Springs

Anyone know of a place on the web where I can get some nice springs? Im not interested in lowering my car, so lowering springs are out of the question. Thanx

do they make performance springs that don't lower your car? Mike, do you live in a bumpy area or something?

extremly bumpy and when I was on the highway the other day up north on rt 78 in NJ, i though I killed the bottome of my car with all the bumps. would coil overs set at stock height be the answer?

that's the only thing i can think of. I have a set of arospeed coilovers on my 95 civic, and they are able to go back to stock height. If you're looking for better handling, get a set of performance struts at the same time, you'll save money. i just bought a new tokico suspension kit because with my coilovers i'm blowin struts every 3 months

actually i got mine on ebay. They are called the air dynamic coil overs or somet5hing, they didn't say that thye were arospeed. When i opened the box, the springs said arospeed on them. I think they were only like $220 canadian, which is like $150 american.

I live in Northern Ohio and feel your pain...but i am dropped 2.25" with H&R springs and have Tokico adjustables. It is really not that bad....Have you ever noticed how lowered cars are always swerving? It is not 'cause we are high or drunk. We are dodging bumps. I seem to take the same roads all of the time (I know which are bad and which aren't).

If you decide on a (fake) coil-over system (real meaning spring/shock combo) go with Skunk2...I have seen nothing but good reveiws for them.

I went with Skunk 2's, i already paid a fortune for shocks 2 weeks ago and didn't wanna buy more. I'm finding that modding a car is 75% fun 25% total frustration, although I notice more women coming up to me

check out thepartstrader.com or Honda-tech.com

I'm sure you can find some there...they will cost a lot new because you will have to go to the dealer
