SO mine is a 2.3cl with 210,000 miles on it...my question is

(1) Will the OEM springs become softer as the yrs/miles go higher??? I mean will they lose its original stifness???

(2) if YES then where can I get some nice custoem tuned springs...any web site....I mean I don't want to drop it but probably get some springs that are a little bit stiffer than the OEM ones were....


Thankx

Custom tuned springs? You mean coilovers? If you don't want to drop it, just buy new cl or accord springs. or the Eibach Sportlines. Those should be stiffer. I noticed that my springs or shocks are pretty soft now. I think it's the shocks tho. It will give me a GREAT excuse to drop the car.

 

just get aftermarket springs witha slight drop. and some new shocks. there are several applications for moderate drops. just avoid the Prokit.

 

Yes!!!

EIBACH Springs

in the future u gonna replace your shocks too!!

 

Oh I forgot to mention I already changed all 4 struts with KYB GR2's.....

 

But the freaking thing is still soft and rolls/lifts like an airplane during sharp turns....

 

So just get new OEM springs from a CL or accord. Or a slight drop with Sportlines. Were talking barely and inch drop. The Prokit will give you a "boating" effect which could lower the back but not front.

 

Springs don't really loose stiffness, your shocks will

 

so blackack what u r saying that I have to live with this roll/lift........aggggggggggggggrrrrrr

Well I did soem serach on ebay all I see is lowering springs...which one whould I get to have the stifness with out a drop or maybe a little bit of a drop...

 

sportlines will drop your car at least 1.75 inches, thats not a slight drop. The prokit would be more of what he is looking for, a little stiffer springs with an almost unnoticable drop.

 

Get eibach prokit it's a mild drop, ninja doesn't know wtf he's talking about. Sportlines are a good drop, prokit is mild and slightly stiffer than stock springs

 

you want a crisp ride without a suspension upgrade? not gonna happen. honda/acuras need to be lowered and have adjustable shocks for any sort of improvement in handling.

you have 2 options IMO
1) Take the majority of this forum's advice and slam your car a good 1.5-2", with some AGX or Koni Shocks
2)Accept the fact that it will handle like shit until you do #1
3) Buy another car, like a BMW...those handle very good stock.

 

lowering honda's center of gravity with good sway bars will improve the handling

 

<~~Clapping for that simple but effective answer.

 

Seriously ninja if you don't know what you're talking about please don't pretend we try to answer peoples' questions accurately

 

Edited!

By the way, the roll/lift is because of that ride hight. That is kinda the purpose of a drop. To eliminate that stuff.

 

How about the "Neuspeed Sport Springs" any feedback on these????

I also lilke the EIBACH PROKIT SPRINGS they lilke $232 incliding shipping on ebay is it a good prices

 

If you look at the noob guide, it will tell u that the neuspeed sport springs will lower your car a good 2 inches. I know you're not trying to lower your car like that because of the roads around you, so stick with the Prokit springs, and get some sway bars and your car will handle a little bit better. Not sportscar better, but better than stock. That price is pretty good, i'd say get them, install them, and call it a day.

 

Neuspeeds are a pretty significant drop, unless you really wanna drop your car, I'd go with the prokit, like we said it's just a little stiffer than stock which seems to be what you're looking for. Also get some Suspension Techniques F&R sway bars

 

ok guys sounds good thankx for all the information, advise and support....EIBACH PROKIT SPRINGS ....it is then

Will keep you guys posted on how I make out on these...

 

got one for $217.49 free shipping...from autoanything.com......great deal when I called he gave me an additional 5% off.....so always call and they will give you additional discount I have tried this with a couple of web sites and have asked for discounts....hahah

Now can't wait for them to arrive....

thankx all for the right direction

 

no prob

 

not necessarily true. roll and lift is remedied by sway/tie bars and upgraded shocks. the bars hold the suspension together while the shocks limit the dip by being harder to compress. a drop alone will suffice for most people but upgrading sways/tie bars will take your ride to a higher level of cornering performance.

 

they're adjustable dampers rights? this is probably your problem, set it to a stiff setting.

 

They're not adjustable they're oem replacements

 

crap, i remember now. the agx's are the adjustable ones.

 

yo javed lets meet up again after you get your springs on i wanna see ahaha. photoshoot woot woot! any other cl's in the central nj area come thru too! i still dont know if i wana go springs or coil overs hmm who knows we'll see.

 

you should organize a meet

 

yea that wud be cool. theres alot of hondas around here. i mean their cool n all but im kinda left out ahhaha. the only cl's around me are stock ones.

 

DaInFaMMuS1, yea i wanna see your whip and learn a thing or two lol.

 

Definately f22...once it is done I will post some pics and then we can meet up.....guys here finaly convinced me to go for the drop......dame these guys are addictive.........hahahah but I love it too.......so can't wait till they arrive........

later
Javed

 

yea and u can see my lights i did the black housings with amber corners.

 

I got my Ebach spring deliverd today.....just wanted to know if I will need any kind of Chamber kit to install these........

Or will this be just a straight swap.

Thankx
JFK

 

Javed, these shouldn't need a camber kit due to the mild drop. You will want to get an alignment after you install them though

 

werd definitely align that puppy up.

 

OK sounds good...what a relief.....when I saw the post for the chamber kit and shit I was like ...oh dame now I have deal with the chamber kit and all......

thanks blackack....

 

I'm not going to say I know a thing about those aftermarket springs mentioned, but I can say that any spring in any car, truck, pogo-stick or clicky-pen will sag over time. It's a matter of metal fatigue, and after 210K there's no way it'll compare to a new spring.





LC.

 

C-A-M-B-E-R. haha thank you. i couldnt handle reading 'chamber' anymore.

 

LOL i thought i was the only one!

 

I agree 100%....and that is reason why I posted the question as I could feel the mushyness I mean the car ride perfect but you know it that it is mushy if you are as anul as I am....specially during high speed sweep truns..........but I got the correct info here and the encouragement to buy the springs...wish I could have done this when I replaced the struts would have saved a hell lot of labor time......sucks ......

but now it would be a breeze as the rear lower strut bolt is brand new and will not require the amount time I spend initially......OR WOULD IT????

later...
