resetting springs is dodgey. spring rates are set to correspond with the original height of the spring.
go Eibach. kings......meh. average. they sag

go eibach or whiteline, both good springs.
would also go get a set of bilstien or eibach shocks as well for total driving pleasure, also adds longevity.

get kmac thats wat i wish i got, cos u can customize ur springs to any height, and get a 2inch drop ull regret it like it i did when i only got a 1.5 inch drop on kings

i wouldnt reset your springs, just hold on to them in case you ever go back to stock height etc. plus the spring rate is an issue.

IF" you just want to slamm it and dont really care about racing or etc etc. just get kings/ kmac springs. they arent crap.. just get some decent shocks and should fulfil the purpose you wanted for less $$$.

eibach & whiteline and etc... its more if you go abit more of the street race car. but just for show/ cosmetic/ appearance why pay extra if you dont need too.. just a waste of money i rekon... when you could use it for something else to enhance your car style appearance.

ALSO: "search" tool on this forum is a great tool alot of people over look. youll find alot of answers from this forum by using it.

Yeh noway man im not reseting the springs mate herd sum real bad horror stories bout peeps reseting/choppin their springs.

what do u recon of Kmacs/kings and koni yellows??

at the moment handling isnt a great deal but if i got this setup would it b pointless gettin a rear sway bar?

its never pointless to get a rear sway bar. they are gold
yeah kmacs and koni yellows would be a good setup. you could go better springs but as you said, you not overly concerned about handling so this would be fine

i wouldnt take them out mate, u just took it to F***n far there

poid

i had kmac's and koni yellows, they were quite good. But honestly, just get a set of coilovers to begin with and make your life easier

accordBOI you reset your springs for $200, a set of custom height Kmac's are $330. Not enough of a price difference to justify it IMO

I just posted advice relating to this in another thread

Why not to get King SUPERlow springs (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showpost.php?p=391562&postcount=10) Hope it helps you somewhat in deciding
