Hey CR owners and owners with CR suspension.

I'm kicking around the idea of getting lowering springs with the same rate as the stock CR springs but 1" lower. No manufacturer makes lowering springs close to the stock CR spring rates.

I have a company that will make them, but I need to see the interest level before putting in more time.

I personally love the CR suspension but ride height kills me and I would think a lower center of gravity would further improve lap times. The price would be 250.

Send me a PM if interested.
i'd be interested and it's a great idea, but i don't want the spring manufacturer to be a no-name brand due to quality issues. i know "beggars can't be choosers" but if it's not high quality, i would rather keep the stock springs in. h&r or eibach level.

Those greedy dealers will never sell that car for $31k unless they find a sucker....

I've found quite few CR's with under 5k miles and owners are willing to sell for $25k range. This is not as rare a car as some dealers make it out to be. The smurf color is the easiest to buy and yes I have seen that color many times. It's sorta like the Laguna blue for the e46 m3. Sure it's a limited edition color for m3 only but it's one of those things you either love or hate.....

White is by far the most high demand followed by black and yellow from my research. Those just happen to be the 3 colors I want in that order

I found a black one but trying to negotiate on a white one right now....

I would love to see those spring i love my suspension but i want to go about 1-2 inches lower. Oh also just saw a another CR for sale at a local mitsu dealer ship. IT had 14900 miles and they wanted $26900 for it way to much and it was the specail blue. It was in ok condition the tires were cheap and under the hood was really dirty for the milage

you could get Ground Controls in any spring rate you want, then you can adjust ride height as well.

Streets of Willow

Hope it's not a repost, I never knew it had a built-in shift light?

It's a max power light. Comes on around vtec and does some flashing and stuff from there (not really paying attention to it because I'm usually going pretty fast at that point). It's cool to watch in my in-car video's though.

And for a person that started this thread almost two years ago, you really need a CR

well looks like I will be picking up a Black 08 CR for 26.5 with 9xx miles on it thumbsup.gif

I wanted white, but they are proving to be difficult to find and fairly priced. Black is my second choice and this one is just too much of a good deal. Now I just need to get rid of my 05
