    Default New springs Neuspeed vs. Eibach

    So I'm new to IA and I have a question..

    I'm buying some new springs for my 95 accord and I have it narrowed down to either Neuspeed sport springs or Eibach pro-kit

    I wanna know which is the right choice lol.. I had a BMW 318i with Eibachs and I loved them.. I've heard they are stiffer than Neuspeeds but I honestly love a tough stiff ride!! But I also know Neuspeeds will be lower - heard they were softer

    Tell me which one is better? which one will last longer (not sag over time)? which you prefer? I want it stiff AND low..

    PS (I know I will need shocks eventually.. got no $, and I know there are better brands.. again got no $)

    The only thing I like about Neuspeed is the drop. If you want to go lower with Eibach, then get the Sportline kit. That's my personal favorite.

    I say Neuspeed, the Yellow ones, they ride lower then the Eibach an ride better to me...The Eibach just doesnt go low enough for me...So I agree to chose Neuspeed, I had many many Eibachs an Neuspeed, an I rather have the Neuspeed

    Although the drop of the Neuspeed Race springs (yellow) looks awesome. I don't find them practical for daily driving, they are very stiff. But if you're looking for a lower drop, get a set of Ground Control like I did.

    I think the yellow rode perfect with my KYB struts, now if it was on some worn out stuts then yea I can see it riding like crap...But I love the stiffer ride,

    neuspeed is ride stance with great comfort...very soft spring...
    eibach is pretty stiff depending on which line of spring you go with. I have had eibach in the past and wasn't to pleased with them, they started to sag....

    Just get a set of Ground Control Coilovers. I have them on my Si and love them.

    You get the height adjustment and coilovers are a much stiffer ride than springs.

    You could also get adjustable shocks for stiffness and rebound control

    i was going to go prokit on my 99 accord,but i went with H&R -Sport Springs..1.5"F,1.2" rear..they can be used with factory shocks.but i got some Monroe's. rides very smooth,close to OE with a sporty drop.not to low and not 4x4.

    GL.
    pretty close to same price also.

    I have/had Eibach on:

    2005 Mustang

    '04 Durango

    '06 Aspen

    '06 Viper

    We rock Eibachs at my house. Nice low stance with a great comfortable ride.

    I would get some ground control coilovers and koni yellow struts. Adjustability...ftw.

    But if i were to decide between the two listed id say neuspeed.

    get the skunk 2 shocks, cheap price (got mine for 250 shipped i think), work great. they're not adjustable, but who really needs adjustability unless ur running on a track or somethin

    I have neuspeed sport springs with KYB Gr2s on my crx and the ride is much better than stock. The stance is slightly aggressive (no where near slammed), but the spring could be slightly stiffer for my liking. I believe my next setup on my car will be Neuspeed race springs with KYB AGXs.

    Don't even bother unless you're replacing the shocks or save up a month or two and get the Tein Basic/SS coil-over. You'll thank me later.

    Whether it's a spring & shock combo or a true coil-over setup you want the dampening and rebound of the shock to be calibrated to the spring being used. Stock shocks aren't built to handle the stress of a stiffer spring, they simply can't keep up with it resulting in a bouncy unpredictable ride.

    I'd suggest researching the spring rates of the H&R Race, Neuspeed Race, Eibach Sportline, Suspension Techniques SpeedTech, etc. and decide how stiff a ride you want then find a suitable shock: Bilstein, Koni, etc.

    ...OR for about the same price a quality coil-over dampener that's already setup.
