Does a 1992 Honda Civic Hatchback have the same coil spring fitting and measurements with a 1997 Honda Civic Hatchback? My friend has Neuspeed lowering springs for a 1992 Honda Civic Hatchback and I would like to buy it for my 1997 Honda Civic Hatchback but I just wanna make sure it will fit to avoid waste of time and money. Your response will be truly appreciated. Thanks!

 

The spring rates may be different but if you're desperate for lowering, they'll work in a pinch.

 

the spring rates would be stiffer in the newer springs, wouldn't they? because the newer one is likely to be heavier, correct?

 

ok. i will just try it out. thanks a lot!

 

Yes it will work but the ride will be a little different.

 

The stock struts aren't going to last super long. I have neuspeed springs on my hatch, and my struts are compressed. It's an OK, but lame ride on bumps. The back sounds horrible.

 

LoL! so how can you resolve the terrible sound at the back? so do I need to buy new struts? how about the shocks? do I need to replace them? sorry, im just new at this stuff. so noob.

 

What I'm GOING to do is buy new struts that are meant for a lowered spring. A shock on a Honda like ours is considered a strut. It's one in the same. It's all going to depend on how much you want to spend. There are a lot to choose from, and everyone is going to tell you what you should get. Do a search on it. Something like "best strut" in the search window. I might do a KYB, because they're been around a long time, and are with-in the budget (when I get around to it). I'll spend like $300 for all of them.

Maybe just throw the springs on, and drive the car. The car will ride differently from the get-go, and eventually you'll notice WHEN the struts are starting to go. When you put new ones on, you'll no longer be a "noob" when it comes to it, and you'll be able to help someone out if you bump into a question like this.

 

find out what springs they are and how much of a drop they're supposed to give you. if it's only an inch or so, you can probably get away with the stock struts for quite a while. if it's any more than that, they'll go eventually. it also depends on your purpose. do you want sport/street, or do you want full race, rattle your balls off on the way to work?

 

i'm starting to get the hang of it now. thanks for the tip. sure i will help someone like me, who is so confused about technical stuff.


i just want it for the looks. just being with a car which is nice to look at makes me feel confident. i just have to install it this weekend. maybe sunday. thanks again.
