Default do stock springs sag any????

well thats the question, do stock springs sag any?? I have a 00 honda civic EX 4-door and i bought some Ractive Evotion lowering springs to lower it 1.25 inch. I am just hoping it does not sag too much(cuz i have 18's,can anybody relate), any body now if these springs are good, i got them because they are the lowest lowering i could find besides the H&R .75 inch springs

thanks

let me just start by saying 'wtf?'

okay. so you're telling me that the lowest lowering springs you can find are supposed to give a 1.25" drop? where are you shopping?

second of all, don't ever buy anything by ractive ever again.

ok, back to the first thing. i dunno where you're shopping for springs, but there are a metric ass ton of lowering springs available for civics. the most common ones are made by eibach, H&R/neuspeed, tein, progress, etc.

eibach springs come in a few different configurations, with the most common being the pro-kit (1.3" drop) and the sportline which is 1.8".

H&R and neuspeed are very similar. i believe the spring rates on H&Rs are slightly higher but i am not certain. H&R OE/Neuspeed sofsports drop apprx .75", the sports are about 1.75 front and 1.5 rear, and the race are 2.5 front and 2.25 rear.

i had H&R sports on my teg, and H&R race on my del sol. i currently have eibach pro kit on my 91 hatch, but come spring, new struts and H&R race are going on.

anyway, yeah. moral of the story, don't buy anything by ractive/obx/apc/nonameebayshit. especially on suspension parts.

btw, welcome to han :hi:
