Of course it would. He's going to put OEM CTR springs on OEM CTR shocks.

EK|B,

Are OEM CTR springs are lower?

 

[EJFERIO]

yeah. they are. I think if im not mistaken like 3/4 in. drop somethin like that.

What's the difference between the ctr springs and OEM stock spring besides height?

The spring rate. Its a thread in the Suspension/Wheel forum.

96-00 EX factory 165F/80R (P/P)
99-00 Si (EM1) factory 201F/99.8R (P/P)
CTR factory 240/240 (L/P)

Here is the link to the Thread. It explains what Progressive and Linear springs are too.

I paid maybe $200 for front and rear (complete shocks / springs). It was through some importer in canada. I bought them a long time back and haven't been able to find a set again.

I love them because it's the perfect compromise between stiff / handles nice and a comfortable drive.

Try www.jdmland.com under used parts. I saw it listed there a while back.

Im with you guys.
I bought a EK9 (full CTR swap on a EK4 body) last week and its fitted with CTR shocks and progressive springs and the setup is amazing.
Handling /stiffnes is great end and the ride is very conmfortable.
Im even seriously thinking about staying with that setup and not swap the Tein SS i currently have in my EK (that was my inicial plan).

Good luck with the search.

Just made a thread witj a couple of pics of the cars.
