I am planning on putting some lowering springs on my LX. Are there any good brands out there that are not too expensive. Also, I am not real mechanically inclined (computers are my forte)...does anyone know of a good how-to for installing lowering springs? I don't see any in this forum

check the suspension part of the forum because they have all kindas of good products to use

its very simple indeed. There is a how-to on it in the step-by-step section if im not mistaken.

You are planning on changing the shocks right? (if you havent already)

no, I wasn't planning on getting new shocks and struts. I'm only planning on a 1.5 front and 1.3 drop in the rear and I've heard that you don't necessarily need to get new shocks unless you're lowering >2"

I didn't see any spring how-tos in this forum, but I'll check in the how-to section again

nah, you dont need shocks unless you are crazy like me with a 2.5 inch drop. your camber should be manageable also since 1.5 isnt necessarily a ""HUGE" drop. pretty average. i'm using progress lowering springs and i love them. you MIGHT want to invest in some adjustable coilovers so you can see where you like your car as far as height goes. the dropzones are a shitty ride, but at least you have the option of adjustment. anywhere from 0 to 4 inches. they are relatively cheap too

whoops...dropped the ball again...i seem to be doing that a lot lately...

springs (not coilovers):
Eibach
H&R

(very good and very decently priced)
Tein
Neuspeed

cool! thanks for all the info. I've heard a lot of good things about eibach springs, so I may just go with those

don't get the sportlines... my buddy ordered eibachs after driving in my car he got sportlines instead of pro-kits and he HATED them.. they were REALLY bouncy...

the prokits are good for all around driving.. they have a light rate for everyday driving but when you load them up they stiffen up like hef on viagra.
