Lowering Springs

[dominazn]

Hey guys.

I need some advice hope you blokes can help me out. :) I've just got a set of rims from work and put them on and currently it looks like a 4WD!! looks ridiculous! anyways, so looking into lowering it on its ass, whether replacing springs, resizing them to suit height, etc. I found a set of ebay, any good? Take a look. Otherwise any other suggestions?? I really want the car to sit on its ass, well not too low. lols Cheers.

How much you willing to spend? don't really trust ebay springs..

For around $300 you can get a set of Kings Superlows (springs, lowers around 2inch)
Add another $900ish get an adjustable shocks (Koni Yellows), since most likely your stock shock will die sooner or later.

Or you can go Coilovers :)

PS. what car?

[VTECMACHINE]

what car do you have? what size rims do you have?

i wouldn't get those springs, but that's just me.

Location Location Location?!

Ive got a 92 Black EG Si Hatch =/ 15inch rims on it, nothing exciting.

[croatiaboi]

i wouldnt get those man,iv got a set very similar off ebay like those and their crap, sereously man ur shocks are goan die on u before no time n ur gona wish u never bought them.. lol i know i do.. saving now to get proper coilovers

[CRXDEL501]

i wouldnt go ebay springs aye.
depending on how much u wanna spend if u wanna get something worth it look at coilovers instead of springs

[dominazn]

lols unlucky croatiaboy. Cheers for the heads up but though. Yeah im just after springs guys, coilovers is abit too much for me. Just something simple to cruise with as the car is not worth much.

300 dollars will get u TEIN S-tech delivered from USA :D.

Just get some TEIN coilovers - there cheap compared to a spring shock combo IMHO.

Pedders on my car when first installed was "officially the legal height" 1.5 inches, after like 4 months its like 2.5inches!!! ultra sag - super soft springs.

im considering the TEIN S-tech myself.

[LLS]

[AutoNoob]

But apparently there are also TEIN-S fakes on ebay...so yeah. Its like $180 + $120 delivery.

Or you can contact TEIN australia in parramatta they have TEIN S-tech for $345.

[dominazn]

Coolies! the TEIN S-tech sounds good mate. Im from sydney.

may have some eibach sportlines for sale soon if you're interested :)

Eibach Sportline - 310F/275R (P/P)

[dominazn]

how much vinny?? And are they any good? How low we talking about?

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

Eibach Sportline's are very good

the old school civic AutoX guys use the Eibach springs and have had no complaints

Dominazn what is your budget mate?

[dominazn]

I was thinking about 300-500 bucks fitted.

[AutoNoob]

since ur in sydney u can pay Benjamin to install for u :D.

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

Agreed Ben FTW Nice guy does the job right the first time and if something IS wrong he WILL tell you its wrong

For your budget i think a good adjustable shock and spring combo could be in order unless you can get the Tiens

[mEh.]

What are the advantages/disadvantages between going a Spring+adjustableShock combo to Coilovers?

[AutoNoob]

Spring/Shock better than coilovers unless u get the real $$$ coilovers.
coilovers bang for buck i recon.

[dominazn]

oh ok. How do i can Benjamins contact "Autonoob"

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

Send "Bennjamin" (The Mod) A Pm asking for a price to have some shocks+springs/Coilovers installed

Just buy the parts and go see him :thumbsup:

Skunk2's are meant to be a good Shock/Coilover/Etc part

but at the price of the coilovers vs shocks IMO its better to just buy the coilover and be done with it

This will be a good system to get and will be 100% quality :thumbsup:
