Questions about lowering an EK?

[LilLowEK]

For what it's worth I've been riding on Tein Stech springs on factory struts for about 8 years. It gives I think a 1.9 up front and 1.7 in the rear. The ride quality isn't bad. I still am fairly impressed. With this setup you shouldn't need any added camber products. You can get away adjusting the rear camber with some longer bolts and some washers.

Everyone needs to start some where. I've had no desire to change due to the road conditions here.

My budgets really tight right now, so i might just go with springs for now.
Is there any other good spring brands beside Tein Stech, and what about Skunk2 lowering springs?

Thanks again for all the help

If your going with lowering springs then I'd look into eibach springs. All around great springs

[JDMswagSerf]

eibach sportline with maybe some tociko shocks that are able to handle a 1" drop so you don't lose all ride quality

To be honest, I say save some extra money and get some decent coilovers or coilover sleeve/shock combo. It will save you from buying stuff twice. Ask me how I know???LOL

heres a good price on coilovers
96-00 TEIN BASIC DAMPER DRIVING MASTER COILOVERS NGK SPARK PLUGS - Honda-Tech

I have to agree about the Tein springs, I have them on my DD an they are fantastic.
I have also heard good things about Raceland coilover a, full coilover a for around $350. Make no mistake, they are entry level, and only offer height adjustments. I would say do some more research on your own and get what makes sense for you

That's what I'm saying. For around 200 bucks you can get a good quality lowering spring from a legit manufacturer.

For daily driving and ride quality these guys are making sense right here. Get the springs for now, once you feel the shocks starting to go then pickup new ones. Ive ran on lowering springs before and they were way more comfortable than the coilovers i have now, and i never had any issues with bottoming out or anything like that.

[Kloozork]

Yeah I've made my decision!
I'm just going to get springs for now and eventually get some shocks somewhere down the line

[Beedoh]

Get some adjustable sleeves at least, youll be able to control how low it is.

you can also get raceland coilovers for around 400 bucks a lot of people say dont do it dont do it but i have a bunch of friends that have them and love them and they also sell extended top hats for a bigger shock travel and it makes more for comfert and can be slammed but you can get like tein springs and that will ride confertable but its all about you and if you want to get wheels id say 15s and get like a 205/45/15 tire that will be good for you

teins s tech on stock shocks are great!

my teins were a 100$ and it's just as good ride or maybe even better than stock.
