buyin aftermarket Springs

[CIV73C]

Where can i purchase aftermarket springs from for my EG??

i think i'll install them myself, so wondering wherz the best place i can just buy them from. and also what brand?

i was thinkin super lows.. but not too sure as yet..

I wwent to JAX and theytold me that SUPer LOWS are only 2" lower..
IS THIS TRUE?

[VTEC16]

Id say this should be in the lounge...

As for the best place - do you want the best price? best customer service? or the nearest retail outlet to you?

...or a bunch of subjective replies?

[CIV73C]

Yeahh. sorri. i wasnt sure if this was suppose to b here or the lounge..

but i was lookin for best price.. and also suggestion to how low to go

[A'PEXi]

some good brands are spoon, tein, eibach.... if you want some budget ones, go kings or something :D

[Toby]

Kings super lows are good value for money thats for sure, try www.kaosracing.com for some good priced Kings :wink:

here is a direct link to the suspension page http://www.kaosracing.com/suspension.html

PM Civic_Si (Hanson) on OH. He can source you Eibachs etc at a good price. This thread can stay here (if not Technical). There's no way it belongs in The Lounge. CIV73C is after springs for his Civic, so past experience from Civic owners would be relevant.

[CIV73C]

fanz guyz..

so yeah, any civic ownerz here that could help?
ive alreadi PM'd Civic_Si, but he hasnt replied..

i just measured from the bottom of the gaurd to the centre of the rimz, and its around 12".. or 30cm..
would anyone kno how much its alreadi been lowerd from those figures????

i realli wantd to find out how low its been lowerd.. coz i want to lower it another inch from wat it is..

could any one help wif this?

[joneblaze]

What springs have you currently got now? And what size wheels? Are they aftermarket? If so, what is your stock size, etc. There should be other EG owners who can give you some advice and past experience.

[CIV73C]

im not sure wat springs ive got now..
i just kno that it was alreadi lowerd whn i bought the car..

I've got 17" rims.. and rite now.. the Rear gaurd is just on top of the tyres.. the Front gaurds are bout 1" about the tyres..
and i want to drop it another inch..
but i want to kno low my car has alreadi been lowered.. so i can just tell the store exactli wat i want.. example.. 2.5".. or 3"..

[CIV73C]

SOo. does anyone here hava stock EG Civic??????

CRAZY

[CIV73C]

YEhah im plannin to do them myself as well..

ML: do u mind measuring the distance from the gaurd to the ground, if u get a chance??.. if u hav the super lowz??
also, tell me which corner u measured too..
hopefulli. the gaurds for the sedans and hatches are the same

[Toby]

hopefulli. the gaurds for the sedans and hatches are the same

dude i got my springs from allsprings in moorebank, they sell JUMBOZ springs they are $250 for 4 and will do any height, i asked them to make them extra firm also to avoid scrubbage with my 18s

i have mates that have superlows and i rekn they are too soft, plus u dont know exactly how much they are lowered. i enquired about getting superlows at ozzytyres for my car and i asked them how low they are and they said "roughly between 2.5 inches and 3.5 inches"

maybe call them and ask them, they might be cheaper for an EG

[CIV73C]

are JUMBO springs anygood?.. do they compare to King sPrings?????
heyy.. can someone giv me a address or number for that place in Moorebank??

[CIV73C]

hey .. i just realised. measuring from the gaurd to ground might not work??????????????

coz i had 15"rimz b4... which had my car bout 10-12cm off the ground..
after putting my 17" rimz.. it has raised the car about an inch..

soo.. measuring to the ground wont help.. ??.. i dont think?
is that rite?

[nobbs]

allsprings is on heathcote road in morebank, if u get onto heathcote road from newbridge road its about 500 metres on your left, its a big green building and has a big sign out the front

personally i think jumboz are better than king springs as the ride is firmer, like i said before i have a few mates with king springs on their cars and i have never like the ride on them...i think that the firmer ride feels better when going around corners as well

if u want a second opinion about JUMBOZ just ask steve (MRPLOW), i think he has them on his car also...

[Muckafutha]

kings super lows are so short i dun tink u need spring clamps. u only need to compress the stock springs to put back the strut cap. i tink...

[egSi]

buy some cheap low spring like kingies.
and then shorten them :wink:

[CIV73C]

buy some cheap low spring like kingies.
and then shorten them :wink:

shorten them??. u mean cuttn them?

[mo]

just leave it stock.

[CIV73C]

Can any one here tell me where boutz in Syd i can purchase KIng Springs from??

[mo]

omg!

[CIV73C]

watt mo???

i just went to some place.. and they askd for $315 for a pair of springs...

[CIV73C]

Heyy pplz..

i just went to JAX to ask if they can lower my car..
n they said that my car alreadi has super lowz on it..
they also said that super lows is a 2" drop... is this true???????????

[ML]

57cm front drivers side
59cm rear drivers side
20cm from bottom of door

thats on 15s goin to 17s in a few weeks

[CIV73C]

ML: thanks heaps for ur time to get the measurements for me..
so do u kno how low ur springs are?? is that 2"??

rite now.. im on 17". and its about 60cm from the gaurd to the ground..
and i want to lower it another inch.. so i sorta need to know how low mineis now

[nobbs]

dude i think the best thing to do is find someone with an eg that is as low as you want yours to be and ask them how low they have gone...

that is one thing that i dont like about king springs, you will never get an accurate answer as to how low "superlows" are...just go to all springs and get them to make them the height u want, they wont cost u more than $250 for all 4 springs...

if jax said that ur car already has superlows and its a 2 inch drop, then go and get some 3inch lowered springs and then u will have that 1 inch extra drop that you want...

[CIV73C]

yeahh.. i calld up All Springs like u said..

they gav me a price of 390 for all 4 springs.....!??!?!?!.. y soo much more exp??

[nobbs]

ahh sorry dude, i just remembered that i got them for trade price through my mate

umm if u want i can ask him to call tomoro, he might be able to get them cheaper

[CIV73C]

YEahh do u mind???
if it aint any hassles?.

just wanna c if they're rippin me off or not?

[nobbs]

yeah ill get him to call if i remember

maybe their prices went up also....

[egSi]

buy some cheap low spring like kingies.
and then shorten them :wink:

shorten them??. u mean cuttn them?

well i got some 1" drop STIFF and i mean stiff springs thru underground and they cost like $280 and im turnin them into like 2" drop.
im rollin on 15s and i cant afford 2grand for coilovers. :?

i prefer to say shorten but yeah im cuttin them at the moment.

[CIV73C]

FAnx for the suggestion.
but i think i'l just buy the proper springs tht i want..

[nobbs]

dude i called allsprings today and they said that the price they gave u for $390 was for supplying and fitting the springs to your car

just to supply them they are $128 a pair ($256 for all 4), thats the retail price, u just order them and they are ready the next day for u to pick up...

[CIV73C]

Oo ok

yeah.. sorri bout the misunderstanding then

fanx heaps for that

[CIV73C]

I just calld up Autobarn for a price for the Kingspring Superlow...
they quoted $280..

is this a good price?..
where else can i get it cheaper?

[luzinit]

dont wanna sound like a dick or nothin dude.. but..try the obvious -
call around urself, and see if it is a good price, just call like 5-10 sussy places in like 30mins and u'll see whats a good deal and whats not..
