not much point in getting them from the states unless desperate, i don't want to pay more money for the shipping than the actual springs :) might look at lovells or something or whiteline. however i have found the importer for neuspeed in australia
topspec produce p/l
enfield, nsw
ph 0416 800 292

maybe if enough of us ring they might rush an order into australia, if they don't have already.

king springs now have springs available for the 06 civic. the neuspeed are $670.00 in australia :( now from what i hear is that the aussie spring's are as good as if not better than some of the japanese/ euro springs, wich is a positive thing to hear cause the aussie stuff is alot better price wise.

i'm also trying to find out weather or not the 06 civic has the same springs as the 05.

well now that i have done more research into this it seem the 05 & 06 are not the same.

& king springs now realise that they do not have any to suit 8th gen yet either :( despite the bloke thinking they did (not a king springs rep)

also tein have nothing as yet for the sedan, only the coupe (us) so nuespeed are the only ones at this stage who have springs to suit.

so need help making up my mind here, should i go with nuespeed or wait?

Wait dude, King will release something soon enough, and I'm sure others will become more available.

Besides, doesn't it affect your warranty?? I know that if I ever bought a brand new car, I wouldn't touch it for at least a year or two...

yes it does affect your warranty on that part of the car, but just by putting aftermarket wheels on your car voids your warranty :confused: honda explained that in the case of aftermarket wheels it would void warranty on suspension & steering regardless of what size the wheel may be. so i figure that if that's the case why not do suspension as well.

personally i think it's a load of rot & have never heard of such a thing with any other manufacturer.

yer but if you do your suspension...it may void your whole car warranty or any bumper damage....or somethinglike that....just a thought

king springs are really good quality but their on the concervative side in terms of spring rates.......

The feel of the stock suspension is well matched and works quite well with the steering, i'd think twice about changing them unless theres decent amount of R&D into the springs to suite the civic-sport.

Theres seriously minimal understeer in the sport at high speeds. Only if you push it very hard around a 90+ degree bend do you get understeer. Which to be honest really suprised me. Come'n from a guy who tracks his cars.

I'd be interested in a rear swap bar soon though.
