German noob searching for suspension... please HELP!!!

CivicSi907 · 02-24-2008, 03:36 PM

Hello Friends!

In about 1-2 months Im getting my NHBP Si and then first I want to lower the car. It must be at least a drop of 1.6", still more is better.

I thought about to get good springs (Tein) and height-adjustable shocks. So the if I need also a camber kit.

What would you recommend to me?

Springs and Shocks or a Coilover? Surely all both with camber kit, but which camber kit?

Thank you for helping me!

Thomas

If you just want a drop I wouldn't waste money on coils.

1.6"...get Neuspeed SPORT (1.6") not RACE (2.0").

Then get a set of SPC front camber bolts and SPC rear camber arms and call it a day.

Once koni shocks are out you can put those on and really improve your car's handling!

Are the Neuspeed really good? Because I've never heared about this Brand before i joined this forum.

When will the Koni shocks come out?

Where can i buy the Neuspeed springs and the camber kit at once? Shipping to germany must be available!

I'm pretty sure Corsport ships to Germany.

I wouldn't really worry about the brand quality with springs.. You can't really mess up springs and Neuspeed has been around for a while now anyway.

If you're still worried about quality get eibach sportlines and call it a day.

If neuspeed is a german brand, why can't I buy it in germany? There arent for sale here! Should i contact neuspeed?

I apologize, Neuspeed is an American company that's been around since the 1970s.

They've still made Honda products for a while now and I haven't really heard of any problems with them.

Better for looks or handling performance of the car?

SPC or Skunk 2 for camber.
