pop pop I installed my nuespeed sport springs (1.5" front, 1.75" rear)... I now hear a popping noise when I turn...I took it to Honda, they said that I installed the springs properly and the problem can only be fixed by putting the factory springs back on...I know people who've went lower and don't have this problem... Need some advice, thanks.

Rep Power: 332 Depends on how much you want to spend. You can pick up a set of Neuspeed Race springs for about $150 and they go pretty low. I've got about 4" of ground clearance under my car with these springs and they ride damn good for as low as I am. If you want to spend more you can get a full coilover system that is adjustable and will be the best in the long run. The sleeved coilovers suck imo and I wouldn't even suggest them without spending the extra money for performance struts.

Rep Power: 0 I had that problem b4 
. I just took the spring out and covered the 2 end of the springs with plastic tube or elec tape. Look at the stock spring you will see the same technique. Good luck

Rep Power: 0 I installed ProKits yesterday and we didn't even take out the front strut. We simply compressed the crap out of the front springs and slid them over the strut. Then put on the perch and screwed on the center nut finger tight. We then decompressed the spring, took of the compressors and slid the perch into place and tightened up all four nuts. This way was very easy after realizing that the spring needed to be compressed ALOT. Also, I lined up all the marks on the bearing ring piece (for future reference to everyone, be careful with those little ball bearings) and the perch and put it all in place and my springs make that popping noise too. I'm going to get my alignment check tomorrow and see if they can't stop it.
as i was reading it i was like... thats the same way i do installs at the shop... except i use impact guns though and not socket wrenches... u should also note that for people that dont have the bearings like some cars do that they should apply grease to the upper and lower part of the spring before putting it on.. it helps reduce any noises that might come from the front springs
