I am looking to buy springs for my 99 SIR
I don't go racing or anything, therefore I just need something that will give me a nice look and nice ride. Also, I am planning to have these on stock shocks and 16" rims in the future, but for now on stock sir wheels
So It came down to TEIN s tech and H&R springs.
I hear TEINS lower 1.9" front and 1.7" rear
and H&R lower 1.75" front and 1.5" rear

So what should I go for, and are those number correct?
Advantages/Disadvantages
Would there be any issues with rubbing/camber?
Thanks

I say go with the tein s tech springs they si a bit lower and i doubt there will be any issues with rubbing , jus get teh correct tire size

I have TEIN's and they only lowered my car 1.3"

The ride is amazing.

Exhausted subject - You'll find more opinions by doing a search.

I went through the same dilemma asking the same question. In the end, I trusted a german suspension component over a japanese one. I'm very happy with my H&R's.

tein

my buddy has them on his sir, and nothing but good feedback about em

Alekss

DJTre >> Does he have any pics posted of his car.

I think I'll probably go with TEIN.

DJTre

nah, he's not a member on this site.
I'll look for a pic of an sir riding on teins though.

DJTre

click me

click on the "photo front', 'photo rear', 'photo side' to view pics of them on civics.

I didn't get a chance to look through the pics, but there may be a pic of them on an sir, not sure.

Alekss

Thanks man

it needs to be lower..can u really lower it that much though?? it says that you can lower tein's 1.8 front 1.7 rear

springs don't have a good drop height like coils..but u get a stiffer ride...

imported_JookSingKid

Looks good to me!

Alekss

OK but the thing is when you comapre let's say front lowering height in both TEIN and H&R
so it's 1.9" vs. 1.75" ... thats only .150" difference...I mean is this even noticable???? Therefore, I don't think there is much difference in what the car will look like when lowered with either spring....the difference I wanna know is in quality, performance, and I also heard TEINs were designed to work with stock shocks....if thats true, why are they softer than H&R ... shouldn't stiffer springs be more forgiving on the shocks?????

j_limitz

torrey said he only got 1.3 out of his...i dunno if thas the height he wanted or if that is the max height...

u r planning on getting the s-tech right??

Alekss

Yes planning but H&R seems more attractive...german engineering lol

therein60mins

the lower the better baby!!!!!....... but yup.... i have h&r springs... the ride is great.... but im thinking about tein flex suspension....

DJTre

Don't go any lower than that

have u seen my car yet????

2.3" front/rear

PMM me and ill send u pics of my 2000 SIR...
and ill show u how slammed in at, but here is the pic... i wont be driving in the winter with this vehicle.

i survived it though. just get some winters and PLOW, id recommend taking the lip off though.

only when i hit these insane BUMPS on the LINK.... hamilton peeps will know what bump im talkin about right between Garth and Mohawk... that damn construction not done yet... and i bottom out on the ride side lane... only when going 120km/h

Alekss

what do you guys think a fair price for a set of H&R is
