As one orger reccomended the first mod i do to my max is springs. I looked on http://maxmods.dyndns.org/ for all the brands and i picked maxspeed beacuse of the cheep price. THen i found them on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVWmaxspeed spring ... Do you think these are a good choice? Are they hard to install?

Also i called several Auto Auction and private sellers sellin max's. I will hopefully go test drive one this week. Keep you posted.

 

there ok springs, but i see you live in NY you will regret it later on . trust me

 

Yeah, they're tuned more towards performance over ride quality.

 

I love 'em, perfect drop imo. Dont need to worry about scraping. Nice ride too.

 

hmm they seem nice. You think these are worth the extra $? http://www.shmotorsport.com/item140991.ctlg... HMMMMMM is that price per or all 4?

 

Nope. I would stay away from any cheap coilover like that. Sqeaky and harsh ride from those.

 

so then what do you reccomend? ANYONE?

 

I reccomend Maxspeed springs. Just not those obx coilovers.

 

I don't know about other guys here, but the Maxspeeds are not great quality, the top coils hit each other on bumps and make noise, I had to put insulators all over them but they still are a bit clunky. For the price I don't think you can expect anything better, amd if little squeaks and clunks don't annoy you (I'm a bit **** about noises in the car) than they're def a good choice. Ride quality is improved very much over stock springs.

 

would it be better to spend 80 bucks more on some h&r's or tokico springs?

 

I have maxspeeds on my 98 with GR2's and they give a nice even drop as well as a very soft ride. I dont think they are sport tuned at all.

 

If I had to do it again, I would spend a little more and get a another set of springs. Which ones... I'm not sure... maybe Eibachs?!?!?!?!

 

will i need new struts if i want these springs?

 

What about sprint springs??

 

what about Eibach prokit or GC coilovers? anyone have these on their cars? and what struts are paired with them? I am thinking of lowering my 96 SE for the firsttime, and had good success with pro kits on my 92 SE-R

 

yes. you really shouldn't lower your car on stock struts, they'll blow a lot quicker.

and with those obx and gc coilovers, you still have to buy struts even after paying for the coilovers. plus, like BlueC said, you're likely to get a really bad ride and lots of noise from them.

 

i'm riding on S.tech's right now and still haven't gotten annoyed with the ride quality

but definitely do not go with the coilover sleeves....those things are cheap and are not true coilovers, you'll just end up with blown shocks...my friend has a '04 2door accord and about four months ago he put on GC coilover sleeves(supposedly the best quality of all the sleeves) and he still blew his rear shocks.....but it really has to do with what roads you are on

i almost made the mistake of buying some WeaponR coilovers, but called back and cancelled my order before they could even ship


GET TEIN!!!!

 

get H&R.... much better ride with same or even a little more of a drop..... maxspeed is a bit harsh

 

My maxspeeds make no noise whatsoever. Even on the harshest bumps. Maybe you didnt install them correctly, cause they shouldnt make noise if they are put in correctly.

 

yo dude you live in nyc get h&rs
