Best lowering springs?

[dan89]

I know many people have opinions on this, and I was wondering for a daily driver that needs a mild drop, which would be the best lowering springs? I'm leaning towards eibach sportlines for my '91 hatch i'm picking up next monday

[Ones&zeros]

never had any kind of performance springs on my car, but i am opted to get the Tokico shock and spring setup, for a mild 1.25" drop. p.s. sportlines have bit more agressive drop.imo.

a lot of people like the koni shock with ground control coil sleeves.

My RX8 has tein stech with tokico's and i like them too.

[dan89]

where can those setups be found? I'm new to the import scene and have no idea where to find parts. Thanks

the first question is: how much are you willing to spend. answer that and we can give you a multitude of choices

koni/GC, or illuminas gets my vote for most apps. You can get the springs in any rate you like so you can custom fit the setup to your liking before ordering. Mine are 300/200 and I think its just fine if not a tad soft. The stock GC setup is like 350/225 I think. Here use this.

*I have so many useful links lol*

I don't want to blow more than say $250 on springs... oh and frodo i can't get your link to work

nvm my internet just had a hiccup lol. great link!!

Just did some pricing and new twin-tube KYB struts and the matrix ($120) coilover setup would only run me $350... I believe this is the route I'm gonna go... any thoughts?

[FrodoGT]

wtf is a matrix coil over set? and if your speaking about the kyb gr-2's they are stock replacements..and stiff springs will blow them with short order.

[Greenblurr93]

yeah, dont get KYB and dont get no name springs... you get what you pay for and you gotta pay to play

[dan89]

matrix was the coil over set from summit racing... can anyone point me in the direction of somewhat affordable struts for lowered suspension?

[Greenblurr93]

whats your budget for struts... you gave us the budget on springs only. Koni's are nice, tokico's are nice as well

[dan89]

well I'd much rather save a few months to get some nice struts rather than hold back my possibilities with a budget once I sell my mustang I'll have $300 a month to blow on the civ

i just bought used skunk2 519.05.1650 springs, i figure i need a camber kit and better shocks. What a mess did i just get myself in to. AND the car doesn't even run now anyways.

[Greenblurr93]

depending on how much you lower it, you dont need a camber kit
