looking to do a suspension upgrade, possibly lower the car. My question is: If i was going to lower the car springs/coilovers... would i need to but new struts? Thanks

Mileage on struts?

In most cases - no. But it depends on the use of the car. If you are going to race the car (AX or HPDE) then the Bilstein HD's would be a good improvement over the OE struts. If not, KYBs are ok.

 

unsure of mileage on struts but car has 66K miles on it... I am just looking for something to eliminate wheel gap, and ride close to stock. I will probably end up buying some new struts with the springs/coilovers.... but still don't know what is a good setup. and please care to explain (AX or HPDE) also i will using it for a DD (Daily Driver) and some 1/4 mile runs.., thanks

AX - autocross
HPDE - track days

Advance search my screen name and the threads I have started on Swifts.

I think the Swift Sports might be right up your alley.

Very recent thread with photos:

The GTWorx/RCEs have a good drop that definitely has a lowered look but makes you think that Evos should be like that from the factory. It still has enough height and suspension travel to be a great spring for DD'ing without having to drive around like you have a slammed Honda. Contact GTWorx, I believe he only has a few more sets from what is to be the last run for a while, and they're discounted.

Swifts, as SmikeEvo mentioned, are also good. They offer a bit more of a drop, which is good for drivers who like to get as low as they can without actually being slammed and while still having handling capabilities beyond stock. I think if you get larger diameter wheels, Swifts will definitely have a slight edge in appearance.

 

Correct - GTWorx are also great springs.

 

very nice... i thank you for the information...

get the swift spec-r's. even though im kinda in a weird situation right now, its not cause of the springs.
