I wouldn't go tooo low tho. tenzo makes some nice, smooth (and cheap!) lowering springs for hondas....check into that

:rofl::rofl:

Tenzo is absolute shit, and Tokico isn't a whole lot better.

if you put it lower then 2 inches look into a camber kit. i have it 1.8 all around and tis fine. the eibach shocks should be fine.

No shit Tokico is crap until you get into their coilovers and then they are simply decent for a coilover but far from great.

Tenzo I wouldn't put on my worst enemies car let alone my own...complete junk.

Depends on the spring rate you are using.

Just grabbing a 2" drop spring set tells us nothing. if you get a 2" drop spring from an of brand and it ends up being variable rate then it may crap out your shocks in an hour, get a liner rate and the shocks will behave differently etc. So it really depends, you can't just say a 2" drop is fine because each spring settles differntly and the spring rate has a lot to do with this as well.

BTW why do you keep posting these tech questions in the Basement?

I think I am going to close this thread and tell you to post suspension questions either in the sus[pension forum or your model specific forum instead.

Each succesive thread with your wonderfully brilliant tech question will also be closed.

I understand an emergency question or opinion questions once in a while but your questions are borderline troll questions and I really hate seeing your latest posts because I know it is just going to be some very boolean question and you aren't going to listen anyways.

So I close this thread now
