New Drop springs out - NEUSPEED 2" drop

[2006exsedan]

so Im looking to get drop springs for my 06 civic sedan

the main ones out right now are

tein - 1.5" F and R

sprint- 1.7" F and R

and now Neuspeed has their springs out

the RACE springs are 2" F and R

im curious if anyone thinks that 2" is too low ... any idea if Neuspeed springs are good quality ? .. i have no experience with them

thanx

Neuspeed is the sh't....the stuff they do for Volkswagen/Audi is VERY popular. Not many people know they also do Honda/Acura parts as well. This would be a pretty aggressive drop on anything larger than 17's. I think the largest without rubbing would be 17x8. 18's is 18x7, maybe 17.5. Just an estimate, so somebody may have a more accurate take on that.

im looking at doing a 18x7.5 42 offset with a 225 40 18" tire ...

id really love to go with the neuspeeds but id obvis want to make sure that i wont have any rubbing issues

with a 225 series, you may encounter some rubbing, but I don't honestly think it will be as bad as, say 235 series. You may need to roll the fenders a bit. You can do that with a bottle or a baseball bat. It's easy as cake and won't wrinkle your paint.

its prolly a better idea to go with the 1.7" sprint springs .. or go with a 215 40 18" tire and the neuspeed springs ... i wish someone had them already but they are so new that most people dont even know about them

2" front and back? i would have thought neuspeed would have made them higher in the rear.

wow, 2 inch would pretty much make i slammed as a daily driver.

Ive got the teins now with no fender gap (or very minimal) on stock size tires with Lude wheels.

Im getting a set of 205/45/16 inch dunlops tomorrow though which will add to my wheel gap.

So now I might get the neuspeeds unless GC makes sleeves soon.

I checked on the neuspeeds last night and I think I will be going w/ them. I'm getting the bilstein shocks too, but they are like 91 bucks a piece so imma have to wait another 2 weeks until I get paid so I can order the springs and shocks at the same time. I advise anyone else who is getting them to get the shocks too. Two inches is a pretty aggressive drop, and you don't wanna put that much stress on those stock shocks.

I was under the impression we didn't need one due to the new angled suspension. Some one plz correct me if im wrong, I vaguely remember reading that somewhere. If in fact a camber is needed I will wait and just get it when it comes out.

Do you know what camber you're at now with the drop? You may not need the camber kit. I think SPC makes one but some level of camber can actually improve handling. I think TOV said it's between 3 and 5 degrees negative for the Si.
