Springs, springs, springs...

sparq · 01-09-2002, 12:29 AM

I only want ACTUAL experience with springs. Not looking for cheapy coilovers, just a BASIC lowering spring to be used with my Bec-Techs... Anyone have any experience with some springs (also include price!) Thanks...

Go with some soft springs, because the Bec-Techs have very little to offer in the way of increased damping over stock shocks.

I like H&R sports...I'm not sure about Bec-techs, but I believe they are height adjustable

so you can adjust it the way you want

Directly from Tom... thats the only way I know of...

Im trying to hookup with Tom and become a dealer for him to try and get some more exposure but hes always busy with work, or building them for a group buy. Im sure we will get to talk about it soon!

UMMMmmmmm, Bec-Tech is HEIGHT adjustable... thats what they were designed for ~ so you can have a stock height, or drop it down 4" and still maintain a factory like ride. However there are a new "series" out which are fully adjustable ~ to give a more "dampening effect"

1993HondaCivic · 01-09-2002, 07:21 PM

so you just talk to "tom" directly to get some?? does he have a web site?

thats freaking sweet but i think i am gonna get eibach sprinks and tokico or koni or agx and just be done with it i mean i dont want anything dramatic just like a 1-1.5 drop which i get with the eibach pro-sports

You want help slamming your car with no reagrd for the proper performance of the suspension, then just pick any spring, it is not going to matter. Your seals will leak in 2 months with any drop over 2".
Just put sand bags in your passenger seat and trunk.
That is what it will ride like. But you'll be low.

H&R sport, Nuepeed Race, should do it.

i have the sprint 2.5 inch springs on my car with stock shocks now for a year and a half. i have absolutely no problems at all. i thought i would need a camber kit but, the shop back home i went to does excellent work and aligned my car without a camber kit. $120 later..........
anyways.....i only paid $100 (on special) and i love the ride.
good luck

H&R racing springs! I put those on my 97 Civic and now it is slammed to hell!!!

eibach pro kits 1.3 (yeah right)- nice drop, sloppy
eibach sportlines 1.7 (seemed like 2.7)- to low, stiff, decent handling
intrax 2.0 - perfect height, to stiff, shitty handling

all of these were used with kyb agx's or tokico illumina's or konis

i'll give you my feelings on h&r sports when i put them on sometime this week.
