16" Wed Sport SA90's w/tires

hey thanks a lot for the help
ok so yea springs is what i was looking at too from the beginning but then the whole coilover, struts, and other things came in so i kinda got confused

ok so next q, lets say i drop my car and keep the stock springs for winter time. so lets say after a few months winter comes around, i put my stock springs back in, any problems in doing this? what would i need to do other than alignment? thanks again

other than a proper aligmnet, nothing really. unless you get like 4inches of snow, u wouldnt really need to change them out.

but just to be on the safe side, id want to plus i got the stock wheels with 80% tread remaining on them, as for snow, yea u never know how much u can get, so i do wanna put my stock springs back on. but thanks for all the info, appreciate it

iono i heard of some horror stories of ppl puttin on lowering springs on stocker struts with a good amt of mileage on them.

the better more reputable full coilovers cost about 1500 or more i think

one last question, how stiff r the srpings

Also remember that if you change the springs, you WILL have to change the struts as well.

The spring constant will vary from company to company. You'll have to ask the distributor or company directly.

what would be a decent set? im not looking at anything too expensive
as for struts, ill just keep em stock since im lookin at nothin more than a 1.5 inch drop

All lowering springs of some type have a stiffer spring constant than stock and WILL ruin your stock struts prematurely. So it's better that you wait and replace everything, or don't do it at all.

Tein S Techs or H Techs will do the job nicely.

s tech if you dont want to change out your struts... saw them for $192 free shipping on fleabay.

btw. someone corect me if im wrong, i dont think tein makes anything for 93-97. i can only find 98+. hmmm.....

They should be backwards compatible

mine is 205/50/r16 and i do not rub

why do you say stechs if you dont want to change your struts? they give you 1.9in front and 1.4in bck drop...

looks like you have a 7th gen, r u lowered? if yes kinda springs do you have and r u on stock struts?

u have a 8th gen, could be possible it might work for u, but for the 7th gens, i doubt itll clear, could be done, but i dont know, can u post pics of your car from the side. also how much r u lowered?

umm what are these?? lol for $50 bucks????

Don't go generic and don't do dropzones. It's all garbage. I've been regretting what I did 6 years ago. I should have saved and gotten real coilovers.

It's never too late to do the right thing

That's what I'm planning to correct if I can get a job. LOL

so u regret your OBX coilovers?
as for any tein's theres nothing for 7th gen's out there all 8 and up
now im not sure what springs to get lol
kyb or tokico's could be an option

the guy says these surpass eibach and H&R's. thats a mothful anyone heard of this brand? Vogtland??

Yes. Vogtland are the best. And 8th gen springs work on 7th gens too. I would recommend Tokico's.

i cant find any on ebay, where can those be purchased from? im liking the vogtlands

kinda offtopic
this is for torres, i dont know exactly what that logo means but there was this civic in my area that came to a meet with that same logo on it

it means student driver in japan. idiot ricers...

lol

im thinking of getting those vogtland's, theyre the same price price as tokicos's
my question was, now when they say 1.8 inch front and 1.5 in the back, do they mean theyre already are dropped or is that showing how much they can be dropped?

Eibach, H&R, Vogtland, Tein, etc. All considered crap on other forums. I have H&R and agree. They are lower, but are not stiff enough to prevent you from bottoming out. You know that big bang sound every time you hit a big bump or pothole, that's the sound of bottoming out. My car is now a bumpstop thumping machine. Tokico/KYB with the above lowering springs is such a noob ass setup. Your ride will be crap. If you don't care about ride quality go for it. This stuff sucks so bad, I am going back to stock springs. If you must lower, Road Magnet is the only company that makes a lowering spring stiff enough to keep you off your bumpstops, but you would have to get Koni inserts to handle the high rates.

koni inserts?? whats that? u mean struts?

dude dont confuse him more than he already is.

93, the drop indicated is the drop it will give you. so yeah they are already dropped.

inserts, is an "insert" cylinder you put inside the srtut body. but you have to cut open your strut.

oh really???? so when i order springs, i have to be sure exactly how much i want and then order em??? man i was hoping to see them on my ride and then if i think they need a slight more drop i could adjust but yea then i i guess they become adjustable coilovers which are far more expensive. this blows

as for inserts, i gota u on that, but yea, i dont wanna do anything of that sort, now so many springs to choose from lol which one do i go for?!?! and yea i dont want them bouncing up and down when i go over bumps, basically the stiffer they are, the better

personaly... i went with eibach. they have around 5k miles on them and they never had me bottom out. and i drive alot on mexican pothole filled streets on 17s

It's all about real coilover setups. Save up and get some Tein or JIC coilovers. Or Cusco or Toda.

thats your 7th gen in the sig?
whats your drop front and bck?

yea well i really dont have the kind of money for a real coilover setup
