are the AP1 shocks interchangable? By that I mean are they valved the same or different? I would guess different but not all that different. I am thinking to put the 291 lb AP1 springs on my 03 with the CR front suspension. I like the idea of a stock height suspension upgrade and it would be cheaper than getting the rear CR stuff not to mention a little stiffer than the CR. I was thinking to try that setup and then fine tune it with sway bar changes. Any thoughts

So what would be the best springs to run on factory shocks.

Definitely a matter of opinion. In my case I would say Eibach Pro-Kit, only because I used them with success for over 50k miles. Later I installed Koni Yellows and realized how soft the OEM shocks had become. The drop on the Eibach is nice and even at about 1" all around.

Espilir is popular as is Tein and Ground Controls - which give you height adjustablilty as well as customized spring rates.

Can't go wrong with any of those.

Eibach pro kit, hands down. You guys can't skimp on springs, I see allot of you guys looking at a particular spring because it cost $50 less. Don't do that, you invested in a high performing car, it desurves the best quality/performing springs and so do you. Coilovers are best, but if you can't aford those at least get the best springs that have lots of R&D. -1 f/r 20% stiffer but a strait rate spring designed just for the S, not like a lengthened civic spring your putting on. I ran on them with factory shocks for 2 years without a hicup, they add more steering precision, less body roll, better overall handing above stock, worth every penny of the $250. Has a million mile warrenty. Anything else is a gamble to try and match, let alone surpass.

I can't believe this thread is still going.

This is meant to be an on-going thread for people to post up their springs questions, choices, opinions and pics of installs.

BTW, I am testing their million mile warranty.....currently approaching 200k!!!!

Hockey, that's a 1" gap all around with the Koni Yellows on the lower of the 2 setting in back, right?

My Eibachs always sat too high in the rear with stock shocks.

Koni Yellows have a lot more dampening than the stock shocks.
