Well everyone around here has told me it is time to lower my car. I have tried to do many searches on this topic and everyone has a different opinion. Who ever posts their opinion on this post is what I am going to base my decision on. I wont to lower my car but not slam it. I have a ground kit on it right now. I decided I should change my springs when because my rear tire rub baddddd. I don't autocross or take serious turns. I just wont to lower my car and a good ride? Coilovers? I heard skunk2s are good and for springs I heard H&R's are good but what combination should I go with if I had 500 and would like to change out struts as well? By the way when does Acura say to change out struts... After how many miles?

 

eibach sportline springs.....
i have em...they ride real nice

 

what struts? How low do they go?

 

With the sportlines, your gonna have a much stiffer ride due to the lower ride height (stiffer springs, and stiffer struts to prevent bottoming out). I recommend the Eibach Prokit actually (I will be getting this soon). It lowers nicely, and doesnt require you to use crazy stiff struts since its not as low as the sportlines.


The H&R springs are good in a sense if you want the front of your car lowered more than the rear.

Koni Yellow (?) Adjustables I hear are very high quality, but expensive. If you're on a tight budget the KYB AGX do a great job at a much more reasonable price.

I think struts generally last around 75k miles...

 

Ok so springs are in and coilovers are out? I heard coilovers are really stiff./

 

Do Koni Reds have adjustable perches like the Yellows?

 

i had the sportline springs for about 8 thousand miles and it was a good height and the ride was good, they reduced annoying body roll also. Trinispeed, if you want to buy them off me just email me.

 

I have the H&R sports with tokico blues. The ride is good and not too stiff. It dropped the car about 1.7 in front and 1.5 in the back, which makes it look like an even drop, because the rear wheel well arch is different than the front. I would reccoment my setup.
Springs should be about 140 from speed driven, and i got my shocks at a shop for 280.

 

I have H&R Sports with KYB AGX. Even after 6K with them they still ride perfect.

 

Skunk2 coilover & Tokico Blues (10K miles on them and STILL going strong, good ride too)
