i am aware of that... i was just wondering what springs are availiable with that springrate and that low

imported_gatherer 03-Oct-2003 10:07 AM

call up eibach.... I forget the hieght of civic springs when uncompressed but you need that take that hieght drop it by like an inch or an inch and a half... then call eibach and ask for springs with the rates 350 (with the front hieght) and 450 (with the rear hieght) then you have springs with a 1 inch to 1.5 inch drop and a good 350F/450R spring rates...

Eibach makes tons of custom sprinsg .. also I recommend linear rate springs it'll be better for the track in my opinion.

so what type of shock would go well with that?
-eibach springs
-_____shocks
-neuspeed stower bars(how muhc are they?)
- chassis braces
-bushing kit

koni yellows or kyb agx's it's just a matter of choice... adjustability is the key.... (kyb's are cheaper so get them)

I'd suggest a energy suspensions master kit for bushings around 500 I think

Neuspeed strat tower brace for the front and rear ...I dunno around 150 to 300 I have no clue

and a rear sway bar I'd suggest a 22 mm one from progress... bug Astroboy for his price since he hasn't mosted it (and claims it's cheaper then the price I posted)

the rear sway bar the springs and the shocks will make the biggest difference.

check this for some wicked braces:

going to have to PM SW20 MR2 for his current prices but I think the stuff is pretty cool

500 for the bushing kit?

gatherer... what is the diff in the benjen or whatever products? they cost alot but what is the diff from other parts that are simialr?

Seein how you want to go too the track with your civic...

the setup would be nice:

H&R Sport (use the Integra Application because they have stiffer springs rates, stiffer spring rates means increased cornering and handling)
KYB AGX Shocks
Both ITR front and rear Sway bars
Front Lower Tie Bar
Generic Rear Strut and trunk Bar
Neuspeed Front Strut Bar


www.speedstate.com has the best price on H&R Springs


but honestly if you are going to the tack the car too the track, in my eyes Eibach's springs rates are very soft, so you tend to get a lot of body roll and would get a lot of a lean going into corners..

Just use the H&R and espeically use the Integra Application, since H&R to begin with is already stiff as is, your handling will be much sharper and more responsive...but dont worry about the ride quality it aint as bad as you think, just as long as you dont go with H&R race which will rattle your brains cause of the stiffness of the ride..

see look at this comparission in spring rates:

Eibach ProKit - 290F/190R
vs.
H&R Sport - 330F/280R

this spring rates are for the civic, but you can tell which one would handle better when pushed into corners, see how stiff the H&R Sports with Civic application, but damn imagine the integra application...your handling would be off the hook but dont get a horrible ride in the proccess
