I'd like to get rid of the nasty wheel gap on my car and also have it handle better. Im not looking to get coilovers so i figured that I'd just get springs. I've looked around and found a few that I like. What i want to know is which would be better for daily driving and minimizing the wheel gap. The ones to choose from are the Eibach Pro-kit springs(1.0-1.5), Neuspeed Sport springs(f/1.75 r/1.5), and Progress springs(f/1.5 r/1.5). If there are better choices please let me know. Also would any of these make the tires rub? i have 215/45/17. Thanks

 

i just bought the neuspeed sport springs and i like them alot. they ride very well. just stay away from the neuspeed race springs because whenever i had them on my wheels would rub and ive got 205-45-16

 

i currently have TEIN S-tech springs 1.5F and 1.3R and i love them. They ride extrememly well with better stability.

good luck

 

i have the neuspeed race springs on the stock 205-55-15 and they dont rub, u will be sittin low low! go with sport sport springs

 

I have the Eibach springs you mention with 215/35/18 and it's just enough to not rub...ever

 

id say go with the eibachs on a 5th gen, its what i got on my 98 sh. Awesome for daily driving. Not friggin slammed in the dirt.

 

Eibach/GC + KONI =

 

I just put GC's (380F/300R) and Tokico Illuminas on my 5th Gen, love it.

 

thanks for all the replies. Im probably going to ge the Eibach pro kit sometime this week. More people have been telling me that the Eibach springs would be best. Now, is it mandatory to get new shocks when buying new springs even if the drop isnt significant?

 

I cut my stocks and they ride exactly like stock. I love it, cept for the front camber a little..but you get that with any springs

 

H&R Sports... I love them to death. Perfect drop.

 

Custom.

That way you have the drop you want, and the spring rate you want.

Why don't you want coil overs? Too expensive? But the height adjustability is soooo convenient.

I use Skunk2 coilover sleeves (pretty damn cheap and good quality) and Tokico 5 way adjustable shocks (set to 5-stiffest in front and 3 in the rear)

I have to admit, coil overs tend to get kinda bouncy so I got the adjustable shocks. They helped a lot but was still kinda bouncy because the Prelude is so heavy.

I installed the Tanabe 30.4mm front and the 25.4mm rear sway bars. Thought they'd make the car way to stiff but I was totally surprised.

The car rides perfectly now and I can adjust the height to whatever I need because I run on 16's and cruise on 18's. I don't like my car to feel as stiff as a race car and I definitely don't like it to be bouncy. It feels controlled and well dampened now kinda like an expensive sports car.

 

Get shocks if you don't want a bouncy ride.

 

I have the ghetto aerospeed coilovers they work great for me they and there not to bouncey sometimes a lil stiff but if your slammed with a body kit its the way to go. just my .02 cents

 

i think you should go with EIBACH PRO KIT.
because the right comfort is great and its just enough to take away that gap.
i ride on 205/55/r16 and it looks nice and it wont hit every ditch.
but you should concider in maximizing your suspension by getting some koni sport (yellow) there great shocks.

 

also would i need a camber kit? i know that after i lower it i would need to get an alignment but since the drop isnt that much for the Eibach Pro kit(1.0/1.5) would it be necessary?
