Where to buy OEM Springs???

Or equivalents. Seems like all aftermarket springs lower the car. I DO NOT WANT TO LOAWER MY CAR. I am just revamping the suspension. Am I stuck buying OEMs? Or is there an equivalent out there for a better price?

Thanks!

Eibach pro-kits. They wont drop your car hardly at all and you will have a little bit stiffer ride.
You will hardly notice the drop, like, at all.

I got an ebay special - 4 shocks Tokico's HP and springs- $365. Lowered the car slight;y- barely noticeable. Changed the bushings- polyurethane, front & rear. Chrsit Almighty!!! This car can turn. No more oversteer. She glides into turns at 60mph, on an exit ramp i had to do 45 tops on. And this w/o new sway bars. I can only imagine what new sway bars would do. definitely happy. Glad teh car not too lowered. I can barely notice it and it's been 250 miles.

i got stock springs for a 3.0 just sitting in my basement. I'm also in nj if you wanna work something out. Are you 2.x or 3.0? You can have them "dirt cheap"............

What kind of bushings kit did you get? Energy Suspension's?

I was thinking of overhauling my suspension too...

I got the energy suspension lit for an Accord. The front poly sways worked well, but the rears I had to get at a store. Go to federal mogul's website, then go to Moog suspension, then click on the left tab- Catalog, and look up your car. Certain auto parts will tell you rear sways are dealer items but that's not true- it's just not in their computer program for teh parts (I used to work in retail auto parts. I forget the No., but it starts with K902... something, 5 digit No.. Autopartswarehouse may have them as well. I tell ya, the difference in cornering was very noticeable. Only thing better is new sway bars.
The tokicos are very aggresive and firmer than stock. But dropped it about an inch to 3/4. Noticebale, but still able to drive in snow. In Jersey and NY, we need that.
best of luck
