^^^ your gonna cut your springs? what is this a civic forum?
Well here is the deal ... I ordered my ksports should be here tomorrow. So I decided to mess with the springs and cut them . I cut 2 coils all the way around, drop looked nice and it handled actually better ... ride quality was the same .
Hey where did everybody get there esperlir springs what's the best price you found . Iam trying to order some soon those or skunk 2 or nuespeed
I got my Espelir Springs from a guy from s2ki or just do a little searching. If I remember vivid racing also has the springs I picked mine up for $200. I post up pictures later.
Im dropped on Koni Yellow's and H&R Sport Springs. Bottom Perch and hardest setting all the way around...the back sits a little higher than the front. Also, I know that some people have been complaining that the driver's side sits higher than the pass. side. Mine does the same thing, until I get in the car. I weigh 165lbs and the car seems to even out when I am in the driver seat. Think it was done on purpose. idk
I wouldnt pay more than 100-125 to have them installed, its super easy. As for espelir ASDs, is my car the only one that tucks tire front and rear with these springs? How come everyone else has wheel gap still, ap1 wheels with stock tire size...i really would like to trade them for something else, they are too low!
I have the RS*R TI200 springs. These springs are made with titanium,
From the website, RS*R describes the springs as:
"The lowering spring has been around for ages. But the materials, treatments and technology to which each spring is made from has now taken a new turn. With cutting edge technology, the Ti2000 springs are composed of titanium, providing weight reductions of 25% compared to the traditional lowering spring. Along with weight reductions, the Ti2000 springs have improved resistance to corrosion, spring strength, and responsiveness."
I have had these springs on my car for a few years now, and love them.
Specs on the springs:
Lowering 20mm front/35mm rear, or .8/1.4
Spring rate 4.68kg front/5.95kg rear, or 262/332
RS*R is the biggest aftermarket spring mfg in Japan. This is one of their best they make.
This pic is before I did the install, on 17" BBS RGR
Here are a few shots of after, on 17" BBS RGR
With stock wheels
On Simmons 17" 3 piece wheels
Did you have to add camber or roll fenders or anything like that with that setup? You said it lowered it .8 inch in front and 1.3 inch in back? What is the purpose of lowering back more than front?
i installed a set of espelir springs, and i like the drop, but the ride height seems slightly uneven.
the rear right sits like .5 cm higher than the rear left, and on uneven ground, it's even more pronounced.
i haven't gotten an alignment yet... could that be part of the problem?
i think it was preloaded correctly, but could preloading be part of the issue?
