I have a set of 95 GSR springs laying around and I would like to lower my wagon. I know they are definetely shorter than the Wagons springs.

I don't haul alot of **** in the wagon so I'm not too concerned about it being saggy in the back with loads.

Here's my wagon:



What do you guys think? I'm not a suspension guru so please no flaming me! The back end on the wagon is pretty light because it's not the AWD model too, please take that into consideration.

 

bump.

 

Well guys.. for those wondering what GSR springs look like on a wagon, here they are!

Turns out these GSR springs were Eibach Pro Kit's after I rubbed the dirt off them, so even better.

 

It rides quitea bit better than stock. The front is perfectly lowered! The rear is slightly higher.. I'm going to cut off a coil and post better pics soon. Anyone care to discuss?

I love this wagon so much now. Interior fabric is almost fully dyed black and CD player will be in soon. Then.. a D16 because this motor blows!

185, 25, 185, 185

Get my drift?

 

wagon looks good, i'd suggest getting rid of those 13's tho. they bring down the apprearance quite a bit. how are the spring rates on that beast, i'd imagine gsr springs would ride very smooth on a wagon, since it's almost the same weight, rather than civic springs. (damn, i wish i would have thought of that when i did mine)

 

p.s. get a daytime pick and are you going all motor or turbo?

 

Thanks for the reply! So far the ride is a little bouncy, but as for handling in smooth corners there is MUCH less roll.

I will definetely need different shocks for this setup, because I hate the bouncing on the freeways. I'll probably look into some stock Civic coupe springs, I think they'll be much better. I don't want to invest any money into this suspension stuff like aftermarket shocks..

About the rims, I am actually going to be painting them gunmetal today or tomorrow with a silver lip. The tires are brand new on these too. These springs really lowered the front end alot, so I think if I went any bigger than 13's it would scrape.. we'll see how she looks after I paint the rims and lower the rear a bit more.

Here's some pics I just took.







See how low the fronts are? They're almost tucked under! I don't mind that though.. I'm going to cut one coil off the rears today or tomorrow to even it out.

 

Also, not going to modify this car at all... I'm going to drop in a D16 and convert to MPFI. That'll be it. It's just my get-around car. My money goes towards another engine (hence my name =p )

 

I like those springs on that wagon

 

Ya, the front is so damn low the mudflaps scrape so I took them off.

The back I'm going to cut one coil off, and I have a set of 00 Civic shocks to help dampen out the bumpiness.. just need to install them soon.

 

looking good bro. Rims would make it a whole lot better too. Probably would raise the front enuff so the mudgaurds dont scrape ne more...something like 15's or 16's would do the trick.

 

do u go to lwtc????

Yep lol. Who are you? PM me.

BTW, rims are painted gunmetal now and have gorilla lugs on them so they look alot better now.

This weekend the car should be dropped nicely with the new shocks. It's coming along...

I'll sell you my mudflaps if you need them. I have no use for em...


Anyways, I sold the H22. So I think I'll be doing the b18 swap into it.


Also, I got the rear springs cut a bit and threw the 00 Civic shocks onto it. Had to modify the control arm a bit, but it is SO much better now. I'll be putting the fronts on soon.
