Lowered with Stock ride Quality.

[bruno8747]

I am looking for some lowering springs and I Am looking for a mild drop. Max would probably be 2". And I want the stock ride quality, or something very similar to it.

So far I have been looking at the Tein 2.1" but I dont know the ride quailty of them.

Also My friend told me that progress springs are very good, are they worth it?

And well money is a problem too, Not looking to spend a ton on springs either.

thanks

i have the teins you are talkin about they are very good ride i was surprised someone else jus got them to you have to ask them i forgot who it was but you can look at my car and judge. but the ride is good even on oem shocks

[bruno8747]

How's the ride compared to the stock ride quailty? Same or More bumpy?
And you have OEM honda struts or GR-2's?

[FuncOvrForm]

close to stock you can jus feel the road a lil more i have oem honda struts

Neuspeed Sports. $149 + shipping from most places. You can reuse your stock struts if they are good, or upgrade to a set of Tockico Blues if they are not.

That will result in a 1.8" drop front, a 1.7" drop rear, and will ride BETTER than stock.

Better than stock?
Ok Ill consider that, What about the camber kit? I assume if you dont lower below 2" you are safe without a camber kit rite?

yea you can do it i got mine aligned right after and im neg 1 degree but he toed it so it kinda makes it wear tires slower im gettin a kit soon

i was told the same thing..and this is what I get 10k miles later

that reminds me of what i saw yesterday

and old ass cehvy that was slammed in the front and ade bad camber wear obviously..i thought he did, at least, from what i saw from the sparkes he was throwing from the belt stickin out of the inner sides of the tires

i've got Eibach sportlines with Tokico illumina adjustables. I love them, you do feel the road a little bit more but nothing serious. And you can adjust the illuminas from soft to hard, on the softest setting i find it to be pretty close to stock quality.

same thing what they told me too..

am on tein s techies on oem shocks, ride is a bit bouncy but i like how it feels..kinda like oem ride..

the springs give a good stance, its been almost two weeks and i have 1.5 finger gap in the rear and 2 finger gap in the front

i have the same setup. 4 in the front, and 3 in the rear. take those freeway ramps at 80 or 90..

lemme guess, you got it aligned like 2 weeks after you got the springs installed??
yeah, it'll take alot longer than that for springs to totally settle. i had mine aligned out as well, about 2 weeks later, and now my camber is about -1.5 or so in front. only like 0.2 better than it was.

Yes, BETTER than stock.

I have Neuspeed Sports with Tockico Illuminas. Setting 1 is a little too floaty, and setting 2 is just a bit firmer than stock.

The Tockico Blues will be just perfect with those, but I wanted the adjustability.

You really need to have your car aligned when you lower it. Ask for the spec to be printed out when you have it done, and that should tell you whether or not you need a camber kit.

I have almost 3 degrees negative camber in front and will be getting one. With -1 to -1.5 degrees, you probably won't notice too much wear, but you may still want to consider a camber kit.

Do not skimp on a quality kit. With any suspension component you are playing with your life, and the good kits are reasonable.

I would recommend Ingalls adjustable upper ball joints for the front, and probably one of their shim kits for the rear. You can get the adjustable upper control arms for the rear, if you really want, but since your ride height won't be changing, your alignment shouldn't be either.

The reason I recommend the upper ball joints in front is because they have very little effect on overall geometry, and the anchor bolt kits are know to hit the frame rail because they make the control arm longer.

mine are 3 in the front and 5 in the rear. i got lazy lazy when tryin to get to the back so i'm leavin them at 5 and probably changing the front to 4. it's kinda stiff but i don't mind it.
