Looking for around 2" drop on a 2000 ek coupe daily commuter but want to spend $100~200.
So far, the choices are:

Tenzo R Lowering Springs

Tein Sport Tech Springs

What do you guys prefer? Any other choices you recommend?

Thanks in advance!

The only thing I recommend is that you save your money and buy some shocks as well. Otherwise you will eventually blow your OEM shocks, and will have to pay for labor twice.

Aside from that, I would recommend the Tein's on a DD.

 

I would recommend Tein as well, but also recommend changing the shocks.

 

hmmm... is there a product out there i can use to drop the car but keep my stock shocks?



it just seems like all the shock & spring setups run around $600. Any recommended setups that won't break the bank??


Thanks in advance for your input!

 

Tokico Blues are a reputable shock, and are one of the cheaper alternatives.

$600 for a shock and spring combo sounds about right, if it is brand new. That is a lot of money, until you realize some of us can pay upwards of $3000 for some nice suspension. Car modifications are not cheap, and no one is forcing you to spend top dollar on all your stuff, but there are only so many shortcuts you can take.

Its for your own safety as well. If you are having a hard time saving up an additional $400 for shocks, what will you do when your OEM shocks blow and your car becomes a hazard on the road? And then it will be the same $400, and another $100 or so for labor, again.

Now you dont have money for shocks and labor, and you dont have a car to get to work to make the money you need to replace those shocks. Hind sight is 20/20, and sometimes it pays to save a little.

 

honda has spent millions of dollars on their suspension design, and now you're gonna spend a $100 and ruin it all. please don't. modifying a car is about improving it, not making a big pile of **** out of something that works perfectly well. save up and budget $1500-2000 for suspension work, or don't do it at all. think of the suspension as a dynamic system of components, and as you change one part of it, it affects every other part in that system, plus several other parts outside the system as well (such as tie rod angle, axle alignment, roll center, NVH levels, chassis stress, etc.)

 

listen to these guys. if your gonna mess with suspension then save up the money to do it properly. i got some ****ty *** springs and ive regretted it ever since!

 

I would save up and get some shocks as well. I'd go for the teins with some tokicos or koni's.
