I don't really think your spring choice has too much to do with cornering limits. Springs absorb bumps and irregularities in the road. But, a lowering spring will lower your car's centre of gravity making it more stable through corners.

Tire adhesion (grip) and roll-control contribute more to cornering limits then the springs do. If you want to corner fast, invest in some sticky tires and upgrade your sway bars to bigger RSX ones.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I got the Eibach proline, excellent for cornering, extremely aggressive though. They rattle your marbles on a long drive... just the way i like it..

what im getting from this thread is the neuspeed sports is a better spring then the eibach prokit? is that right?

eibach pro = 2" drop front and back...

neuspeed sports = 1.5 front, 1.75 back

whats the price difference?

will i notice the .25 differential between the front and the back?

does the neuspeed drop look as good as the eibach drop? being that its not quite as low?

^^noob questions i know lol...im totally new to lowering

Pro-kit is your best choice. However go get a set of tokico since you are at it to save the cost of reinstalling later on. Or someone host a DIY day and I can probaby put them on for you.

Pro-kit is only 1" drop and is good if you look for a min. drop and closest to stock ride. Sports will give you a harsher ride especially on stock shocks.

the neuspeed sports are 1.75 in the front NOT in the rear, the rear is 1.5.

Biff, I saw your ride, and I think the drop is too much to be Pro-Kit. Are you sure you are not using Sportline? Are you using stock shocks?
I'm in the market too looking for suspensions and Eibach + Tokico's is in the top of my list.

Looks great tho!!

Its the Pro-Kit, its kinda deceiving i think because the tires that came with the rims have more rubber on them than i wanted.. i decided to try them to see if they would fit.. and they did!!

The only other mods on the suspension are the upper front strut bar and 4-wheel camber kit. The shocks are stock, this is the next thing on the list.. either Tokicos or Konis.. not sure yet. If i put the sportlines on my car these wheels would more than likely not fit.

you'd be fine.. its only another 1/2 " from the pro kit.. and i have all kinds of room on mine even with the amount of rubber on my ride.. be safe and put coil overs on for when you change to winter tires if you do (stock wheels for those"
