So i was getting my Ecu fixed at synapse and my buddy that works there told me he had a set of Civic Type R struts and springs he wanted sell there basicaly brand new from Hmotorsonline. I got them for $150 there already put together he said they will lower the car a lil from stock, which i currently have some old tockio illumians and cheap coil sleves rides like ****.

Question

How much lower then stock will they be?

Whats the spring rates are they actually stiffer?

There going on my 98 civic ex, as there a dirrect bolt on and it my DD so i wanted something nice, i had OEM 99-00 Si struts/springs/forks i was going to use but i figured I'd ****** up the Type R's to good a deal to pass.

 

Should lower the car about a inch. Give or take a little.

The spring rates are 240lb front and rear. So yes, they are stiffer then what the car had in it.

Yes, they will bolt right on to the car.

 

Thanks for the info 98civdx, Have you ever rode on a set of type R's im wondering how they will ride, I've never had stock struts on there before so im not sure what to expect..

 

No, I haven't.

You would deffinetly be able to feel a difference if you compared them to any other other stock civic spring. Honestly, I think it will be great. The one thing I hated about my stock suspension is how soft it was.

 

It will be a good improvement, but 240 is still pretty soft. but $150 cant really beat that.

 

Do CTR's not have the eyelet on the lower rear shocks like ITR rear shocks and LCA's?

 

Not that I am aware of, they have the normal fork style and size of any regular 96-00 civic.

 

yeah there's no eyelet, Just a standard fork setup at the LCA's
