Looking to lower my teg...

[GreekWarrior]

Just wondering should I just grab some king springs for it or would it be worth looking at other brands?

and possible some strut braces, again should I go for brands or just try and find some off a type r of my model teg?

I'm not trying to turn it in into a track car I just want to lower it, I have a 94 gsi btw.

cheers

find strut braces off a type R~ cheaper and does the job.

about the lowering i would just keep saving for whole new suspension, kings is okai, but if you save up a grand or so you can just smash on k sport coilovers or second hand JIC's.

if i had to put springs on and keep normal shocks i would get something like spoon progressives, or skunk 2 i think makes some lowering springs ?.

[GreekWarrior]

ah k cool

I dunno about coilovers though, see the whole point of me deciding to lower it is because originally I was going to sell the car but I've decided not to so I thought I'd spend a bit of money on the teg.

In saying that I don't wanna spend to much money aye, might look for the spoon springs if they're only acouple of hundred more than the kings.

I had this same dilemma...

*Spoon progressive springs - $500 shipped
although I cannot doubt that these springs are good... especially on stock shocks, however after factoring installation (unless you can do it yourself) etc the overall price would be close enough to justify coilovers

*Skunk2 springs - $230 + shipping
other forums (U.S) many claim these to be the best lowering springs out there. However the main reason I didn't purchase these myself is that these springs will lower your car by 2.5" - 2.25". Say goodbye to your stock shocks...

*King springs - $350 installed
you know the deal... harsh, sags etc however it is a probable option for me atm because of its price.

Hope that helps you a bit

oh so have you got kings on your teg?

what are they like?

See I don't fell like spending alot of money, like I said I'm not trying to make a track car, I just wana lower it.

kings ftw

[Zilli]

if you just want to lower it then get kings... but thats all theyre really good for... but if handling matter than get a better sprirng.

I had kings on my R, and yeh they looked nice..................

[hisoka]

are you gonna install them your self bro~

u aready got ur budget in mind at the begining , u will get "how much" u paid for...
just go for ur preference Spoon progressive springs

guys... he has repeatedly mention he dun want to spend much $$ , so I would assume his budget wont more then $750 or above....

[GreekWarrior]

yeah I under stand that haha, but around the 500-600 would be the max, still alot for springs though...

I don't think it'd be worth putting coilovers on my non-vtec teg lol


I can get one of my mates to chuck em on, but if I bought kings I'd probably just get em done where I buy em.

[GreekWarrior]

so if I were to get spoon springs would it be these ones?

Spoon are a good option as not too low and a bit easier on the shockers.
$500 is alot for springs though
Could always look at ebay usa.They have quite a few options usually
