lowered springs for ek?

[dahve]

guys, mahusay ba ang maxspeed springs? went to banawe and one shop offered me this brand of springs. cut springs yung set-up ko with 17's mags 215x45x17 tires. gusto ko taasan yung ride height so they offered me this spring plus lagyan ng rubber lifters para di masyado lowered. advisable ba ito? they say gaganda daw yung ride di na masyado matagtag. is this true?

it will definitely improve considering your current springs are cut. how much will it cost?

never heard of the brand. i would rather neuspeed, HnR, tanabe brands. i had my share sa mga taiwan brand lowering spring and they really suck.

IMO dont go cheap sa lowering spring, malayo difference ng mga sinabi ko brand than those unknown sa handling and comfort.

yeah, archie is right. go for the known and trusted brands. since you're going to spend money anyway, might as well invest on something better.

maxspeed 8.5k w/ installation, 250/rubber lifter x 8pcs up and down lalagyan para humabol sa stock height. yung tanabe nila 10k. ok na ba yun, tein nila 11 o 12k. which is better?

[arieslhon]

mga idol how about heating the stock spring to compress? way way cheaper but what is the consequence of compressing by heat treatment?

one shop told me that without applying water after heating will not degrade quality of spring.......

any one try this method?

teka teka, gusto mo sir stock height? why not get the OEM na lang. way cheaper than lowering spring and the comfort would be better. lifters are used to increase a little height para hindi nakatingala yung oto. aggressive pa rin tignan. usually sa likod ito kinakabit.

if you want to go lowered, tein na ko.

yung sabi mo na option does not make sense and magastos lang.

dont bother, heat treating it would cause fatigue on the metal. chances are bibigay yung spring kung uneven road lagi daanan. just remember, heat would cause metal to weaken and spring rate would differ dramatically.

nagpalit na ako dati ng springs sa harap kasi mali yung pagputol ng previous owner sa spring nung nakuha ko yung oto, sa baba ng springs sya nagputol kaya may tok sound sa springs at shock. nung kinabit yung spring na nabili ko na oem halos isang dangkal yung height bet. tires and fender kaya no choice pinaputol ko pero sa upper portion para yumuko sa harap yung oto imbes na nakatingala. baka sir may avail. kayo stock springs sa civic niyo since nag lowering springs na rin kayo? sa lowering springs kahit naka 17's mags ka pwede?

nakabili na ako stock springs with stock shocks, smooth na yung ride niya, di na rin sumasayad yung gulong ko sa inner fender cover. sir archie san kayo nakabili lifter for civic? wala ako makita sa banawe puro pang toyota and mitsubishi lang.

naguluhan yata ako sir. bibili ka ng lowering springs tapos lalagyan ng lifters? edi mag-ccancel lang, sayang lang sa pera. 0.5 drop nga bagay, hindi masyadong lowered, pero may porma konti.

sir archie, hindi mo pa rin nabebenta kotse mo? sabi ko sa'yo, benta mo na lang saken hehe

OT: change of plans. may interesting option na try.
not for sale for now, pag gumana... well, it will stay with me na. hehe

BBT: mas ok 17's on 1.5 inch drop, parang busog yung fender gap. mga 1-1.5 finger gap na lang. gwapo sana kaso hindi ko kaya tagtag kaya balik 15's.

may napagtanungan ako sa kaizen na kapag stock springs ang kinabit titingala yung oto at bouncy yung ride,so yung lowering springs ang mas maganda daw kasi di titingala yung oto pero ayoko nung masyadong lowered, hirap sa akyatan sa ramps at humps. so inadvice sakin na maglowering springs at mag lifter para di masyado lowered. thats why im asking kung tama ba yung advice sakin, or buy na lang ako surplus springs at kabit ko sa kayaba gas shocks ko then langyan ng lifter yung likod para di nakatingala?

tama yung sinabi ni bro archie...can't go wrong with his said brands.

these unknown brands are prone from sagging. that's what i read over and over again.

kaya ako, ipon mode pa din...di naman makaipon

im still eyeing for the Tanabe DF210.

better to invest pa rin sir sa mga trusted brands lalo na sa mga moving parts like springs.
true, malayo ang price difference nila (maxspeed is around 4-6k yta? versus say H&R na around 12-15k) but that price difference will come back to haunt you. maiinis ka lang katagalan dahil di maganda ang ride and you'll probably end up selling that cheap brand springs again kasi di ka masaya.

think of it sir as an investment for your ride comfort, whatever it is, you can't go wrong with that
