nuespeed sport problem

im sure everyone here has heard by now of the sedan coupe difference problem with neuspeed sports. well i got the correct springs from neuspeed for the rear of my coupe and it still sits high in the rear. (the front is 1 finger, the rear is 2-1/2.) wondering if anyone has any sugestions on what to do. i am really pissed off now at neuspeed and am about to cut the springs.

hey, someone else was having the same problem you are.
The other thread

i dont know if theyre still on backorder or not, but you might want to call neuspeed and see if they actually sent you the right ones. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

It should list the part number on the outside of the box and say 2001 Honda Civic Coupe 55.20.62.

the part number is also printed on the spring but i'm thinking hawk called up neuspeed and exchanged his springs so i doubt they would have a box for it.

the only thing different between the sedan and coupe springs is that the coupe is lower. before they only had one kit, it was fine on sedans but on the coupe, people(including me) were complaining that the back was to high so they came out with a kit for the coupe making the old one for the sedan.

the part numbers on the springs were the same, i compared the two when i had then old ones out. it seems that neuspeed sent me the sedan springs again. i can tell you this, if i get another set of springs, im not getting neuspeed, they are pissing me off. oh well time to get the cutting wheel.

I've been hearing a lot of Neuspeed problems lately. Is it a general consensus to go with something else?

I haven't heard many people say anything about Eibach except that they might be a little too expensive.

What brands should I consider when I decide to buy some?

not exactly sure what problems you've been hearing about but the only ones i've heard about was caused by the whole making of the new coupe springs. this only goes for previous buyers tho. just make sure you get the right set of springs and you should be fine.

Well your right it was about the whole previous model and stuff. Maybe it was just me, but it seemed like it was more than that.

But you're saying that the Neuspeed Sport springs for the coupe are great springs and that they don't have any problems with them? Just to clear my confusion up.

ya they are great springs, only thing is they aren't as low as i would like them to be. they ride pretty nice on stock shocks and i dont scrape at all. i wish i would have gotten the race tho. i dont think the ride would be as nice as sports but it cant be that badd, and the drop would make up for it so... but other then that they are great springs for a great price.
