Looking to get some springs(not coil over set) to improve the handling and look of the S. I want that aggressive look.
Which are the best out there for a reasonable price?
Also, do you know where to get some Sebring silver eyelids and how much?

Thanks guys.

 

My S came with Tein H tech and I think it looks pretty agressive.

 

I'll check those out; thanks.

 

You will not improve handling without changing the struts....do it right and change both shocks and springs.

 

I'd like to get some good coil overs but I can't afford it right now. I'll settle for a little better handling or the same handling if I can find a good spring for now that will improve the looks.

Anyone heard of Vogtland?
Which are the best out there? Eibach, Espelir, PI, Tein, Tanabe, Skunk2, Neuspeed, Vogtland? How do these compare?

Thanks guys.

 

You don't have to get coilovers to change the struts... I think Tugz was saying for example get a set of eibach springs and some Koni yellow struts... Fairly cheap package(much cheaper than coilover set) and will give you the look without sacraficing performance. Just springs in any situation will not improve handling.

 

ryanvnw is correct. My reply is just to warn you. OEM shocks are not intended to be used with lowering springs. Lowering springs add stress and extra wear to OEM struts. Your car is a 2002. 5 year old OEM struts, and I guarantee you that you will get them to leak within a few weeks of installing the springs. You dont want to be driving or carving corners on blown struts . Do yourself a favor, save headache and do it right from the beginning.

 

I agree with ryanvnw and Tugz_S2K. I had my civic lowered on springs and you don't want that. Do it right the first time....but if your still gonna go with the springs...I can snap a couple pictures of my S with the tein's.

 

Product inquiry. moving to S2000 talk

 

My car is a 2000, and has been lowered an inch on Eibach ProKit springs for over a year now. I autocross the car regularly and drive much harder than the average S2kI member, and I have had NO problems with the stock shocks on my car.

I can't say that there won't be problems with other MY cars, or other springs (because the rate and drop will likely be different), but in my experience the Eibach ProKit, which is actually designed to work with the stock shocks, doesn't shorten shock life at all. I'm at 52k miles now and the stock shocks are still doing a fine job.
