Springs EK and EG

[kairi_k]

hi guys just a quick question

Will after market EK SUPER LOW Springs fit onto a 95 EG hatch?

cheers.

[magicmike]

Yes the will

[|nick|]

if you want to double check, you can go on to manufacturers websites (ie king springs) and cross check part numbers for eg and ek springs.

i know king springs and many others use the same springs for eg/ek and hence dc :thumbsup:

yeh i used aftermarket springs meant for a ek on my eg.

[kairi_k]

cheers...i thought they would fit? how about dc2 springs r they the same too?

thanks

[d15z1SUX]

yeh those should be the same too. or they will fit at least.

[magicmike]

Most aftermarket springs are interchangeable between DC/EG/EK

They will just have different spring rates :thumbsup:

[kairi_k]

spring rates? should i be worried if fitting aftermarket springs for ek/dc2 on to my eg?

or is it common to ppl to do this setup?

[tRipitaka]

just a stiffer setup.. nothing to worry about..

Hi I found out from a mate of mine that the front springs of an eg and ek are of a different size. were the brand of spring you guys purchased both King


YEAR MAKE & MODEL----------------FRONT-------------------------REAR
11/91-4/95 CIVIC EG EH S/LOW B----KHFL-58ASL B-------------------KHRL-59SL
6/92-6/98 CRX EG S/LOW B----------KHFL-58ASL B------------------KHRL-59SL

7/93-8/01 INTEGRA DC S/LOW B-----KHFL-58A B--------------------KHRL-59
10/95-7/00 CIVIC EJ EK S/LOW B----KHFL-58A B---------------------KHRL-59

Wanted to get a 2nd opinion to know if the difference lie in the spring rates or the sizes?
I really want to purchase this set of ek springs for my eg......my current springs are cut...causing massive camber wear (not sure bt spelling) and snail speed humps/slamming my cat on humps....
andyes.. i wanna save $$:p

[krogoth]

lol

u shoodnt be cutting springs man...................

anyway, i think the difference is in the stiffness

[kairi_k]

lol cutting springs is a really bad idea...seanliew u selling them BSA rims? they look pretty sweet on EG hatch with right sussy setup..

[seanliew]

I knowsprings should never be cut...the guy that sold me the car cut it himself... the ruin wheels will be at a slight tilt, wrecking the shocks and cvjoints. + cause the spring rate not changed the spring is too soft.. there fore bumping my cat all the time!!.. tts Y i need a set of springs asap.. ( bigger wheels would solve the prob.. but create another one.... wrecking the side venders)

[seanliew]

just spoken to my mech. was wrong. is just the spring rate difference.....:P

eg being lighter and KIng being softer... having king ek springs installed would be fine (i noob-ly reckon).

[kairi_k]

hi also will ls teggy aftermarket springs fit eg?

[kairi_k]

Dc2r factory springs any good for eg setup?

any thoughts?

[krogoth]

have a search man, plenty of info

off the top of my head, i can tell u that they will most likely fit

this is a good handling upgrade, the car will sit a tiny little lower i think

and the springs are stiffer, improving handling

u can usually find them for a good price, match them up with some koni yellows or some bilstein shocks, and uve got a massive improvement in handling

> my current springs are cut...causing massive camber wear

Incorrect toe steeings are probably doing a lot of the damage.

Fix the springs by all means, but get it into a suspension place to correct the toe settings (and camber while you're there) otherwise you might still be disappointed with the wear rate.

Whiteline can help with camber kits. amongst others
