neuspeed or eibach?

Which one is better? I know a lot of people in this board have either the eibach pro kit or the sportlines and I have seen some people in here with neuspeeds. how do they compare drop, ride quality, price?

This is a topic that you will receive very different responses with. Personally, i have the eibach pro kit with agx shocks, great ride with huge conering increase. This drop is basically the minumum drop you can do to get performance. This appealed to me because most people don't need a camber correction kit with the prokit, saves you some cash. But my complaint is, the eibach kits don't drop the front lower than the rear, making the car look slightly uneven. The front tire gap is larger than the rear. Search one of my older threads, i took pics to show the before and after with a ruler. If i had to do it again, i prob would have gotten the neuspeeds with the camber kit. Also, i didn't plan on installing myself, which saved me the 150-200 i would have spent on the camber kit.

I like the neuspeeds, they sit a little lower than the regular eibachs and they ride really well. I cant say what the ride is like with eibachs, never been in a cl with them

wow are the chamber kits that much? are they hard to install or do they have to be professionally adjusted? if so that will add to the cost since i was planning on installing the springs and shocks my self.

1genCL I went to the neuspeed website and could not find one for the 1st gen cls. I have a 2.2 do you know if an accords will fit? also what shocks and chamber kit do you have?

yeah i didn't want to spend cash on the camber kit and pay for the install of that.(prob around 150-200) Camber is something that i don't want to freg around with. But changing the springs and shocks was well worth the money saved.

I have the neuspeeds Sports 2 inch drop with KYB AGX. Its a really nice ride and it looks tight! It eliminated the tire gap. I personally would like the neuspeed better than Eibach because it just give you a lower look and the same ride quality with performance shocks.

I have the eibachs and like them although girls always notice the bumps and say something about it being an acura and so bumpy. Maybe when i get new shocks it wont be so bad but i have a feeling it will just be stiffer. I like the look of the neuspeeds and they are cheaper for the most part but i think i would stick to the pro kits just for ride quality issures cause im assuming the lower drop much be much stiffer JMO

So, If I understand this correctly, Nuespeeds require a camber kit??

would the Nuespeed's springs for a 94-97 v6 accord fit the 3.0cl? Can anybody tell me where i can't get some Nuespeed's springs for my 3.0? I'm have enought of these Maxspeed coil-over.

ACURA-C I think because the Nuespeed's spring give you a lower drop that's why you'll want a camber kit. The Eibach doesn't drop that low.

www.aieonline.com is where you can find the neuspeeds (only $129!!!) for the 3.0. I'm looking at getting them myself, but I'm not sure about the camber kit bit. It claims a 1.5" in the rear and 1.75" in the front. Anybody have 'em with, without?

Couldn't you do an alignment after you lower the car? i heard camber kit wear out. I wanna go with the Nuespeed cuz of the lower drop, then get an alignment. Will that work?

Can you guys please be more specific about 'nice ride'?

I've had my pro-kits for about 3 years now. Definitely goes thru the corners with less roll and looks much nicer than stock. I drive in the city quite frequently and going over bumps the car feels rough(not bouncy) as I feel just about every minor bump. Lately, I've actually thought about putting the stock springs back on....

I'm thinking maybe I got a bad set of springs, so please describe your 'nice ride'. If I think its just my springs, I might get a new set then.
