Lowering my sedan??

[Michael Perez]

Guys, I have an Si and the stock ride height makes me feel like I'm entering the WRC. For the time being I'm staying on stock wheels.

I really like the D2 coils but its hard to justify spending $975 to lower my car :/ what are other advantages?

As for springs it seems Eibach and H&R are it ($230-235 is a bit easier to justify) However which are u guys using? what are the real life drop numbers? and do either of the springs require camber kits?? and what happens to the shock life??

I'm just looking to close the wheel gap and reduce body roll.
Any help would be great guys, Thanks
Mike

a ton of examples in this thread for sedans -

All depends on what you want. People running coilovers usually want to be lower than what a spring swap gives. Maybe some 8th users can comment on how long their stock shocks lasted, and what springs they were on

Go with the Megan Racing EZ Streets for like $675

It sounds like the eibach Springs will do exactly what you want. They will lower the car a little over 1 inch and you should not need a camber kit. They also improve the ride and likely won't affect the life of the shock absorbers too much.

Are the megans reliable? And the H&R require camber kits? Maybe eibach is the way to go then :/

im on 8th gen megan racing springs, they drop you about 1.75 all the way around. if you lurk the 8th gen forums you can find a used set for cheap.

But if the H&R requires a camber kit wouldn't megan racing? It drops even more no?

 

[Michael Perez]

can anyone clarify if H&R requires camber kit? i so i have to go with the eibach

Such a nice drop. How much did you pay for those springs? And is that all you have on that setup?

 

[thevietkid33]

thanks, I paid 65 shipped. I got a used set from the 8thcivic forum. And im also running 15mm in the front and 20mm spacers in the rear.

 

[Asteezy88]

That's so cheap lol how much was each spacer?

 

[thevietkid33]

125 each
