wat springs should i go for?

[|N|]

hi people... i ve got a 99 civic sedan ...a GLI.. and i m lookin for springs to lower and car as well as better handling... any suggestions??? :confused:

[egSi]

just get some super low king springs, simple and easily done.

[luzinit]

how low do u want to go dude?

[RedEu]

low springs doesnt equal good handling.... really depending on how low you wanna go, an how much you wanna spend.

thats right dude...if u lower abit...like 1inch or so...it should handle better, however if u just change ur springs and leave ur shocks to standard...it won't be good, if anything...you'll be very bouncy coz ur shocks ain't playing properly.(this is if u go low low) IMO

l'm using merwede springs, and they dropped me bout 1inch - 1.5 all round.
handles better than stock on corners (smooth corners) but when it comes to bump roads/bumpy corners, the car feeels abit unstable. Less body roll, but feels nervous.

my 2 cents

my car was on the kings superlows running on stock 14", handling was a lot better than standard height. But with any lowered springs it is a little more bumpy, but i had padders on my previous car and they were bumpy as, imo.

i m more like into performance dan looks...but my budget is very tight .. so just not sure wat to go for... i used to have apexi progressive spring alone with KYB damper adjustable shocks on my ex car (em1 b16a).. and i cant complain about them, but its gone with the car ages ago ... and i heard that kings r quite nasty... is that true??

i have eibach prokit on my car, they lower 35mm and i noticed quite a good improvement in handling characteristics, the ride is also pretty good, not too bumpy, as they are a progressive spring as well

[mytoycivic]

man if you want better handling go for the springs and shocks but also an anti sway bar would help. i think thats what theyre called i cant remember but i know what i am talking about....someone vouch?

[|N|]

anyone goin to sell me some nice springs??

[mytoycivic]

dont mean to be a dikc but have you checked the for sale section??? alternatively posted up in wanted to buy???????????? IMO

[geo41e]

lols mytoy

yeah.. you can also getta rear sway bar which really helps. I've got one on my EG from whiteline and it does help

[kwayzivietnamese]

I got a new set of boxed R1 Racing Sports Coilover sleeve/spring kit [allows 0-4inch drop from stock height - adjustable via 2 sleeves] that may go for sale in a week or 2 if i dont find time to fit them to my civic. Suitable for 88-00 Civics and 90-00 Integras as stated on the box.

thx everyone

[Muckafutha]

try konis with whiteline spring

sussy on da way...

[joneblaze]

I recommend you don't try setups such as "coilover sleeves", as there has been bad feedback on such products in the past. If you're on a tight budget for your EK, simply get a decent set of springs. Whiteline, Kmac, King, Spoon if you can, etc.
I believe Fried on these forums has a used set of Kmacs in good condition for sale. Should fit DC/EK/EG Hondas.

nah probably not coils atm... gettin sussy done tmr...
$180 installtion including wheel alignment ... is that a reasonable price?
