question about springs?
 

ok i want to lower my car like 2.5 inches its a 95 4dr and my girlfriend has some eibach pro kit springs for a 2000 dx will they work??
if not does anyone know of a good brand spring to use, eibach is a little too expensive if my girls wont work. like would the shitty coilovers from pepboys do the job or is it like most things u get what u pay for??

Re: question about springs?
 

does anyone have any idea? i know it says for applications they have 96-00 and theres a seperate set of springs for 92-95 but is that just because the ride height might change since they have different chassis or is it because they wont work?

Re: question about springs?
 

well i've put 6th gen front struts into a 5th gen. Most of the suspension components apprear to be the same, i'm willing to bet though that some slight measurements might be different. (or possible the differences between the springs is height, or spring rate). I do know that you can put dc2 springs into a 6th gen civic. So i'd just give it a shot, if it doesn't fit you can always throw you stock ---- back in and figure out a different way.

Re: question about springs?
 

yea i think i will try and if they dont work ill just buy a set while it is apart. sounds good thanx for the knowledge

Re: question about springs?
 

they are not the same, sorry. might work, but they arent the same.

I just got a set of H&R race springs for $150 from kingmotorsports.com great deal.

Re: question about springs?
 

Regardless of what brand they are labelled, 95% of the coil springs made in the world come from either Eibach or Carerra, IIRC - there were only two manufacturers in the world.

The problem with cheap coilovers is not the spring, which is generally fine, it is with the assfuck threaded collar that splits and is funky and doesn't fit right in the first place.

You ever hear of Goldline springs? They are a good quality spring that will over-lower your car so it doesn't handle correctly, and will ride excessivley bumpy when combined with the cheapest struts available which are not meant for the Goldline's stiffness or ride height. This should acheive the effect I ASSume you are going for, based on all your comments.

JD, don't forget H&R.......

Re: question about springs?
 

nah im not goin for an overly lowered car just somthing that will help handling a little and make it look good i just think the stock height is a little high for me that's all, im planning on getting those same springs that u got from kingmotorsports for my car sounds like a good deal to me! thanx for the link

Re: question about springs?
 

Then lower it to Si ride height, or at most 1/4" below stock Si height. Anything lower hurts handling... lower CG is nice and all, but not when the suspension's dynamic casotr/camber/toe becomes ------- retarded.

awesome, i got quoted in someones sig, sweet.

oh, and by the way........ not going to turn this into an arguement, but caster is spelt wrong, HAHA

Re: question about springs?
 

Funny, because dictionary entries of caster and castor are listed as synonyms of each other. You are aware of the seven different correct variants of "carberetter," aren't you? Or that I took the WAIS-R at 14, and scored near perfect on vocabulary? WTF does "frente" mean, and why can't I find a definition of it anywhere? Someone somewhere is bullshitting.

Hey, work on your grammar for me, huh? ::)

Re: question about springs?
 

like i said, no arguement from me this time. just wanted to say love the new sig.

Re: question about springs?
 

It's not the best I've sported, but it'll do until I get bored.

Re: question about springs?
 

i can make you a better one if you wish. sure as hell beats the ---- out of being nice to you stupid bastards.

Re: question about springs?
 

Haha, go for it. :y

Re: question about springs?
 

i gotta find some dumb ass post with a shitload of misinformation in it, much like the D15b2 powa thread.

Re: question about springs?
 

Any post by username "Stealthmode" made outside of General Discussion should fit the bill.

Re: question about springs?
 

nice, i shall search for such threads by steve. i find it interesting to argue with people over the internet, but fear that one day i might get beat up because of my loud mouth, so either i am too stupid to care, or too big to worry. by the way, i weigh a whopping 140lbs. ::)

oh, and im not really gonna start any arguements w/ steve.

Re: question about springs?

Re: question about springs?
