Im not really after awsome performance but more for safety (is spring compressing safe enough? )
Whats my best option you guys think for tight budget ? As most of you guys have been through this ect.
Thanks in Advance ! :thumbsup:

what springs are used there ? that link that i posted ?
dude you get what you pay for , these are junk , dont go there !!! they have poorly made aluminum sleeves (not steel) springs are no brand no specs no trust , i had a mate that got a set for his integra thinking he was smart , but well lets just say he ended up with putting in lowered springs and he was very happy , if you are on a budget , then look into getting a good set of springs (the best you can afford)then later you can get some shocks to go with .when you can afford them:p
Ahhh okay, but i need to get my back springs lower than my front cause im getting a front lip & dont wanna pass the legal limit, would i have to compress my springs ?
mate i made the mistake of buying these, wast of money, if you live near newy you can use mine to see if they fit, if they do, yours for jack all ahah.
i ended up buying some lowered springs, although havent got around to putting them in yet.
has anyone compressed there springs or cut ? would anyone recommend them or are they as bad as people say they are
^ Avoid at all cost. If you wanna lower it do it the proper way or don't bother to lower at all.
Does anyone know how Skunk2 shocks perform on CD5?
what if i need my front slightley higher than back cause of front lip? but cant afford coilovers :(Quote:

Kmac do a custom spring to whatever height you want. Ans they are reasonably priced. Dont ever cut springs I did this on my first car and destroyed the suspension. Learnt the hard way. Not to mention way way illegal.
Since your wallet is jewish, just buy sum King Spring Lows, comes down not all the way where the guards are right over the top of the tyre but good enough, gives you room to do things such as buy bigger profile tyres with/out rims. Only cost me $300 at tyrepower fitted and allignment free! And the ride is smoother than I expected before I got the cd5 lowered. This is my weekday drive so I wanted to do something to make the cd5 look bit better with the balance of a good ride.
Enjoy and hope you good luck with your decision! If you want photos let me know.
I'll post them up here!
Oh and I wouldnt cut/reset the standard springs either, BIG NO NO!!
