Looking to replace the sleeved coilover set up with the Illuminas that I have.


Any recommendations for sleeved coilover? Neuspeed? Skunk? Tein? Eibach springs?

I currently have a 2 finger gap all the way around would mind going a little bit lower. Not trying to tuck.

I run ground controls with illuminas on my integra and i love it. Ive had them for two years with no complaints

Cool thanks forgot about ground controls.

Anyone else? Forgot to mention this is a daily driver and dont want too stiff of a ride either.

You can custom order different spring rates. I think that the off-the-shelf rates would be good for you though because they are pretty soft. Just call them up for more info. Their customer service is

I have the H&R springs match them with the race springs from them that will be a nice drop with those shocks.

i have the illuminas with skunk 2 coilovers, the ride is pretty bouncy but its not horrible, i like them.

my set up is with h&r race springs on setting 4 in the front and 4 in the rear and i drive in nyc. its a pretty comfortable ride for me. and great handling

i've had those shocks with OmniPower Sleeve coilovers, and that was my favorite setup with those shocks. but i wouldnt pass on a good deal on some H&R Race springs either. i had that before the coils, and they were awesome, too!

I know this is a OLD thread but I have the same problem. I know people out there have illumina set-ups, so if you dont mind post the setup and the ride quality. it will help a lot to people like me and many more

Kudos on searching! too bad its a 3 year old thread.

anyways i have illuminas, with 450f 400 r ground controls, tucking tire in front, and 1 finger rear (dc2). i have never bottomed out, but its a little harsh. not bumpy at all, just stiff. i plan on raising my car a bit to see how it works out then.

whatever spring rates you get, im sure you could find someone to trade with if you end up not liking them.

I'm going to be running the Illuminas with some Skunk2 sleeves...

It's suposed to be a trackday car, so I hope it work well.


any new infos on this?

I had illumina with eibach lowering springs for civic(I got gsr in my eg which is heavier and thats why the tires tucked and its sucked) SO I got some adjustable sleaves and put them on the lowest setting and put on the sportline springs. Its up past the tire a rides much better.
I will post pictures later

danielblushtein

the combination of adustable and lowering springs HAHA works good more stiff than bouncy and no tucking fenders

You do understand that running a non-flat seat spring on a flat perch will eventually fatigue the spring and allow it to fail, right?

The correct type of spring is on the right (ground flat end):

I'm running OTS rates on GC sleeves with my tokico struts 5 in the front, 3 in the the rear. 95 VX civic. BTW get some extended top hats if your gonna lower it any amount at all.

i had progress springs 320 front, 240 rear and i ran it at 4 and 3 on the illuminas. handled like no other was just to low for my tires and i rubbed so i switced to sportlines and the eibach pro dampers which are 310/275 and the ride is WAY better. I have yet to really test this handling because its actually lower in the rear now for some reason so i have to roll my fenders but i love it so far.

danielblushtein

Yea I know the right spring but that is cheap ebay spring and its crappy. If it fails, that might be way later after I sell the car. I dont think it will fail soon. It might but I think later.

Tyson

theyre labeled as EIBACH sportlines. i wouldnt call them cheap.

im not gonna argue with what you did. but perhaps you did it on the wrong end of the spring.... ill leave it at that.

yeah looks like retard has the spring upside down

danielblushtein

no no the little adjustable springs are cheap ebay

Tyson

ah ok.

btw, im not saying its the "spring" thats upside down.... da9, fail.

TunerN00b

Heh, yeah. The top of the spring also need to be flat, due to how the upper mount is shaped.

So, standard spring perch, flat spring top seat, tapered lower seat. Flat adjustable spring perch, flat at both ends.

The threaded sleeve looks like it might be installed incorrectly to me...
