I want to get lowering springs for my 95 Accord I dont want to get the full suspension just springs. I was wondering if anybody has Eibach or Nuespeed lowering springs and what they think about them? How is the ride and are they worth getting?

Here's a couple, there are more.

Next time try searching first.

 

do a seacrh next time!

 

We are not mind reades so you need to tell us what springs ie. prokit, sportline, sports, or race. You should also mention what type of drop your looking for, intentions for the car such as racing, show, or just commuting, and if you live in CT are you planning on driving in the snow with this car?

 

Eibach eat Nuespeed alive in suspension tech. IMO
My friend used to have nuespeed but he switched
to eibach after couple of month..
it's so bouncy

 

I'm on Neuspeed Sport Lowering for almost 2 years on Tokico shocks. I've felt that bouncey feeling on other Neuspeed installed cars, but on my car, it's pretty firm.

 

I say eibach.

 

uhhh....just so all of you know....all springs will make your car bouncy...it's the shocks that control the bound and some even control rebound as well...aftermarket shocks(though i've heard bad things about tokico) are a good solution to firming up your "bouncy" car with aftermarket springs...springs don't effect the bounciness...shocks do....

 

ding...ding...ding.... we have a winner, springs afeect how far the car travels downward or rolls on one side, the shock effects how it recoils from the pressure which is where your bounce comes from

anyone with adjustable shocks set them at full stiff and drive around then set them at full soft and drive around, notice a difference?

 

yup, koni yellows, best investment yet

 

I my konis

on a set of prokits, set at one full turn stiff on all 4 corners. excellent ride Q, good handling.

 

No..agx for 309 a set.

 

good point about the bouncy ride. i think he was on stock shocks.
what about those agx? i'm thinking about picking up a Civic and was debating on what springs/shocks to go with.

 

heres what i got btw.

I am riding on prokit and stock shock..
my friend got agx and sportline in his teg..
it ride like an ****..it's way too low..

 

Anyone have spring rates for these? Just wondering, does anyone possibly have spring rates for tenzo R springs, thats what i have, with bilsteins in the front. I hit my A'arm on the top of the fender well often but who doesnt I like my ride, might in the future go for either koni yellows or KYB AGXs, price is a large factor right now, expecially between those two.

 

i dont hit ****! who needs spring rates seriously? i dont think they are necessary unless your auto x racing

 

Stuts are what make your ride. You can throw some Aerospeed springs on your car along with a pair of some Koni's and it will ride like a dream and handle great. Stepping up on the springs is going to make it that much better.

 

I myself just bought some Eibach sportline and it stiffened my suspension and lowered it 2". Their great. But you might want to invest in the kyb ajustable shocks too. Later Dayz

I have eibach sportlines... kind of bouncy with stock shocks imo.
Just ordered koni yellow sp3s and a progress rear sway bar, I'll let you know how they feel. BTW Tornactive.com has a 5% off discount for H-T members, https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=351532, it ended up 528 for the konis and 199 for the sway bar + FREE SHIPPING .

i would say in general H&R and NEUSPEED <U>SPORT</U> springs are the best bet for all-round performance.

I've been on NEUSPEED SPORTS since early '00 and I love them...
Tokico "blue" shocks match them nicely (hey, MazdaSpeed engineers chose them for a reason on the MP3 and the MS Protege Turbo)

KYB AGX is by far best priced exernally adjustable shock

Koni "red" is by far best shock in the lower price bracket (better than the Tokico and KYB AGX)

Koni "yellow" is the ultimate...

I'm on Tokico "blues" and they're fine with NEUSPEED SPORT springs, but ultimately i would like to switch to Konis...

BTW, my car is a 4th gen, essentially the same suspension as your 5th gen.


NEUSPEED Sport/Tokico High Performance "blue" combo in action... Ahead of ITR (My old car)

In action again (My old car)

Rollin on the road (My present car)

Standin still (My present car)

Notice it's not a set up to be "slammed"... also my 215/45ZR17s are higher than recomended 215/40ZR17 so while it fills the wheel wells, it creates slight (.2") ground clearance than the stock 195/60R15s...
