Default can anyone tell me if black RSR springs for a civic is any good?


I want to know if they bounce or do they ride stiff?
it's the one that lowers 1.5 to 1.75 inches and retails for $195

any comments would be appreciated. thanx

by the way-I'm suppose to buy the set for 110 brand new....
and it's for my 95 civic coupe.

110 is pretty good for rsr or for any major brand down spring for that matter. If this is ebay/mailorder make sure the person isint charging 50 dollars for shipping.

Ive put rsr's on a friends vti hatch and it rode noticably firmer. I cant say much else because all I really did was a quick test drive to make sure everyhting was right.

If you are looking for a smooth ride with a drop. I would recoment tein s-tech's because they have the lowest spring rates and the most moderate drop.

I was unable to find spring rates for eibach pro kit but all of there stuff is quality too.
