RSR spring is not bad and the Ti 2000 is a good one.

Ti 2000 is one of RSR spring series. i haven't follow the OE type suspension for so long, i can't give you good answer. however, you cannot really go wrong with RSR.

my friend Arn was sponsored was them when they were in America. i would tell you to hit him up, but he got banend here. **** mods sucks. anyways, Arn pretty much shared his info about rs*r with eg6si brian ... hit him up.

from ARN** RSR made 3 kinds of springs. down, race and street. race=blue and lowers the car about 2 1/4 inches. really good springs excellent for what they are...lower springs.very nice clean ride. down springs only lower the car about 1 inch or something like that. the downs are black in color. hope that helps. HT are for faggs>PEACE**
it's bryan...and yes i would recomend rs*r to anyone who has a chance to purchase a set...www.turboimport.com sells them for $100 new...considering, they're only available from japan only...

i had a set of RSR race springs on my 97 civic coupe and i didn't like them. the ride was pretty bouncy and i noticed a slight sag on the springs after a few months. maybe i had that one out of thousand which was actually a defect but i dunno. the drop was suppose to be 2.5 in the front and 2.25 in the back. when i had them, the front of my car had a 2 finger gap and the rear was tucking like hell. i thought maybe the springs were put on backwards or something but after lifting the car they were installed properly. i switched to skunk coilovers 6 months after that and never looked back.

I have RS*R springs on my hatch and i love them. They arnt very bounce what-so-ever. They do handle great. They are a little low on my car tho. I have the "down" springs with are like a 3" drop. I have 120,000 miles on them and still just like the day i got them. ALthough i think they might be a little lower now!

no...the down springs are black and are a 1.5" drop. The race springs are blue and are about a 2.5" drop.

Does anybody know the spring rates on these blue springs? I'm looking to buy some soon.

I had rsr down springs about three years ago. They were supposed to be a 1.5" drop. After they settled it was more like a 2" drop.

I had the RSR down springs on my hatch.. the drop was only like 1 1/4" or so.. very subtle, they felt great, handled very nice. That was 5 years ago... since then I have replaced them with coil-overs and I wish I had my RSR's back. (95 eg hatch)

I just bought a set of RSR race springs for my girl's 94 LS, haven't installed them yet, but I know she will love them. Great ride, and great handling. A little bouncy, but it IS a race spring.

peaces.

I have the down springs as well. 2" drop in the front and 1" and something in the back. I just reinstalled them because my Zeals are still on their way. Does anyone know springrates? I believe they are all the same for DC/EG/EK.

doesnt a car bounce depending on the quality of the shocks, not springs?
So why would people buy ground control instead of arospeed/maxspeed? But having a good set of shocks does help a great deal
