Best Performing Lowering Springs for CB7?

[91lxf22a1]

I'm looking into buying some lowering springs for my 91 lx because i want to start racing auto-x. What are your opinions as far as best performing springs. I'm not picky about how much it drops i just want performance. There are a lot of choices out there and i would like some opinions. Thanks.

Koni Yellow shocks matched with Neuspeed Race springs or Ground Control coilover sleeves.

What other parts will i need for aligning it?

camber kit....ingalls or SPC is the only thing you should use for a camber kit. And I love my H&Rs on KYB AGX adjustables.

If you really want to get into it, give Eibach a call and get some custom made springs. If all you care about is performance, you'll want a stiffer spring rate obviously.

Alot of springs made for the cb7 are significantly stiffer in the front. Neuspeed race springs are 485F, 300R

Some springs are much more of a difference. I think Eibach sportlines are around 400-450F, and like 175R...I could be wrong on those numbers, but I do know they are alot stiffer in front in relation to the rear compared to the Neuspeeds.

My point is, research spring rates and find a stiff spring set, but also get a set that provides a stiffer rear, because that will get rid of some understeer which is what you want in autox.

I would do the mentioned ground control/koni yellow combo with rates in the neighborhood of 500F, 350-400R just to keep it bearable on the street too.

Yes, I'll agree and vouch for this setup. It's so very stiff riding with these springs and shocks. The really nice thing is that they are adjustable so if you just had one of those days spend 45 seconds before you drive off and lower the stiffness a bit.

I'd give them full marks.

Silly putty soft. Like 336/224 F/R if I recall. U can only go up another 50#/in. Konis or Bilsteins. (Or Penskes)

if aint worried about price i recomend what i run kyb agx adjustables
ground control springs and and coilover sleeves and for camber i'de say skunk 2 works awsome on my car its not bouncy nor too stiff but smooth "makes everyone fall asleep n my shit" really comfortable tho u can lower it up to 2 1/2 inches n no bounce still rides reall really smooth

If price isn't an issue, why would someone get the AGXs over Koni Yellows?

They're pretty stiff, but I think the OP is looking for a spring/shock combo.

thats true but the konis are 550 and the neuspeed springs are 170 that 720 that not much less than the whole package with height adjustment. plus you won't have to take ur spring and shock assembly apart to get the top hat because it comes with upper pillow ball mounts

Neuspeed sells a package w/Konis for $600+ shipping
