best lowering spring for under $100

[jaymausantos]

do you guys know or have any suggestions on what's the best lowering spring for under $100. on ebay... there's jdm springs (1.5 frnt/1,5rear.Spring rate: 230 LBS front / 140 LBS rear.) for $70. m2 performance(2.0frnt/2.0rear) for $89. speed daddy (2.o frnt/1.75rear. Spring Rate: Front - 280 lbs/in, and Rear - 250 lbs/in) for $89, dna motoring (1.75frnt/1.5rear.Spring Rate:450" Front and 250" Rear) for $70. bolt-on (Frnt 2" and Rear 1.75"
Spring Rate: Front - 280 lbs/in, and Rear - 250 lbs/in) for $88. generic (1.25" Front + 1.25" Rear
Spring Rate: 280F & 250R ) for $47. jdm (Front -2.1" / Rear -1.7") for $60.

Is the spring rate important? i see they have different brands has different rate for front & back. I just use my car to and from work and on weekend sometimes i take my kids (3kids years below) out. So are these aprings ok or should i get a more expensive one? thanks in advance!

save up another 100 and get neuspeed or eibach. anything else is inferior.

Nothing for 100$ is worth it. Do a little more research

This has been covered at LEAST a dozen times

Anything under 100 dollars will be complete crap quality to be honest. With that being said, you are much better off saving up th proper funds and getting quality parts.

I hope your NOT planning on adding lowering springs to stock (or stock replacement) shocks, otherwise your going to have to tear everything apart after the stock shocks fail due to the drop. Do it once and do it right.

Head over to the suspension section and start reading the stickies at the top of the section.

To find a safe suspension setup (shocks and springs) for under $300-400, is going to be difficult.

So save up just a little bit longer, and get something safe, as I doubt you want anything to happen to you, or your kids because something cheap you bought broke, and caused the car to lose control.

wow! thanks for the tip!!! i'll just save up then and get a decent one. If i do get the neuspeed which is about $200 and/or the eibach which is about $220... do i need to replace anything else? i don't race nor speed... just want it for the looks. I always drull looking at your cb7's. So basically i just want my car to look better but also safe at the same time.. so no more under $100 springs!!! Again.. thanks for all the tips you guys are giving!!!

[jaymausantos]

btw when you said "suspension section" where do i find that? is it under "beginner appearance?" i'm really sorry i am new here but love this site... I am learning a lot from you guys!!!

D2 racing springs are like 130 i think if you can find them. I had them on my coupe. Rode nice

Hope this helps. Just browse thru that and it will help many of the questions that might brew up while your learning. http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=158531

I believe Neuspeed are a good start matched to a good set of Koni yellows struts DO NOT USE factory struts because they arent meant for lowering springs and it will be an unsafe ride and can cause serious damage to you and the car if an accident would to happen.

And as in your question about where the Suspension FAQ here it is. http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=158532

When you're asking about budget suspension, I'm not even going to acknowledge it with an answer.

If you can muster up about $400-500, maybe consider going with koni str.t's and neuspeed sport springs. But before you go throwing money down on it, you should really inspect all your rubber suspension components, and consider replacing all of them at the same time.

WTF is a jdm racing spring?

I know of japanese suspension makers, but nothing called jdm.

Also D2 is still available for around $120, but honestly you're going to need shocks koni str.t's are the best bang for your buck. Just like cloud said your bushings probably need replacing aswell.
Spring wise i love my eibachs wouldn't switch them out for nothing else.

D2 is shit. Plain and simple. Everything they make is low quality.

Anything that costs less than $200 or so brand new is crap. Better to buy used quality than new crap.

And STR.T won't hold much more than 2" drop.

This statement is true. If you are on a budget, check local classifieds and forums for used good quality springs. However, make sure they are still in good condition.
