Default Suspension choices

Im getting lowering springs for my RSX (DC5). The ones im trying to decide from are:

1. KG/MM S-21 Springs
2. Spoon Sport Progressives
3. Tien S-Tech Springs

Let me know what you guys are running and what you think is the better choice. I want a good performance spring with a decent drop.

Thanks

Why not go for the Tein Flex. You are already spending the cash for the SS why not go with a better set up. Flex is well worth the money.

If you just want to get rid of the factory gap, go with the Kgmm or Spoon springs. They only drop DC5 1.1-1.3 inches and will work well with your OEM shocks. Other springs that are comparable to this is the Eibach Pro-Kit.

The Tein S-Tech has a greater drop. Approx 1.6-1.8 inches. Your ride will be bouncier and they will wear out your OEM shocks quicker.

Either way all your spring choices are good ones. It is up to you to decide how much of a drop you want.

My choice personally if I am just going to use springs is the Kgmm or Spoon ones.

If you want a lower drop, then I would consider coilovers instead. Buddyclub, Zeal, JIC are all worth looking at.
