Sedan Spring Help

Hello, I need some help getting new lowering springs for an 04 lx Sedan. I already tried teins and they are univeral and the rear springs lower the car way too low. I tried to cut the stock springs...but with my new wheels, they rubbed once around a tight curve....I cant stand that cause what if I take 4 people and teh back is weighted down....I know they wil rub fine.

Point being I really just need a good set of rears...but I know they dont sell them separate. So could someone tell me who makes Sedan springs?? And the drop?

Thanks!

Well most springs are for the 2-door and 4-door, but some are only meant to work on the 2-door and cause sagging on the 4-door. I would try the eibach springs, either the pro kit or the sportlines.

Goldline makes springs for the 4-door, check out those. they drop about 1.75 for front and rear.

Uhhh, Neuspeed isnt the only one who makes springs for the sedan. Goldline also makes springs for the sedan, and I am sure there are others.

I'm about 90% sure that eibach has different part numbers for sedan vs. coupe springs.

Is there any compendium of knowledge that has the spring rates listed? If not, I think I'll make a listing of all popular springs and their rates for the boards here... From what I've gathered through my time here anything over 500 lb/in gets pretty bouncy, but that may be an effect of the dampers (shocks). I'll be starting a discussion along those lines probably tomarrow when I've had more rest.

sorry for the goldline...never considered them because of the quality...so never looked their parts number...they are a set of show springs to me...and eibach does not make any differences for the coupe and the sedan i'm sure about it...
