but can the stock strut handle lowering spring?

 

yes...mine held for 4 years before it started to slowly give out. there are cases where other people had blown struts after a few months.

the H/R's arent as harsh as the Neuspeeds though.

 

so, is coil overs better than regular lowering springs?

 

another question, if i have lowering spring, isn't the factory strut going to be compress more and be running harder?

thanks you!!!

 

if i lower the car at 2", do i need camber kit?

what would be the handling like with combo set of spring kit w/ strut comparing to just lowering spring w/ factory strut?

 

Yes, H&R springs are GOOD... wow, that's a good deal that doood has, I think you shoulc check it out!!

 

Not necessarily. They are only better if you have the resources to tune them.
They will start at a lower static height. They will compress less due to stiffer rates. They will run "harder" because they have to slow down more force.
You don't need a camber kit but it would be recommended. You will at least need an alignment to adjust toe as you should anytime you lower your car. Provided you used good parts, handling should be better.

 

so is it recommend to replace my stock struts as well? what are some recommended camber kits?

what are some good springs and strut with a reasonable price? maybe somewhere below the price of the H&Rs cup kit!!
thx

 

I have had my cup kit on for almost half a year now. It is the best thing I have done to my car and probably will be for a long time. The ride is just stiff enough for me. I have been in a 95 teg with ground contorl coilover sleeves and koni reds and a civic with neuspeed springs and stock shocks and my car just blows them both away. The kit consists of adjustable koni yellows painted silver with three different perch settings to adjust the ride height and the springs. On my hatch there is about a finger distance inbetween the tire and fender on the front and a little more gap in the back both on the middle perch. I work at a dealership that has a company acount with tire rack so I got mine for $528 shipped. On Gingerman raceway in Michigan I was hanging with modified mustangs, vettes, and ferraris through the corners and would lose sight of them on the straights. I have a stock d16z6 though. I let one of the ferrari owners(333sp, f40, 355b) take it out and he was blown away by it. I have let three of my friends all drive my car and now there are three more people that want a cup kit.

 

wow, sounds nice, i think i will get the cup kit. how much do they run about?
