    I'm using neuspeed springs (which are the same as h&r).


    Those springs have a pretty high spring rate, so make sure you match a good strut with them (koni yellows). I'm rocking the sport version (since I'm not making a race car a) match with a set of gr2s and my car is only a tab bit stiff than stock.

    Eibach sportlines are 1.7, one set of h&r's are 2.5 and 2.25. But you don't remember for sure and im sure he doesn't either.

    I saw some tokico hps for like 230 something free shipping so i may go with those.
    I would like to get the eibachs instead but they ride higher in the front for some reason If i get those i might be taking a half or full revolution out the springs.
    You coming out to the honda meet tomorrow???

    well you can't go wrong with both springs

    as for struts, I wouldnt go anything less than AGX's (even tho my setup isn't bad, I still kick myself now)

    I may stop by, but I gotta do some homework 1st.

    Hotrod in the aspect of it being lower in the front than the rear?

    It's not confusing, it just don't make sense. Your car even outs when driving, but jacks up (rear) when at a standstill. That doesn't sound great

    it wasnt a big difference and thats how most springs were made in the 90's especally for mkIII supras call them ask them about. they will tell you thats they made it. if the springs were at the same ride height, when you would launch o take off the rear would be lower than the front. so like i said before at a stand still the car would look sort of hot rodish and be lower in front than the rear, but on take off/driving the car would be the same ride height.

    I know you didnt mention Tein but get some Tein S Tech springs. Tein says the S Tech's are fine with OEM struts. Plus they will ride pretty good with tein's progressive spring rates(almost near stock). The tein s tech for a 92' civic lower it Approx. 1.8 F and 1.7 B. After you install them make sure to get an alignment or else you will be buyin new tires in 6 months.

    Get a pair of cheap "coil-over" sleeves off ebay and raise or lower to even it up

    Tein S-Techs go with stock shocks because they are nearly as soft as stock springs. The S-Techs are strictly for show, they have no benefit otherwise.

    How are springs made strictly for show going to offer a good ride quality? Unless you like the feel of a Crown Victoria.

    Tein's website says nothing about the S Tech springs being "strictly for show" lowering springs. I dont know where your getting that from. No offence. I was merely tryin to help the guy out, he said that he didnt have the $ for new struts so i suggested the tein s tech. Crown Vic's ride pretty good by the way.lol. If you get H&R springs get the sports.

    H&R race springs are good springs, but they are a little on the soft side for the drop they give.

    Also running them with stock shocks is an awful idea, but whatever works for ya'...
