H&R in the front and Eibach in the back?
 
Right now I got some H&R springs on my car. As we all know by now if you drop a 2k1 civic sedan the back will be lower than the front no matter what type of springs you use. I just found this out right now I wish I would of known sooner because I ordered some Eibach pro kit springs about a week ago. So I won’t feel as bad by buying another set of springs what you do guys think if I only put on the Eibach Pro Kit springs in the back? If you think about it my car dropped 2.0.” with the H&R springs. If I use Eibach Pro Kit springs on my car it will drop about 1.0”. If I only use the Eibach springs in the back wouldn’t that raise my car about 1.0” from the back? If I leave the H&R in the front wouldn’t that also even out my car?:tup:

BAD idea to mix springs.... Just get a set of Neuspeed Sedan springs or Goldline.

Well, then again, it's really up to you.......

Why is it a bad idea? I don’t see anything bad by doing that but then again I’m not sure. About buying other springs I don’t thing it’s a good idea because I will have two sets already remember the Eibach springs are on the way. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

There must be at least a little research gone into each company's springs. The front/rear springs work together to hold up your car. If you mix em, chances are the springs' rates will go all out of spec.

I'm no mechanic nor engineer, just opinion. But all spring companys tell you not to mix springs.

your old post

all i have to say is i told you so.. i only recommend neuspeed or goldline for sedans...
even if you did mix the springs i'm sure you would get the same drop cause H&R and prokit are a very similar drop. my recommendation would be get rid of those eibachs, sell it to someone or something. after that you could either cut the front springs, put a spacer in the back(for more info on this just ask), or get neuspeed or goldlines. but ya either way i think you should get rid of the eibachs.
