Rep Power: 0 I'm gonna be putting my Neuspeed sports on my 02 LX sedan next week on stock shocks. They are a 1.75" drop in front 1.5" in back. From what I hear they work pretty well with stock shocks. I'll let you know from my experience as soon as I have them on.

So these Eibach springs, how much of a drop are they? and for those who have them with the stock shocks, how long has it been since you installed em and are your shocks still good? thanks guys

Rep Power: 319 Anyone with the Neuspeed sport springs on stock struts? I know Honda switched their struts in 2k2 because of the stock struts keep blowing out on stock springs. So I'm looking for some with theses springs and stock struts with a 53mm stock strut, which was on the late 2k2 and all the 2k3 and 2k4's.

Rep Power: 319 Svongkasem, do you know if you have the 50mm or the 53 mm struts? They changed in the late 2002 model. Thanks.

Rep Power: 319 If you bought in Jan '02 then you have the smaller sturts. They changed some where in June or July I think, not sure though. So if you have the smaller struts than me and you are okay, I shouldn't have a problem. Thanks, this give me alot more confidence in these springs.

Rep Power: 0 Good luck bro. Also, be careful on how you drive. I swerve everywhere to avoid holes and bumps, lol. Oh, and read this thread if you're installing yourself.

Rep Power: 452 I have eibach sportlines, sorry no pics, but if you are looking for a low drop, these arent for you, they do fill in the fender gap, but I wish I was lower.

Rep Power: 380 I run sport lines, and Yes its not that much of a drop, but tied in with the right anti-roll bars will make for a Very well handling car.

Rep Power: 310 Before lowering with Sportlines:
After lowering with Sportlines:
Tires in both pics are 205/40/17's. Perfect for my daily driving, handles much better and allows me to get over speed bumps.
