I couldn't find anything with a search. What are the best springs to lower a sedan on stock struts. I am thinking about a 1.5-2.0 inch drop. Teins?
Any sedan drivers out there have any experiences with this?

i have the goldlines u gotta make sure they are for the sedan if it isn't and is for the coupe it's gonna sag for sure my whip looks even when u look at it withouth the heavy box in the back.
neuspeed sports is the way to go imo. ive been riding on them since may 04 and the stock struts are holding up well. no sagging whatsoever, and its about 1 finger gap all the way around with stock 15" rim/tires. i got mine for $200 brand new as well from a member here.
i want Neuspeed Sports for my 04 sedan.. but i heard from someone that the 04-05 needs a certain specification that differers from the previous 7thgens.. is this true??? like mounting brackets n' stuff.. im not to educated no suspension.. which is why im asking

Neuspeed sports are good until you start putting weight on them in the back, the more i put friends in the back, the more they would sag, and when i finally did my audio, damn, it was pretty bad in the back with the sagging, so i sold them and got the ground controls, now i can adjust, but still would like the rear higher for the winter, doesn't go up nowhere near as high as the fronts do.

i think the sagging is not just a problem with neuspeed. any springs will eventually start to sag if they are consistantly compressed for long periods of time (eg. stereo equipment in the trunk or many passengers sitting in the back on a regular basis) besides, once you lower your car you're not supposed to be transporting any passengers or anything heavy on a regular basis. makes sense.

Unbelievably enough my Hayames have held up, and I DO carry a lot of weight in the back, usually records and a PA system when I'm playin gigs. Wowie. I kinda wanna get Teins or KW's now though....

Im dropped on Neuspeed Sports, got them from a member on this board....I ride on Motgei SS5's and it's a great ride...Only noise I heard was from a busted strut, which Honda fixed under warranty....
Does anyone know anywhere in the GTA that swap springs at a decent rate?
