FYI.....

Sprint Springs = you get what you pay for.

We put some Sprints on a 5th Gen Civic and that car got lower and lower and lower. We ended up going back to stock and bought some 'real' springs once we got the money.

 

what does FYI mean?

 

If you want to go that low just be forwarned that you will be investing in 4 new struts and a camber kit as well

For Your Information

 

i hear sprints are junk as well--you need something that wont sag like eibach, H&R etc

i'll be goddamned if there hasnt been 2 suspension related topics every day for the last two weeks on here--all the same shiet

Yup..why doesnt everyone just Bag it

 

cause bags wouldn't handle that good. I decided to go with H&R Race springs and KYB AGX.

arent kyb gr2 basically a better oem replacement?

im thinkings GC coilovers with illuminas? sound good?

 

yea......i was gonna go that way.......but w/ camber kit + alignment, ur looking at close to 1000.....AGX's will do just as fine

GR2's are gas shocks and the stocks are oil, so no they are not a oem replacement. GR2's are for light performance, and I'm going to use the car for drag not road racing. Man I sure do love the way the car drives though.

 

AGX's are only like 60 bucks more for a set of 4 so, I'm going to get H&R race springs with AGX shocks.

 

1000bucs for gc's and illuminas? holy cow.... might as well get teins

what i meant by the gr2's being oem replacements was, ive heard that they arent that great to slam your car with.

GR2 is oem replacement, maybe 0.02586218 percent better than oem shock.

Come on, you'll get what you pay for.

 

i havnt really got into looking at anything besides engine stuff, just picked up some cross drilled brembo front and rear rotors for 185 bucs

but i had bought a suspension from a friend gr2's and suspension tech springs for 250..

i thought only like teins were that expensive....whats a good/ not state of the art combo with gc coilovers... at a decent price

 

I just bought the KYB adjustable AGX shocks. Should I go with H&R Race or something else? I want to have no more then a one finger gap.

 

ttt

 

I just ordered H&R sports for my kyb agx's on Friday. Reading on here for a while I think those are the best springs with the nicest drop.

h&R do sag after a while.
But it is a good spring.

 

will there be any wheel gap with the H&R Race? KYB AGX 94 accord lx coupe

 

If you dont want fender gap go with coilovers. You wont get anywhere close to the same results with springs. I have bought KYB agx's with the tenzo coilovers. The tenzos are not that expensive compared to other coilovers, but are rated very highly. They have a 575 spring rate in the front and back, and pairing that up with some agx's you will have quite the stiff ride. Not to mention that they are adjustable 1-4 in. Oh yea, you can kiss body roll goodbye too!

 

and when u drop 2.5" w/o camber adj on ur coils, ull be sorry........there was (i hope still available) Apexi WS coilovers in the sponsor classifieds for 610 shipped...

 

what? when I had race springs on my DC4 there was no gap at all.

 

I just got tokico blues and eibach (1.2 drop) springs from touringaccord and i love this set up. I had coilovers before this and would much rather have springs. Looks arnt everything.If you drop it that much your gonna have a hell of a time finding a place to do a alignment and your gonna have to purchase a camber kit for front and rear. Just some things to think about if your on a budget.
