lowering my ride
- Thread starter jacksplat
- Start date
My car is dropped 1.3 in front and 1.0 in the rear and I run stock shocks with no issues so far
I have Tein H Tech Springs.
All other springs are lower and the lower you go the more potenial for problems and need for a camber kit.

true coilovers will cost u close to a grand toocivicsi94 said:
close is a subjective word... my coilovers were about a grand TEIN SS, but i think you can get TEIN basics for around $700? which is a lot better in my opinion than stock s**t.....civicracing98 said:true coilovers will cost u close to a grand too
hey but its worth it in the long run. also beats sometimes u get coilovers and the shocks u get arent compatible with the coilovers u bought. and omni power is like 800 for the whole set up. camber kit and all. and tein basic can be found around the 600-700 dollar range or so if u look hard enough. u dont need a high performance setup. unless u autocrossing or its a show car or something....
Nope no Sagging So Far.
The High Techs are made out Vanadium which is lighter and more flexiable then other springs and is guaranteed not to sag.
I have Stock SiR 15's with 205/50/15 Tires. If i take my index finger and put it on top of my middle finger I can fit the two in between the tires and wheels wells.
Car looks nice in IMO if i had a Digital Cam I would take pic so you could see.

Tein is very overrated. I payed 865 shipped for Koni's and custom Ground Controls (400lb frnt/450lb rear rate. They are better than Tein ever could be. They are ride height ajustable, 5 way ajustable, and the koni's have a life time warrenty. Don''t jump on the Tein JDM wannabe band-wagon. Go with what is good and fast. Koni has been racing alot longer than tein....and are superior in my opinion.oc_civic said:

you try to find brand new koni yellows for under 400 and then let me know 400 for koni's and 400 for the custom ground controls *new* was a deal.
Basically any coilover setup under 1000 dollars is not going to be near as good as anything above 1000 dollars, you get what you pay for. Thats why the koni/ground control is better. It offers $1200+ performance at a much lower price. If tein is alot better as well....why would the top SCCA solo II drivers use Koni and Ground Controls and NOT tein?
there is no way to have this agument with you... i went with TEIN im happy with it.. have i ever had the setup you have.. no i have not.. you are more than entitled to your opinion on which setup handles the best.. all i know is i wanted a decently handling ride while being mild in feel for daily driving... and i feel that i got that.. if he wants what you have then by all means go for, i certainly dont give a f**k.. i was simply presenting my thoughts on the matter.. i previously had ground controls on stock stuff and that sucked.. that i do know.. and i fully understand it was not the coilovers fault...99ExCoupe said:
