Anyone have any experience ordering from Hopupracing.com? I'm thinking about springs and some other stuff possibly. As far as springs go, there are so many makers and they're close in price...any suggestions??? I've seen sets made by all of the following:

- RSR, Tein, B&G, Eibach, Sprint, Espelir, Neuspeed, Tanabe, HKS, H&R, Skunk2, Comptech

 

scott can order you pretty much anything - trusted guy and a sponser of nes2ko

or try the group buy section

Jeff aka Cubs (another nes2ko board of directors member) and i installed these in his car in about two hours and six beers - he can give advise on the springs

 

You also have to decide if you want adjustability. If that is something you want or will want in the future save for a set of coils. Or if you want to keep the stock shocks get a set of Gound Controls. I would stay away from the usual suspects that product less than par equipment (Skunk2 etc etc)

I would get the espelir springs if that's all you want is a little drop and bit more study of a ride. The next jump would be a set of Koni's and GCs. After that you are talking big money: KW, Moton, JRZ, Koni DA, etc...

Just do something that will actually make the car handle better. I'm sure Legal Bill will chime in and agree with my statement. The stock suspension is more than enough for most people.

But for $180, the espelir springs are a good buy.

thanks for the input guys! I had coilovers on a civic that I set all the way down and never touched for looks and handling...therefore I think springs are the better choice in my situation. I don't want junk so I'll shoot for a better brand.

 

Eibach is what you saw in my car on saturday on the stock struts. I auto-x competitively on them but they do need a smooth hand as rebound is alot more aggressive.

I think I'll be going Espelir then...I'd never heard of them but they seem like a good deal. I'm going to order them from Hopup. When they arrive does someone feel like helping me with the install??? I'll do the dirty work but it would be nice to have a guide. Ben...I guess I won't be getting the Tein's then...thanks for the offer though.

Ryan, you should order them from Jeff @ Evolution, click on the link that Bass posted.

You should always support sponsors of this board, they help keep the place open.

 

I overlooked the link. I never even clicked on it until now. I'm definitelly for supporting local vendors. I've sent the message to Evolution that I'm ready to purchase...thanks for all of the help guys. I'll be anxiously awaiting their arrival which will hopefully be before autoX weekend!

 

I got mine from the Evolution group buy!

First class outfit!
