Whats a better spring

[myslowcb7]

so i am looking of people who have used the neuspeed race springs and/or the Skunk2 springs what are your thoughts which is a better handling spring and how hardh is the ride
thanks

The spring is only part of the equation when it comes to ride quality. You'll need to match them to shocks that will handle both the drop and the spring rate. You'll need to ensure all suspension bushings are in good condition. What wheels and tires you have on your car will be a factor as well.

Generally, whichever spring has a higher spring rate will offer a harsher ride.



"better" depends on what you intend to do with the car. Personally, I'd go with the softer spring for a street car. If it's not seeing track time, why put anything made for a track on it? That can be dangerous and uncomfortable.









What happened to the D2 plans?

well the thing is i have alot on my mind and i use working on my car as a destration so i go back and forth but the thing is i dont think i will be racing it enough to justify a coil over set up and it seams like a alot of people are using lowering springs i was just felling it out to see what works and what does not but it between the d2s and koni yellow with ether the skunk2s or neuspeed race

WOW that was less then help full but it did entertain me for a minute. thanks

That really made no sense to me because you didnt bother using any punctuation.In the future atleast try to make it easy for someone to read, and understand or youre not going to get much help.If you want to know what is right for you then figure out the spring rates, and determine what suits your needs.Personally i dont like skunk2 products for our cars because skunk2 never really does anything with accords they are more of a civic and integra company.

That gave me quite the head ache my friend.

I have to agree with the above statement as alot will contribute to how well your suspension works... ride quality is something that will change from person to person... if you want a softer ride, then go after parts that will offer that... if you want a more trackable setup then go that route... just make sure that the maintance is done first... a full poly bushing kit is always good as most of the stock bushings will be either destroyed or needing replacement... your rim size and tire choice will also really impact the feel of your ride... if you are going to just slam it on springs, I'd say wait and hold off till you can afford a proper setup... either way, best of luck man...

WOW, that gave me headache just trying to read it. OP there is a thread on here that talks about skunk 2 springs versus a couple other brands. I will try to find it for you. But my .02 I purchased Neuspeed race just because of the reviews I read about them.

[myslowcb7]

thanks guys! deev keeps preachen softer spring rate to me and stay away from "race" parts. the skunk2 have a drop and spring rates between the neuspeed race and sport. this would make me think the neuspeed would be a harsher ride with marganal gain in handlingover the softer skunk2 springs

Do more research. Megans are constant rate, Neuspeed is progressive.

Yep, meant Skunk2, sorry. I'd be willing to bet the Neuspeed race give a better ride than the skunk2 even though the effective spring rate is higher.....that's just speaking from reading tons of threads over the years of cb7 owners complaining of a harsh ride with the skunk2's. Haven't heard many, if any, complaints on the neuspeed race. That being said, the race springs are still too stiff IMO for normal street dd.....go for the neuspeed or h&r sports (same spring essentially).
