right...

he needs a spring compressor and 10 bucks says his lca bolts are seized to the bushing.

If your gona do it yourself, get the strut assembly, get a shop to fire off the lca bolts and put lots of anti-seize on them then put them back in.

And ill help you install your struts. Should take an hour and change.

^^^ agreed don t even try to do the rears without a torch.... the front are easy but the LCA bolts in the rear are almost ALWAYS seized.

imported_kon-yue

hey guys I am stuck between two different springs
not sure which one to get
eibach or h&r race ones

I am looking for good handling and stiffness but also has a smooth ride

they will be on tokico 5 way struts on an eg hatch

thanx for the info

also if anyone knows a good place or some good to do my supension plz pm

imported_bananax

which H&R ones, H&R Sports ?

imported_Rayz_si

I'm really happy with my eibach sportline springs for 3 years, nice firm yet smooth ride, stiff enough for the track.

H&Rs are probably the most aggressive riding springs, best for track.

imported_wajih1

i have h&r sports, ride is comfortable, however these arent meant for super handling, they are for street use. maybe the race springs would give you really good handling, but wont be as comfortable.

I had Rs*R springs on my car. I liked em. Stiff tho...

Where you buying them from ?

DumbasSi

The Prokit springs are only about a 1" drop while the H&R Race are 2.5". Quite a difference.

I have the H & R sports with no camber kit and stock struts! one is blown but I got a cheap set of tokico blues to through in.... I am very happy with the set up. I think the H & R's go for around 230

imported_Kingjames1983

HR sports on a 96 are 1.75 drop in the front and 1.5 in the rear. You dont need a camber kit, just an alignment when you put them in. The HR race will need a camber kit if you are doing daily driving so you dont chew the tires and blow one on the 401 or something.

imported_JDMman

i have h&r sports on tokico illuminas and the ride is pretty damn nice...it definitly makes a difference compared to stock.

imported_d16y8

Totally. This job can turn into a nightmare fast if you snap those seized bolts.

imported_SiR_Gurl

im pretty confused on which springs to get cuz there so many different kinds..im planning on lowering it 1.5" ..which ones wud be bset then?

imported_Kingjames1983

just go H & R sports.... but before you buy make sure they are ligit and re check the lowering specs on the box before you pay for them because almost every company has a couple diferent springs.

imported_honda1b6a

eibach prokit or H&R sports are both good choices, both are roughly 1.5" drop. Buy one or the other and dont look back. Sometimes u can get great deals on the net like ebay for these springs or try northern motorsport on rennie street.

pain2bare

Yeah northern quoted me at $285 for the prokit taxes in, I ended up going with the sportlines and love the ride.

d16z6T

Go Prokit. I have em and highly reccomend them.

DumbasSi

I'd still go with H&R.

imported_honda1b6a

its all about personal reference on springs,, i no tonnes of ppl with eibachs that love them and h&R as well.
