ok so i want to lower my stock 98 dx coupe. i want it low, but not low enough where its gonna rub with the Si rims i'm gettin. i also still wanna be able to have 4 people in the car and not scrape on every bump. any suggestions on how low to go/brand of springs? thanks

 

Neuspeed sport springs = $130 1.5 inch drop in front and 1.75 inch in rear.
KYB GR-2 struts = $200

$330 and a nice daily driver suspension.

 

Eibach Sportlines around 2 - 2.5
Koni Yellows or AGX's

Not trying to be smart or anything, but Neuspeed Sports are almost like H&R sports (just a little bit different in spring rate). It is 1.75" FRONT and 1.5" REAR.

Just trying to correct yah.

Not trying to be smart or anything, but Neuspeed Sports are the exact spring as H&R. Your drop height numbers are correct.

 

I would get Ground Control coilovers. That way you can put the car at any height you want.

I know they are correct, I was correcting Spade's drop height numbers because he switched front and rear.

As for spring rates, I can't remember the website I found them on, but I remember copying down this information:
