While we're on the topic of suspension, I got a quick q myself. I wanted to know how much of a drop I would get on Integra prokit springs (rated at 1.3" drop) on a 95 lx 4dr (weighs like 2376 lbs).

I figured I'd go for the Integra spring rates for better handling, and if it doesnt drop as low, that'd be great... b/c i live near shitty roads and this is my daily driver.

I am running eibach sportlines on my 94 hatch with tokico blues. The thing is tho, they are from a 94-01 integra. They fit fine, but the ride is horribly stiff. The whole car shakes when I fit bumps and anything more than a crank in the road, kind of unpleasant.

I dont know if I just need civic springs, or cut the bumpstops ? OR what ?

i have eibach sportlines on my hatch, the drop is perfect, and they ride like near stock. i LOVE them. eibachs are the best out of the springs i've had ( skunk2, H&R, Eibach )

are lowering springs the new 'in' thing to do? how come not that many people go the 'gc' or 'skunk2' route anymore.

what could cause this harsh feel of these springs, is it cuz they were for a teg and it weighs more ?

if u look at the springs ull notice that the ones on the coilover s are not wound the same as the individual springs of the tein SS s or eibiach Prokit and Sportlines

this would indicate they re not progressive style springs and have a constant stiff ride rather than stiffinging up while being compress d

I just figured it sucks if you buy lowering springs and your ride height isn't even for whatever reason. At least with sleeve coilovers, you can correct it.
