Neuspeed or Eibach
I was at Neuspeed the other day talking to one of their sales guys about springs. He said he thought the sport springs would be just about perfect for me and my driving needs. I am wondering if anyone here has Neuspeed springs on their car or knows someone who does. I was thinking about Eibach before I started lookin at the Neuspeed springs. I know that they are stiffer and lower then the Eibachs but I plan on doing some koni shocks and struts at the same time. Oh yeah, I am aware of the camber differances and that is not a concern. Any advice at all would be appreciated.

Rep Power: 416 get it, you wont regret it... sports ride fairly nice on stock shocks. i had the sports now have the race because the sports didnt drop low enough. only thing is race is pretty rough on stock shocks.

Rep Power: 0 I have the Eibach springs but just got the Neuspeed strut bar- Neuspeed makes great stuff, not that I am not happy w/ the Eibachs or anything but I have the Pro Kit, you know the one that is only a little over 1" drop- I am having some camber probs even though it was only a small drop. Actually, does anyone know the specs on lowering w/ the NSpeeds? Not sure...

Rep Power: 416 eibach prokit: ~1.3"
h&r: ~1.3"
eibach sportlines: ~1.6"
neuspeed sports: ~1.75"
IMO h&r are some nice springs but 1.3".... you can hardly even tell its dropped. why spend $200 when its still going to look stock.
eibach sportlines... $180 for some springs is a little too much and plus they are soft. I prefer stiff springs(obviously not too stiff) and thats what neuspeed offers. I had sports then got ground controls. i missed the stiff suspension neuspeed gave me so i went back.

Rep Power: 416 eh right now i'm on neuspeed race and they're too stiff for stock shocks. the neuspeed sports rode nice on stocks tho...
my cars a daily driver and i live in LA as well. they have been doing construction for the past 2 years so i'm constantly driving over those metal plates and what not but my shocks were still fine.

I'm on Eibach Sportlines also, I like the drop and feel the give me over stock. I can still get over speed bumps and get a floor jack under my car. I'm saving up for some KYB's or Tokicos once they come out.

Rep Power: 0 i got Eibach ground-control coilovers, at first i was hesitating of getting coilovers because of the cars that i have rode in that had them it was a very bouncy...toooo bouncy, but when i got it installed it had it lowered perfectly how i wanted it to be, and to my suprise it wasn't bouncy at all nor was it a rough ride.

Rep Power: 416 is that a trick question?
i'm almost sure neuspeed makes their own spring.
well atleast its not a generic spring with their label slapped on. i suppose its possible they have a company make their springs with specific specifications for each application.

Rep Power: 0 Neuspeed sports are hella good. Only that my car isn't low enough. The ride is remarkable and I am riding on 35 tire series. So yeah go with Neuspeed sport if you want that stiff feeling but comfortable ride. If you dont care about scraficing the ride quality then go with Neuspeed Race and get a sick *** drop.

Rep Power: 0 I'm leaning towards the neuspeeds and some konis. Those guys are really cool and I have done some measuring and It will look real nice. Bye the way I asked Dan at Neuspeed and he said that they have the springs made by a company in germany to thier specs so yeah they are outsourced

Rep Power: 348 can someone could give me some feedback on a neuspeed race/koni set-up. i have these parts ready to go in and i want to know if anyone has this combo...im anxious to get back into my car and whip it around when its done but that wont be till may 
. A lot of people were complaining about the rear koni's but im in the process of trying to get the new materials that have come out to solve the problems.

Rep Power: 332 I don't have the konis yet but here's a short review on the race springs. PUT THEM ON. There, that's it. They actually ride smooth as hell (sedan), even better than stock, and have a sick *** drop. Put them on, you won't be dissapointed. It will be even better with koni's. With the adjustable dampening you can't go wrong.

Rep Power: 0 talked to the tokico guys at the LA show. I'm saving for the new ones they have coming out. Loads of adjustment and no cutting of my stock struts. Did some measuring after my last drive and I dont think I can run any more then an inch drop and still clear on the roads I like. Does anybody know someone who got one of the civic FP kits on their coupe? Were the springs progressive?
