Default Whats the best handling springs for under $300

I want to know the best ones I can get, I know im getting koni yellows, and ingalls camber kit, just dont know what springs to get. I was really looking at H&R race, I want to be able to take corners like hell, but then again its my daily driver. 93 VTEC!

my guess is prolly gonna be eibach sportlines if they make em for 4th gens, they don't for 5ths

or, um, GC coiovers, just a little over $300 though, but well worth it

and they are essentially the same thing as H&Rs

Eibach Pro-Kit,Ive had more than 6 sets on different cars over the years and all have been great.As far as construction goes thay are the best they meet ISO9001 and TUV standards and only Eibach has a Million dollar spring machine to build the springs.You can also look into the Sportline if you want a more extreme drop with a harsher ride.

what he said, i had them on my 4th gen and loved how it handled. I would personally get the GC's, eibach makes the springs for their kits.

Tein's if they make them for you application
arent to much for their springs,, 160-180

nuespeed are a good choice too, not to expensive either 130-140

Sounds like right out of a commercial!

I've always heard Eibach's tend to sag, but i've never had any. Neuspeed Sports/Races are awesome; i've had a set of both on my car, and I have my Race's for sale right now cheap, b/c they were too low.

Actually right off Eibach's website.I just really believe in Eibach,granted i have Tanabe Sustec Pro SS's on my 4th gen now but for the money IMHO the Eibachs are still the best.Theyve been around way before the "import craze" as has Neuspeed and a few others.Once again just my opinion.

Hey, sorry to ***** up this thread, but I have a set of the Neuspeed Race springs for a 92-01 Prelude for sale. They lower the car 1.8-2.0 inches. They were used for about 6 months and look practically brand new. I was thinking around $100 + shipping for the set... Please PM or email me if anyone is interested.

Andrew

Oh also, the Eibach Prokits are very nice springs for the street. But they are more for asthetics than performance. The Prelude Prokit spring rates are only about 15% higher than stock, and they are progressive rate springs. Very comfortable springs for street. But if handling performance is your goal, there are better options out there IMHO.

This is my experience. Eibach is average, not stiff enough for my taste. My freind switched from eibach's to h&r's in his crx and likes them much better. Sprint springs = good price but my freinds civic is way to bouncy and not very stiff at all.
Tiens are very good, lower than my h&r's but i dont think thier quite as stiff. Overall I have and will again go with h&r imo they are the best spring for the price, 150.
