eibach springs are aprrox. 100-120. and struts are about 200-270. 270 are for the fully adjustable ones, look for group buys on www.groupbuycenter.com (http://www.groupbuycenter.com)

I love my ground control / tokico adjustable setup. I'd go for that if they make it for your car.

hey i think there was a guy selling some OBX coilovers for 750 which isnt bad. If you dont want those i would go with GC they arent soft at all, and they have a progressive rate which is better.

for three hundred you could get coilovers, the only thing with springs is that you can never adjust the height, which you rarely do anyways, but when i got my body kit i needed to raise it a bit, and if i had springs that wouldnt had been possible. Thats my only concern with springs over coilovers. good luck with whatever you get.
Paradox
07-19-2002, 11:27 AM
no body kit for me, so springs would be good?
what size drop do you think would be acceptable, considering that there is a rather large gap in the CRV wheel area

look around and get the lowest possible spring, i know sprint makes and sxtreme line that drops vehicles from 2.75-3.25 inches. Check to see if they make it for your vehicle.

I love my Nuespeed sports. 1.8FR and 1.6RR
Not sue if they make them for the CRV though. I thought you were getting that Eclipse. What happened man?

the eclipse was sold out from under me. and i've found out that i can use lowering springs off of a 94-97 accord and they will fit on the CRV

if your looking for a nice ride go with the sprints or InTrax and go with the koni yellow shocks. ive installed them on lots of civics and tegs and they ride much smoother than any other drop in shox on the market. if you had the money look for a true coil over conversion. also just because it says Phillips™ does not make it Phillips. its a stamp that taiwanese companies and distriutors put on the ballast to sell it for a higher price. generally the kits are all the same just slap them in different boxes with lots of color and jargon like COLOR TEMP to make it seem like they are higher tech and higher quality when they arent.
the best color output and kandle power i know of are the K2 and Senko HIDS(same exact system just different boxes) they are purple and birght as hell!
hit my site up or call my shop for any other questions
