Best springs for 02 si???
Wanting to drop my 02si now, and i was wondering if anyone had any springs to suggest. I still want to retain stock ride quality but i want a lower stance on the car.
I also realize that when you drop it you are going to lose some ride quality, i just don't want a real rough ride.
any suggestions on springs???

If going with just springs, I'd suggest Eibach
Sportlines/Pro-kit or Progress.
Tein S-Techs are a popular choice (2"ish drop,
fairly soft so ride quality is OK) but aren't really
designed for ep3 chassis (made for civic coupes, I think).

Re: Best springs for 02 si??? (SONIC SI)
Neuspeed springs have induced blown shocks on several guys cars in under
a year's time. Just an FYI.
Forgot about the H&R's, those are good, too.

Either Eibach for less of a drop, or go with the Tein springs for more of a drop....Either way go ahead and get a rear camber kit...The front is slightly adjustable.

Were they running the stock shocks or aftermarket?

I have S-Techs and they're garbage. They have a lower spring rate than the stock springs did.

Re: Best springs for 02 si??? (irrational)
Me too. I like my Progress Springs. It's a good drop. The Tein S Tech aren't made for the Si that's why it has a higher spring rate. Not much performance going on there but rather looks and comfortable ride. I'd choose either Progress or H&R's. Eibachs are expensive.

That's right about the teins, they aren't Si specific. However, they actually have a *lower* spring rate than stock.
Stock - 228 front, 440 rear
Tein - 157 front, 291 rear
