surprised ANY COMPANY entertained you with a 50 min order. theres ZERO market for the 1g insight.

the rear suspension is a divorced spring with a beam axle.


you should be able to create a mount to accept a regular 2.5" eibach race spring and use a GC threaded collar. or even see if a VW kit can be made to work. they have similar rear suspension (divorced spring).

the front setup should be a bit more straight forward. i would assume something for like a EM1 or RSX front strut would work.


but seriously. how do you expect "helpful" means "design me a custom kit".

 

well, the front is a basically a ep3/rsx, and the rear is a fit. i would try to get a group by going, but no where near 50 kits. there is some interest in the insight, and since they are becoming cheaper, people are starting to buy them and do k20 swaps.

i already have custom one-of Koni SA and DA struts/shocks btw. So people/compaines will do a one time custom suspension piece.

also, in looking for springs, im not sure why they wouldn't be able to make something if I sent them a set of stock springs? Could they not take measurements and make a lowering spring with a higher spring rate from that?

 

you have no idea how production works huh?

custom koni's are completely different. theyre already made to be customized and rebuilt. they just add or subtract washers and whatnot.

so why arent you looking at Fit options?

 

If this is stupid question im sorry, you say the front is bascily a rsx and rear a fit, so could you just buy front springs for a rsx and rears for a fit?
And just get different spring rates for your application?

 

Cut spring. That's how everyone did it way back in the days.

 

throw some coilover springs on it and call it a day.

 

i said they are like them, meaning in design. they wont work however.

 

Trade your car in for a Civic hybrid.

Then you will have all the suspension choices in the world.

 

yeah, thanks for the help...

 

I do what I can.

 

thanks for making me lol

 

Thank you!

I'll be here all week.
