Get Eibach Pros. They drop your car no more than an inch, and look great. I just installed mine a few weeks ago. Oh, and the ride is like stock.

 

Thanks Sol for the reply

Yea that what I was leaning towards.

I guess I am just of messing up the stock settings. I had springs done on my accord when I was in undergrad and the car basically bounced and squeaked.

I understand the S has more durable componnets, but I just want to make sure.


BTE...any good places in So Cal anyone?

 

When it comes to this car's suspension, tread lightly and do your homework. It would be easy to turn your car into an ill-handling monster that eats up tires and then becomes a brute when driving aggressively on the street. You could easily find yourself spending a ton of money on this car's suspension only to find yourself very frustrated with the results. You've already taken the first step by asking here. Since this car has double wishbone arms at all four corners, make sure your journey takes this design into account. I was just reading about suspension/steering geometry in one of the import car magazines and it went into great detail what you are asking. The technical article went into indepth detail about suspension and how changing one component(lowering) affected the other components. The article stated emphatically that lowering too much can have a drastically negative impact on a car's suspension charateristics and make it handle horribly in the corners. You might assume that lowering a car's proximity is an automatic improvement in cornering handling. Not true! Other variables come into the equation. Lowering a car puts greater force on the outer tires contact patch. This excessive force is typically offest by harsher dampening of the shock/strut and then by also using a stiffer spring(rate). Typically, what you will see is that as a car gets faster, its suspension gets stiffer. Here is where it gets interesting. Modern day car's suspension technology is derived and learned from motorcycle motocross/supercross suspension development of 20 years ago. That's right! Today's motocross/supercross racing motorcycles have suspension systems that are so far advanced that these systems and knowledge will show up on our street cars in about 5 years. These motorcyle suspension designs are so far advanced that when these machines land off of huge jumps, they simply stick to the ground and don't bounce. Watch any video of any recent supercross/motocross race and pay special attentiion to the suspension of the bikes and you'll see what I mean

Join the club Archon007!
So I'm not the only one;posted Kg/mm.

 

i am lowered on tanabe gf 210's... rides like stock.. but no body roll...
im so used to lowering cars and getting a shitty ride after , like bounciness...
but in the S i got no difference from stock... definitly lower it

 

my suggestions are kg/mm for springs, comptech if you want adjustable springs, and then I went with Tein RA's for coilovers if you want to go that route. Not sure what your budget is, but if you can go coilovers, go for it. There is a huge difference.

 

another one on eibachs-
and the alignment after they settle in is a good idea... mine sits on an "aggressive street alignment":

 

Wanabe, how low is your car from stock hight?
