So my friend has a 1.6L 95 EX with a coilover setup she bought from a friend of her's it also has the stock upper control arms with cut springs, so she goes through tires badly from wear on the inside its way to low and the ride bounces almost like a water bed.

Would it be possible to put stock springs in place of the cut ones, not sure what the coilover brand is, she also has no idea nor does the idiot that did the work...

first time working with the springs, would anyone know what needs to be replaced during spring replacement? ie insulators etc.

 

I had a similar situation, but my springs were heated til they sagged. I just got a set of prebuilt units with spring, isolators, lower mounts (everything except lower bolt) for like $150 a corner.

 

Find a set of integra struts and springs, someone is always parting those out for like 100 bucks or less.

 

Just got and source the stock suspension. (OEM or Aftermarket...Not name brand) Or just got and get an aftermarket suspension setup and your done. ALSO DONT FORGET TO GET YOUR CAR AN ALIGNMENT!!!!!! Or you will be going through tires just as fast...Goodyear has lifetime alignment for like 150-180. I cant remember. So you can go as often as you like free of charge.

 

Its not free of charge if you already paid for lifetime alignment for the time you own the vehicle.
