Cuz I think I'm going to go waste more money on my suspension and go back to springs/struts, but I want more drop than the Comptech sport springs I had way-back-when, but still a slight rake.

I guess Koni yellows will be the struts.


edit - actually how are the Eibach Pro-Kits and the Eibach Sportlines?

Are the sportlines much stiffer? The drop sounds good!

i think the back drop they list is false. i did 2.2 H&r in the front and 1.7 prokit in the back and my car sits even. i did have h&r all the way around but the back was lower than the front, a look I HATE. maybe mine is a tad higher in the back but not like a comptech rake. do what im gonna do and GET THE TEINS ...end all this BS

Sportlines drops about 2.5" after about 1 week to settle.
It rides just a tad rougher than stocks, but not by much...
I don't know about others, but these are progressive springs, so they're not at all harsh like coil-overs w/ linear springs.

I definitely want a tiny bit of rake just to prevent the saggy-ass look of an even drop, that's why im looking at the Eibachs. Are the Sportlines really an even drop all around then, like the Pro-Kits? Are Tim's numbers at ACP wrong?

I really don't want to deal with coilovers again if I can find a nice set of springs with the right height settings.


My Nex SS are fine except that I like the height I'm at but at this height they are pretty stiff and I can't adjust the stiffness without changing the height.


Chikai said with his Teins he was bottoming out until he put them to the stiffest setting. And he only has 2k miles on them. What if they soften more?

I think I'd rather go back to a normal spring/strut combo so I don't have to worry about bottoming and also get a nicer ride while at a nice drop (hopefully... gotta find the right set of springs).

My friend has a CL-S with a Pro-Kit drop and I think it looks dope as hell. I wish I went that low with mine!!!!!!

Can someone with Pro-Kits and stock rims measure for me from the center of your wheel centercap to the top center edge of your wheelwell and tell me the numbers for your fronts and for your rears?


Stock is 15.5" I believe.
Comptech sport springs drop is 14.0" front, 14.5" rear (as advertised - 1.5"/1.0")
My coilovers right now are at 13.4" front/13.8" rear

So if I could find a set of sport springs that drop 2" front, 1.75" rear, I'd be set.

This is my current drop.

If I could do it all over again.. I would of listened to Chikai and spent the 995 and got the Teins... but oH no Smitty can't listen to someone more experienced then him...LOL.... I didn't want to spend the money, but I will sooner or later...

You're coming from comptech springs on stock shocks (which I had at one time too). I'm coming from coilovers.

I want 2"/1.75" sport springs and Koni yellows.

SinnedTL

I say go for the H&R race springs which has almost the same drop as the H&R sport springs in the rear but has like a 0.25 - 0.5 inches more drop in the front, which astroboy had on his TL...btw I have the sport springs and it's a perfectly EVEN drop...btw Eibach's price doesnt justice the sagging rear end...

JRock

Cool, I completely missed the H&R race springs listing at ACP.

The numbers look good (2.2"/1.75") but are they bouncy at all?

Also I see the Koni yellow rears are backordered. I'll have to email him and see what the ETA is.

Be careful, all the H&R drops are listed for the accord and seem to drop more for the TLS/CLS, and not evenly so, for some reason, the back seems to drop more.
