hi all, I am just about to order a set of Neuspeed Race Springs for my 2001 Sedan Civic. Any comments from present users of this particular model of springs ? Anyone with negative or positive feedback will be greatly aprreciated. Is the drop for this spring as stated at 2.25" front and 2.0" rear ? Anyone who knows the spring rates for this spring ? I have been reading this forum on suspension as well as camber kits for the past week and it seems that alot of you guys are using the Neuspeed Sports Spring. The thing is I want a slammed ride as I do not want to regret later when my whole hand can fit between the fender and wheel. I have a friend who recommends me this spring brand "Merwede". From what I gathered from the web, it's a swedish spring producing company with TUV German approval. What I want is a really ver stiff and firm spring. I have tried coilovers but the car is totally misaligned somehow and handles BAD ! I will never ever get coilovers again !! Any inputs from you guys will be useful before I make another big mistake. Thanks.

I have driven my brother's car. He has the neuspeed race springs and sbc camber kit. Its a very stiff spring and the car handles quite well.
And yeah neuspeed sports and indeed softer. Two fingers fit between the front fender and my tire. Two fingers and a half fit between the rear fender and my tire. I have 215 35 18 tires.
My bro has 205 40 17.

whats the finger gap on his car with the 205/40/17s and neuspeed race? did they settle in any lower then when installed? that is the same setup i have. i just purchased some neuspeed race ans spc camber last week and got them a couple of days ago. you take take a look at the pictures of the products if you want in my memebrs rides. i plan on installing min in the spring when the weather gets better and i do not have to worry about gettin stuck in the snow.

if it was up to me, i would install them now, but my parents said i have to wait till the spring. they said they dont want me drivin around in the winter with it that low, but it is ok for all the rest of the winters?? i dont really car though, they are payin for it to get installed because i said wither i am installing it myself or they are payin for it, and they said they would pay. and it is not like i have any car shows to go to or even have my rims on in the winter so it doesnt really bother me.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I have Neuspeed sports on my car. Just in case you were wondering why i had such a big wheel gap.

I've yet to see a Sedan with Neuspeed Race springs... Please tell us how it goes. I'm on Neuspeed Sports right now and the ride is quite nice, except for the fact that I have 40series tires. Race will definitely look good with 17"s. I still have too much finger gap w/ Sports.

The red civic in my photos? Thats my old coupe. I wrecked that one. After it got fixed, it wasn't the same. So I got rid of it and got an 02 SI. But I got rid of that too. LOL. I've got an 03 EX coupe in SSM now.
