its really an unfair question seeing that most springs (alone) cost around 250 bucks and most coils are 900

but for the suggestion stated above, its the absolute truth

 

I like springs. Well, I prefer them because for some reason there is just less clang and clack. Nawm sayin? haha

In terms of the 02-06 RSX, this is correct the majority of the time.

Most comfortable ride will be the lowering spring that lowers the least on a set of oem shocks or upgraded shocks. Look for a spring that lowers about 1"-1.25".

i personally have Tein SS Coilovers.. i don't experience those cling, clunks or whatever.. very comfortable better then stock. and of course my handling improved.

its a free package from the dealership if you purchase an rsx

 

hey wat bout those coilovers that are just an adjustable spring? can you use that kind of coilover with stock shocks?

 

you can use the ground control coilovers with stock shocks, but you will NEED to replace your stock shocks soon enough or thell blow

 

I am using Megan Racing (-50 mm ) springs on stock shocks, sporty but comfy ride!

 

yeah, a buddy of mine wants to get lowering springs for his car. Any of you guys out there have any good suggestions? Hes looking at the tein S.tech

 

My opinion, is do what I did get a Mugen Coilover suspension.

I love it and it's great for DD.

 

wuts ur guys opinion on eibach sport-line lowering springs??

 

i love em
a little harsh on the bumps but the drop is perfect

MR krew holla!!

 

does anyone know how reliable stock struts are with aftermarket springs? (i guess tein or comptech springs)

 

Keep in mind the stock shocks/struts are suited for the stock springs.

Changing the spring rate... and you will be underdamped and bouncy. Coilover sleeves + koni yellows is such a cheap efficient way to go....

Did you have to cut a bit off the bump stops when you installed your Sport Lines?

road conditions, driving habits, and how aggressive the drop is can determine (for the most part) the life of your stock struts

but i remember where to cut it from my last spring installation
they (progress) did come with a diagram of where to cut

 

So did you just cut them in half? If not how man, how many inches from the bottom?

 

from what i remember its not exactly in half
you might want to search "diy springs" on crsx
i'm sure it will show you pics

 

cool, i'll look into it.
