Default Who has what lowering springs - not coilovers

So I really want to drop the S, 100% for cosmetic purposes, but I'm not looking for a harsh ride or something that's going to have me bottoming out later. I was thinking of the Tanabe GF210 or the Eibach Prokits since they claim a drop of about .8-1.0 inches. If I ever get wheels (I'd love to but too much $$$ right now) I'd still go 17's and be conservative so that shouldnt be an issue.

So who's got what? And if you have either of the two I mentioned can I get a ride in your car at the next meet to feel what they're like before I buy?

I drove another S with an Eibach springs drop, 1". It's not very noticeable, the ride was perfectly fine. I got back into my S after and I didn't notice much of a difference in terms of ride quality. I don't think you'll bottom out. Just use caution (as you would in a stock S) when negotiating driveways and you should be fine.

How is the coating holding up? My HA's in my Prelude went to crap quick and turns me off on TEIN's now.

the S suspension is a lot beefier compared to an accord, civic, or an integra... it can handle the aftermarket springs...

to the OP i have swifts and i couldnt be happier... i dont bottom out, the ride quality is almost exactly like stock, and the drop is perfect for me...

Swift

and my buddy has the hookup so let me know if your interested

i had neuspeed springs on the stock shocks for a long time, they rode fine, didnt find it any more harsh or bouncy than stock, but neuspeed claims a drop of like 1.5 or so, its really more like a 2 inch drop....looked great tho
