Hello laaaaaa,
what some good stiff springs to replace my pedders to suit yellow koni.
I want to lower by 1.5 inches max (no sagging please)
the red pedders are apparently 1,5 but it looks more like 2.5 to me because they are too soft. Full lock roundabout turns - full wheel rub.
Whats the best/bang for buck peoples. Answers would be much appreciated.

some suggestions there :) page 2 or 3
get some eibach's :)
otherwise if you're on a budget you can use dc2r springs
250/250lbs linear at the front and progressive in the rear
pm me i got a set available ;)
kings
If you dont want sagging dont get kings, Eibachs or tein s-tech imoQuote:

Both models lower approx 1.5 to 1.8".
Tein S tech wil be too low. Look at H-Tech...
i cant remember but do you remember the progressive range for the rears? ???-250?Quote:

kg/mm not pounds lol.
speak in a language we can all understand :D
If you get the H&R use coil wrap otherwise will be noisey from previous experience although awsome handling springQuote:

dc2r
250lbs(4.4kg)/140-250lbs(2.5-4.4kg) f/r l/p
S tech isn't it only a 1.5" drop.. and here's an EM1 member with em on.. it aint low....Quote:

But yeh it aint very stiff.... only 4.2kg/235lb (front) 2.5kg/140lb(rear).
and what are the prices of these? my pedders on the rear are alrite, more than a finger gap between the wheel and the arch.
Front is 2.5inches or so.
So i just need two front springs.
give us some approximate prices on these things.
:) I dont care about price as long as its not some ridiculous 1000 bucks for 2 springs
Umm.. you can get the S tech for about 300 delivered straight to your door from the US on ebay.
TEIN S TECH
189+120 US,
it says, but it also says lowers 1.7 to 1.9!
I want 1.5 only .... hmmm shudnt make a big difference should it?
anyone know what the pedders spring rate is?
are u sure 1.7 - 1.9 it says 1.5 lol
Neuspeed -- American (soft)
Tein, Spoon etc -- Japanese (medium)
Eibach, H&R etc -- European (hard)
KG/MM's DR Proceed
Tanabe GF210
RS*R Ti2000
JIC X-Magic
Espelir Super Low or Active GT I think for EK...
Most of these are stiff and low it 30mm ---> 40mm which is ~1.5"
depned what you are looking for here as to your spring choice.
I can only comment on the 3 i have had but Eibach "i didnt find them hard"- nice trade off between comfort and handling. but doesnt drop enough imo. Tein s tech. great ride height, nice handling good in between. H&R excellent handling abit firm and spring makes nosie.....................so i give votes to s-tech
Also, there are several fake S Tech springs on ebay as well. Either way, good luck with your decision making. A drop will be good regardless - looks great and should handle better
be warned of tein springs on ebay - there is fake springs doing the rounds still on ebay. Ask for hi res images of the springs you are interested in
How do Koni Yellows & Tein springs compare to say a
TEIN BASIC COILOVER DAMPER KIT
Similarily priced
I've got both Koni /Spring combo and Tein SS coilover kit.
For handling. Koni will easily sh1t on Tein SS/Basic anyday - however Tein Flex is another story.. For comfort, Koni feels a little stiffer but still very bearable.
i would look at Koni Yellow + Ground Control kit (which uses an eibach spring).
how much are you looking at spending?
I noticed one of the trader has a set of eibach ground control coilover sleeves for $300. Allows for adjustment of height too, cheap as set of kings
ppl in states use this combo alot with konis.
10 times better than kings pedders etc,
JOE
^ they're for ed/ef though, the ones that jdmyard is selling for $300 :)
i think all the same mixed and matched all sorts before.

So what exactly is this ground control kit? it sounds good.
The legal lowering for a civic EK is apparently 1.5inches. My stupid mechanic got ueber sagging pedder spring which sit about 2.5 inches.
So yeah i just want 1.5 lowered MAX!!!!, pedders cause wheel to scrape on every friggin roundabout >__<

Those eibachs might fit your ride..im not really sure..good buy if they do
sadly no, EG5 says not EK lol >___<
too bad would been great buy
yeah shame :( teardrop!
i see its 600 bucks brand new..thats a bit overkill for me.
consideirng i had my shocks and pedders isntalled a mechanic
which set me back a LOT LOT of money and 10% satisfaction.
i might order some Tech H. They are only 1.3 inch drop which is closest to the legal max.
