Should call Skunk2 themselves since they are the one who manufactures the springs

The Skunk2 website has actually 2 different sets of numbers... Note the chart below:



However if you select "Buy Now" for the 06+ Civic it states its 2.25/2

I have these springs on a FA5 and I got around a 2" drop... thats not 100% accurate since I didn't measure before and after, so I'm just using a SWAG measurement. However it may be less of a drop on a FG considering the slight weight difference between the two models.

What is the actual part number for the Tein S-Tech springs for a FA5?

hey i just want my car(07 LX sedan) really low, like slammed low, how much drop do you guys suggest? er are there any springs you guys suggest? i saw a set of neuspeeds there with a 2.0 drop... but im not sure.

oh yah and btw FA5Si; in my search for springs i found 1 so far you forgot.
megan makes a spring kit part number MR-LS-HC06 F/R: 1.5", Springs rate: 250F & 220R

[George77]

Hey guys does anyone know if I can lower the car(Si 06) only by changing the springs? And how much(inches) is it "save" without doing the alignment with camber kit.
Cuz I was told to be done it right would cost $2000?!?!?!?!?!?!

[Phalanx]

Are these drop rates Before or After the springs have settled? I was talking to a shop about what I wanted to do to my FG1, and I want to avoid (for a while at least) doing a full suspension overhaul. I just want to lower it a bit to get a better stance. He recommended that I could lower about 1.0" without having to really worry about my suspension getting screwed up.

Thanks!

im planning to get a coilover kit 4 my 4dr si and they told me that the 2dr & 4dr si coilovers are just d same & i wont have any problems... is it gonna be ok? thnx..

[wildcard]

I wanna know if the springs for a 4dr or for a 2dr are the same because a friend of mine busted his SI coupe and is selling me his teins S and i have a 4dr coupe Si (both cars are 2007 model)

I have a hard time searching for spring rates of the different coil-overs and springs out there. I've done multiple searches, and have found nothing. Maybe I'm blind? Regardless, nothing popped up and slapped me in the face.

I think it would be to everyone's benefit if we started a thread that had the spring rates of all the coil-overs and springs out on the market. This way, if someone does a search, bam, this is thread is sure to pop up.

Im sure is you go to the companies site they will have it listed there. I know Tein does.

[Jardiniboy]

After we have most of the other car's spring rate, it should be a sticky.

[shutter13]

hmm h-techs or prokit?

[02SilverSiHB]

progress shows the same part number for the si and the non si sedans/coupes...unfortunetly I just found this out the day after I ordered them :P

but here's the spring rate and drop info

Front Rear

1.3” 1.2”

240 lbs. 330 lbs.


Well after doing some searching, I guess it won't be too bad, stock spring rate in front is 200 and rear is 230...so that should work out pretty good for me.

[sgtpruitt]

I've said this before.....this is a great idea with a lot of parts. Good thought.

Anyone know the weight of the car and the weight distribution? (stock Coupe/Sedan)

[Cookstar]

I added the stock '06 Si coupe springs to the list. I got the rates from here:
