I was just wondering at how much lowering is a stock 89 coupe going to take before it affects the camber and causes the tires to bend in? I have been reading other posts and came to the conclusion of getting springs and some KYB's, im considering the "TEIN S" springs which lower the car 1.5" and cost $200(found some on ebay for $150 shipped) Any info or tips on good springs and other suspension stuff will be appreciated. Thanks



TEIN's or Eibach?
springs or coilovers?

I have had my car dropped 4 inches. I am running at a 2 inch drop right now and had to get an alignment done.

You will have to adjust camber at the 1.5 drop. Install the springs and hit a local computer alignment shop. They will fix you up.

There is a great deal of adjustment that can be on the car without install aftermarket arms and the such.

So is that too low or not? What do you think of the TEIN springs? thanks

TEIN STECH Springs will lower 1.5" front and 1.3" rear( spring rate is :3.7/3.2
Eibach Pro Kit will lower 1.8" front and 1.6" rear

What would be best?

i say get the sportlines.......you wont be satisfied with a pro-kit drop....and just buy the bolts..and rotate your tires

The Stech is under rated. You get a big drop from them. I have seen them on s14s and they get slammed. More like a 2 inch drop.

Well, I got the sportline springs with just the regular KYB gas struts on my car and the drop is about 2.5 inch drop if i recall, and i am getting very little negative camber; overall, the car handles very well as equivelant to the Tein SS coilovers on my other EK Civic Hatchback. I love it and i really think you should look into getting that setup and plus it is very Affortable. However, I have no experience with the Tein springs which you guys were talking about but i guess you can do some research on that too.
