H & R springs

[totaldoughnut]

When I bought my 92ex it was already lowered. I was always amazed at how well it rode being so low. Im getting ready to replace my rotors and pads soon and probably struts, the front ones are leaking a little. While inspecting I wiped off the front springs and noticed that they are H&R. Are these good springs?

[black sunshine]

yea, hr's are pretty good,had them on my old cb.

Ill probably just clean these springs up and install new struts then. I like the ride and current height. I was just curious if they were some ebay springs that I should change out while its apart.

I have H&R race springs with tokiko Illumina struts and the ride is great. I love my setup.

The guy who runs the site is on H&R Springs. His second set of them (went from Sport to Race)

[PUMASTi]

If The Architect himself has those springs then you know they are good. Now you just need a proper set of struts to go with those.

I wonder what kinda struts The Architect has?

[deevergote]

Koni Yellows, of course.

same exact setup
its a little squeaky here and there
but oh well

koni's are defenetly the way to go though

Yeah, whats up with the squeeks, mine does it sometimes. I was thinking bushing squeek, it seems to do it when its cold. I also hear some clunking going on when driving on bumoy roads, smooth on the highway. I think my upper control arm is hitting. When I noticed my front stryt leaking I checked the end of my upper control arm and cam see a polished area on the end of it. What do a set of those Konis go for? What would be the bang for the buck in struts?

koni yellows with adjustable perches, probably anywhere from 350-450

and yes
ask most people on here and koni will be the first name to be mentioned

edit: if your car has lowering springs
and oem struts
they are going to squeak
until one blows
and you put your car into a guardrail
lol
time to upgrade

[totaldoughnut]

Thanks, after I get my brakes squared away struts will be next. The konis may be a little bit steep for me right now. Im not a kid on fastfood wages I make good money as a diesel mechanic. But the damn $1000 a month child support I have to pay cuts into my toy expenses a bit. What strut would give a good ride on a budget. Im not looking for full race, just something better than the oem leakys I have now.

[deevergote]

I picked up mine used. They have a lifetime warranty, so I can just send em back to Koni to be rebuilt or replaced when they die

[totaldoughnut]

Ill have to keep a lookout from some of those used also. If you dont mind me asking what did you pay for them.

[deevergote]

I think I paid $340 or something for the springs and struts... but that was also picked up, from a friend. I've known them to go cheaper, and I've known them to go for more. I knew these were in good shape, so they were worth at least what I paid... Though the Konis are leaking now (still work fine, but they'll go soon enough...)

[totaldoughnut]

That sounds like a good deal, ill be looking for some. Hopefully the upgraded struts help to keep my upper control arm from banging around on rough roads.
