Dont come on here and act like you hvnt vtec'd in your car at all, and i have attended Traffic Offenders Program, before you worry about a P plater hoon killing people on the road, think about the drink/drug (normally full licensed) drivers out there mate. You have no idea, do you. Dont just go off what the media tells you, do your own research. Wait ill link you to a stats page if i can find one.

*coughs* I've owned two hondas, neither had/ have vtec... I've never attended a traffic offenders program... I've had my license suspended, because I crashed my eg (first rain, slippery corner) and got a fine for running a yellow light when I was trying not to do that, and ended up doing that to not look like I was trying not to do it... I'm exempt from your entire argument. :3
Also, research doesn't give you a bad name as much as media does... What's the bet thousands of people, if not millions around the country think every person in a modified car is a hoon, who is unruly, aggressive, can't talk for shit, and doesn't give a shit for the law or people's safety. after watching a current affair, when they went on about defects 'n' shit, and interviewed a bunch of pissed off wogs (no offense to anybody here) Media has more of a control on what gives people a bad name or not. So if you and every other boy racer out there goes and does skiddies on the streets, crashing into shit and scaring the general public, no doubt everyone in a honda will get a bad rep.

tl;dr, I'm exempt from your argument cause I don't have/ haven't ever had any vtec honda's, nor have I ever been in a traffic offenders program. You're also an idiot, who can't troll for shit, and sucks at driving.
Gratz.

brb adjust to any height you want

brb you can just part them out when you sell the car
brb would rather have coilovers with no engine mods over ghetto ass king spring and 1kw gaining intake


if you drive your car even slighty enthusiasticly around twisties, go with coilovers.


imo anyway.

Become bull sheet I gotta say

bite the bullet, buy expensive,cry once, buy cheap,cry all the time
springs are a quick fix and u stuck with that height
coilovers on the other hand can be adjusted to compensate for fat chicks bigger wheels different offset and clearance
my nan haz coilovers in her daily just drop the spring rate to oem and put the damper on soft ud rather fit it and forget then fit it and regret

im getting these for my CRX i think its a good middle ground for Daily & the odd track day.

i would try fid something like this OP

I found a local mechanic, specialize in mainly performance Honda's - quite a few modded cars there. I asked him if I'd be better off spending $1400 on coilovers etc or just get King Springs and drop it an inch or so, he was all for just new springs. Pretty much just said it'll handle a lot better, look better and since I'm not using it for track or anything theres no point shelling out that amount for coilovers. These guys know what they're talking about, unfortunately I forgot most of what he said but I went in with 1 or 2 questions when they helped me fix something with my Teg and it turned into a 15min convo so I'm still on the fence, we'll see.

i say decent branded springs,

or better still, lower it on shocks

In summary this is what your wrote.

They specialize mainly in Honda's... quite few modded cars.. $1400 coilovers vs King springs... King springs win, because they handle better.. look better.. and they know what they're talking about

:thumbdwn:

Don't get full on coil overs if you're just driving it on the street all the time, or if you don't want to go crazy low.

I have spoon springs a dampers.

Just get decent springs, kings sag all the time and really don't offer a performance upgrade (slightly stiffer than stock, not really worth it).

I would recommend getting spoon springs, they are fantastic.

Great for daily driving. They are kinda stiff, you do bounce around in the car on the more bumpy roads, but that's part of the fun.

+1 for spoon springs, ride height is also perfect!!
