Please help me choosing springs for my car.
 
Hello all!
I want to know witch set of springs would be the way to go.
I want a very looking car, I do a little bit of racing to, but I don’t want to lower my car to much cuz that would involve me in camber kits a lot of that stuff.
Basically I want a set of (Plug And Play) springs, I want to install them, and have a nice ride and a very looking car...

Witch Brand do u recommend me? I don’t want to spend more than $200

Eibach <>$175
COSMO Racing Adjustable Coil Over Kit <>$150
MaxSpeed <> $100
Shogun Gen 2 <>$70
Generics <>$70

Thanks.

PS. I have a Prelude 1993 SI and those are prices fron Ebay.

eibach hands down

eibachs prokits but with the age of your car you might need a camber kit.

Any other spring recomendations? Any body have used maxspeed, or some generic? Remember that I have the original shocks.
And how would I know after installing the springs, if I would need camber kits?

Thanks for the answers!

just take the car to an alignament shop and have it aligned they can tell you if the camber is way out of specs, and they woul reccomend a camber kit.

Get the Eibachs out of those listed. Nice quality springs. Don't mess around with junk or generics!

Oki thanks....

I'm actually using dropzone coilovers, except for the massive bounce (only on crappy roads), I like them very much! A good set of dampners like tokico struts would be a pretty good combo. No squeak either... Did i mention they were uber cheap?

ChrisCantSkate 12-16-2002 07:12 PM

see i hate super bounce. i have ground control coilovers.. may be the most expensive coilover sleeve e market, but i'd say every bit worth the price. i dont bouce like crazy. its very firm. rides nice too

The problem is that in my country there is ALWAYS bumps on the road, 50% of our roads are nice (1 or 2 bumps every block) the other 50% are very bad (Many bumps!), and holes and everything!

Guatemala! Honda Styling from around the world :) thats so sweet. What kind of tires are you using? too low profile, and 1 pothold could **** over your rims.

Haha, nevermind, I see you listed the type of tires you had.

Nice choice.

ChrisCantSkate: We'll see how the ride quality turns out with a good set of struts.

thats the old civic I had before... What I have now is:

with the eibachs yr also going to improve handlng, since they match a spring rate to your car, not just a lower spring with a real stiff rate. not many companys springs improve handling.

I have H&R sports, my friend has Eibach sportlines. My car is far less harsh. Then again, the Eibach's lower the car more. I'm happy with my H&Rs.
