Hey guys,
I want your help to decide which springs I should get. I want something with a good spring rate and as minimal a drop as possible (I like ground clearance). I have pretty much narrowed my choices down to the Eibach Pro-kit or NeuSpeed/H&R SofSport/OE Sports. I will prolly get those KYB AGX shocks to go along with whatever springs I choose. Also plan for some 16x7 rims with 225/40's in the future. Need something that will work with this overall package.
Suggestions? Which is prefered? Eibach or Neuspeed?

I went with the H&R sofsport springs and ended up swapping them out, just like the guy that sold them to me said I would. I went with the Neuspeed sports and they worked really well. I have the coilovers now though. I don't think you can fit a 225/40 on a 16X7. You would need a 7.5 in the width to run a contact patch that wide I think. Someone correct me if I am wrong. I think a 215 is as wide as you can go.

What made ya swap em out fastfour? I have RS*R springs on mine right now and they are too low. I want something a little higher. I was thinking one of these two would suit me better. I want to stay away from coilovers.

MarkC,
I wanted a little lower stance and the OE's just weren't doing it for me. Wearing out tires really isn't an issue to me b/c my car is not a daily driver. I went with the coilovers just b/c of the versatility. I can slam the hell out of it for shows and put it back where I want it for the drive home.

Hey Mark, I don't know how much clearance you nee/would like to have but the H&R OE's list as a .75f/.75r and the sports list as 1.75f/1.5r I have actually ordered some sports to mate with my KYB's. I am selling my GC's and buying the springs, Energy suspension motor mounts, shifter stabilizer and sway bar bushings for about the same as what I am gettign form the coil overs. Here is a link to show you the clearance with the Sports that Cheeseman posted when I wanted to see the drop. http://honda-tech.com/cgi-bin/thread.cgi?thread=6813 It is just a tad bit higher then what I hve my GC's set on now. I ordered all the stuff from here http://www.cuaresma.com/pimotorsports/groupbuy.html He does buys on Group Buy Central but sells stuff a the low prices he has on the site. Good luck Mark and I hope this stuff helps. I don't know how low your ride is now but I have plenty of clearnce now and more on the way http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif

MarkC, I've got Eibach pro-kit and KYB AGX. It corners like a monster (compared to stock of course). My roommate was barely able to tell a difference with ride quality, but I noticed it was slighty bouncier when hitting large bumps. The shocks are easily adjustable and the drop is a little over an inch. Over all I am pleased, and would do it again.
Just be ready to buy a new rear lower arm(s). I had to drill/saw/tear/cut mine off to get the rear passenger side shock out. It was not pleasant. The bolt that attaches the bottom of the rear shocks to the arm has a very good tendancy to seize. It did not seize in the threads, but actually inside the bushing it self. Spent 3 days, about 6 hours each day fighting with it. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/frown.gif
It was worth it though.

Go with some adjustables...raise and lower as you please...

Hi MarkC,
Why do you not want coil overs? I think this is the way to go for sure. I got GC's coil overs with Eibach Sports 350 lb front, 280 lb rear. I also installed AGX adjustable shocks. The car really feels very nice, corners beautifully. If you go with the coil overs you don't need to compromise on the springs at all. Just get the exact spring rate you want and adjust the exact ride height you want. Also, you can always change the height very easily. I think this is the best way to go. I did it once and I'd do it again too.

Hey C, you changing up on us? I can understand about the RS*Rs cause i have them myself. I know that Eibach is a good one and they don't drop the car too low. I used to have some on my old car.
