Default Which Springs?

Hello everybody..

Im going to purchase a set of springs soon, but I dont know which one to get...

I only want sport, cuz...the car will be a daliy driven and i dont want to get a camber kit nor a struts as they will just increase the cost of my investment.

These are the springs that im currently thinking about:

H&R sports (1.7/1.5)
Eibach Prokit (1.5/1.5)
Teins STECH (2.0/1.7) ***this is a sport springs, no need for camber or aftermarket struts***

has anyone tried or have heard about the Teins STECH springs?

Thanks in advance...

oh btw, my car is a 1998 Honda Accord Coupe 2dr, and I dont have wheels yet, but (ill be getting some soon) its going to be 17x7.5 with 45mm offset and 225/45/17. tires.

there might be a need for a camber kit w/ that 2" drop... i have a 1" to 1.5" somewhere w/ the prokits and I'm on the limits of the stock specs of -1.0 degrees of camber.

They've changed the H&R Sports to 1.5/1.2 now, but it just looks the same to me :dunno:

Whether it's 1.5/1.2 or 1.75/1.5, everyone here will agree that you won't need a camber kit. The 2" drop may need it. As for your wheels, it looks like you may not have rubbing at all :thumbup:

Thanks again...once I get springs, do I need to let it settle first then get an alignment? If so, how long do springs settle? Also, my next question, If your lowered and it has settled and your using Stock wheels and rubber then you decide to change rims to aftermarket wheels and rubber, would you need another alignment? or no?

Oh, I heard that you can lower you car even more by using perches??? What are they? how much can you lower your car with that?

Thanks in advance..
