Best springs for daily driver?

***david3558*** · 04-17-2008, 02:41 AM

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a set of springs that will obviously lower my vehicle a moderate amount, not too low that I would bottom out ridiculously often. I also want a set of springs which won't squeak and are good for daily driving (and the definite occasional 'spirited driving'

).

So all in all, what is the set of springs you would recommend?

Jardiniboy · 04-17-2008, 04:50 AM

Eibach pro-kit

lionelp · 04-17-2008, 06:12 AM

would you need a camber kit for these?

You don't really need but it's recommended.

Thats what I have and have had it on previous cars as well. I can't imagine going any lower or stiffer for a DD in an area with bad roads at all. I'm in socal and there are chunks of certain highways that have huge abrupt dips (405 south to Santa Monica) that if I don't duck my head I'll smack the ceiling (I'm only 6 feet tall, not anything crazy) and the prokit is only a moderate drop. HFP isn't worth it though in my opinion unlesss you're a heavy autox guy and really don't want a lowered car but want a stiffened suspension... there's barely a noticeable change in ride height with the HFP - go prokit, you won't be dissapointed and I've been at this stupid modding Honda thing for almost 10 years now...

Anyone try H&R springs?

HHondaZC · 04-17-2008, 02:33 PM

I have Progress with no camber kit with no wear and it rides smooth as hell

ZestJDM · 04-17-2008, 03:17 PM

Eibach ProKit +1...
although...i got Eibach Sportline so the car handle even better...and 1.4in drop wont scratch bottom too often if u slow down when u entering plaza or speed bump

***david3558*** · 04-17-2008, 07:30 PM

Oh shit, you're from Diamond Bar too...haha yeah I'm concerned about all those plazas like puente hills and life... so you don't really scratch the bottom with the Sportlines? So how much lower is the Sportline than the ProKit?

woot live right up the street from puente hills mall and i used to go to life like everyother day.

Thinking of gettin SPortlines over the prokit

Johnold · 04-17-2008, 07:44 PM

HFP ftw!. Thats what i'm getting for my DD performance.

newsiguy · 04-17-2008, 07:45 PM

i thought the prokit and the HFP had the same amount of drop....also are you guys running these with stock shocks or Aftermarket?

SoCal07Si · 04-17-2008, 07:47 PM

Tein FTW!!!

Eibach FTDD...

Johnold · 04-17-2008, 07:53 PM

You can't go wrong with the HFP kit cause it's made for our cars. They're just plug and play. No need to swap springs and such. Just take out bolts, take out old and in with new and re-install bolts....good to go!.

SoCal07Si · 04-17-2008, 07:54 PM

HFP doesnt swap springs?

so what is it? just shocks?

Nope. The pro kit actually drops a little more than the HFP. But the HFP is better overall because it had the shocks that matches the rate of the spring.

***david3558*** · 04-17-2008, 08:55 PM

what kind of shocks work well with the PRO-kits?

Johnold · 04-17-2008, 08:56 PM

does Eibach make FULL coilover suspension setups?.
