Although the Neuspeed flame was written a little harsh, there have been mixed opinions regarding the Neuspeed springs -- just do a search for 'Neuspeed springs' and you should find them.

Why not go with a proven spring with positive feedback like the KG/mm's? Just the peace of mind is worth the few extra dollars IMO.

 

oh well, i guess you all dont see it my way then. If you think about it though, it does make you want to think the thought of buying their shit over.I'd also say that a magazines opinion is biased like you said, but don't forget, they're suppost to be biased towards the sponsors, and I've seen Neuspeed adds in their mag, so I'd like to know what they would have published if it wasn't biased. You can definately go by numbers, that's how your suppost to do it, I really don't know what you mean by that. All you S2K owners will brag about having a higher slalom speed and a better skidpad rating than a Porsche, but when it comes to aftermarket manufacturers, it doesn't matter? Well OK! And the wheel thing, CP035s are probably the lightest wheels you can get, I have never seen lighter streetable wheels, if your not awaire, they're suppost to weigh between 7-16lbs or so, depending on how large you get them. Now if you consider the CP035s on the Neuspeed car were rapped in MUCH more expensive rubber than stock, that would also make you wonder what ratings the car would have gotten with stock wheels and tires.

 

Kind of like putting a car on a dyno, you have to make sure all variables are the same before you can compare two different slalom runs. Were the drivers the same? Certainly one could have been better than the other. What about the temperature of the ground? Temperature of the tires?

And I would suggest learning to spell (Oh yeah, even simpler, there's a spell check button at the bottom.) before you try to give us your opinion on things. Especially simple things like, supposed, or aware....And besides, your points have nothing to do with my original question. Keep it on topic. If you have no personal experience with them, then you shouldn't be posting anything at all, since thats what I asked for. If I was looking to improve the handling, I would save up $3000 and get a set of good coil-overs. I really can't afford even these springs right now, but its stupid to pass up a good deal. And if those KG/mm springs run close to the rest at $200, there's no way I can afford them. I'm not lying when I said if I wasn't getting a good deal, then I wouldn't be buying them at all, or even thinking about them.

And I trust mingster's opinion very highly, and did do a search for topics on them, and couldn't find anything. And I'm sure that with anything that changes the handling characteristics, you'll get mixed feedback. Its mostly a persons personal feeling when it comes to handling. Some people like the soft ride, others like the stiffer ride. I actaully wouldn't mind a slightly softer ride.

I wonder if import_car_dork owns an S2K, or is merely logged on as an enthusiast so he can inject some sarcasm into his posts? I also wonder where he really got to see this S2K which was demonstrated by Neuspeed. Their HQ is exactly one mile from my home in Camarillo, CA., and as far as I know, the red S2K they use for all their prototype work does not travel around the country. That S2K is privately owned, and I'd be surprised to know that Neuspeed shipped it to Florida for a slalom demo.

Perhaps Mr. Dork only reads magazines that offer the kind of opinion he supports. Pity I couldn't find the article he refers to, at the superstreetonline web site. Perhaps he should have taken the time to find the relevant web page and given us the proper URL address. It's also too bad that he didn't make any reference to a recent article in Compact Car in which the red S2K (mentioned above) modified by Neuspeed was given a pretty good performance checkout by the magazine, and was very well received.

There are a lot of owners out there who are extremely happy with their Neuspeed parts. From my recollection, there have been very, very few complaints about this company or their products, posted in these forums. I was the second owner to install their SS exhaust, and have never regretted it. Their dyno figures (which I've seen) show a definite 5 HP gain - and my butt tells me that is probably very realistic. IMO, Neuspeed are a first class act, with support, service and products which are some of the best in the aftermarket industry. If Mr. Dork's motive is to alienate S2K owners from Neuspeed, then I think he's chosen the wrong forum, the wrong thread, and the wrong car.

 

your a ****ing idiot if you think you know more than me. I don't know where you come off telling me about the drivers and shit, did you not think about that? Last time I checked, I was talking about results compared from the same magazine, magazines usually use the same driver or a couple of drivers and average the times, so what you said is a blob of shit. I also don't want to hear shit about the temp of the ground, look at what you ****ing post, the tests were done around the same time of year, in the same area, not to mention the fact that test drivers know tires should be at correct operating temps before testing. So why don't you think about questions you ask before telling me what I need to think about before expressing my opinion.

 

ok then, maybe mister ****face needs to read his own posts and shut the **** up. Have you listened to yourself? You tell me I shouldn't rely on magazines for an opinion, and then you tell me to rely on sport compact car, what the **** would that be genius? I stated Neuspeed sucks because they don't design parts for REAL performance, they design parts that are cheaply produced and designed. They take a setup that works on other cars and make it fit a new car, and boom, instant "performance line". You're sitting here telling me that maybe I should do this or this, including that I should post the URL, maybe you should learn how to ****ing use internet explorer so you can find it. If you have problems finding something that simple, than your stupid. You all are pretty pathetic when it comes to someone having strong opinions in a negative way, if I said something overly positive there would have been no comments about me. I pointed out that you all could get pissed off and tell me I was wrong, and that's cool, I would take no offense to that. But, you all seem to have taken that wrong, I never said anything about making personal shots at me, like insulting my intellegence. I work for a company with IT troubleshooting (for those of you in the IT industry, I'm 17, so don't talk shit), I am doing pretty good at what I do so far, and... I've never touched what I give tech support on. So that goes to anyone who made a comment about me not having an S2K so I wouldn't know, I made a comment mainly based on Neuspeed's way of "making performance" parts, not on driving styles used. Either way it comes down to the simple fact that you insult the Honda design engineers when you think you can improve what they spent 3 or so years designing with a universal trick you use on customers, which also insults the intellegence of S2K owners.

 

It's 'You're a ****ing idiot' . As there is not a grammar checker I thought I'd lend a hand.

 

Now that is funny!

 

i have set of neuspeed springs right now...
and yes, everything mingster says right here, i agree.
i'm thinking of changing it into kg/ mms this coming jan.

 

oh- one more thing-
yes, they lower the car A LOT!
i get really, really, REALLY paranoid on bumpy roads.
