Neuspeed vs. Eibach - Honda Prelude Forum

sporttheimport · 11-29-2002, 08:05 PM

Alrighty guys, im have been doing a lot of research on these two spring companies and found them to be both outstanding when i have talked to people about them. the only problem is that the springs are always on a different car, and not a Prelude. so i have decided to ask you guys which spring you prefer. Eibach Prokit or Neuspeed Sport Drop springs? Also, would my Preude be ricey if i lowered it on her stock 15'' cookie cutters? thanks for your input/opinions

thanks,
tim

I prefer Eibach Sportline

Dropped on stock rims:

Eibach for sure I love them...I have them with my GC

i have neuspeed sports and i love em. The ride is not too harsh but stiffer than stock. If you want to slam your car though, i would go for the race and not sport springs.

i love my eibachs...no complaints at all and love the ride height

I know what the neuspeed drop is - are the Eibachs about the same?

And I say dropping them will not make them look rice. This way you will never have the 4X4 look if you got big rims firts.

I'm with you all the way on this one, Sik. I hear a lot of people complain about Eibachs.

I just bought some nuespeed race spring of the boards used. I'm hoping they'll be good.

I'm sure you'll be totally happy. Get ready for a stiff ride, w/ the Race springs, though. How long were they used, and how much did you get them for? I'm thinking about upgrading to the Race's from the Sports, b/c mine have been through a lot over their 3 years of use.

it is not rice to lower it, cause it can still look good, cause most stock civic rims are steelies with hub cap(ewwwwwwww)

red92si · 11-30-2002, 12:59 AM

I like my Eibachs...

SikRedRX-8 · 11-30-2002, 08:17 AM

I gots the race springs with koni's and the ride is exactly the way I want it. Plus a over a 2" drop with 18's doesn't look any better than that.

IMO rice is cut springs.

SoFlaLude · 11-30-2002, 11:07 AM

I bought my Neuspeed Sports because I'd read a few complaints about the Sportlines sagging. I'm also on the 15" "cookie-cutter" rims.

My car had the Neuspeed Races for 8 months, and I noticed a big diff between the Sport and Race series. I LOVED the stiffness of the Races and the total lack of body roll I had... but I had to replace them with the Sports because the roads here in Miami suck tremendous ass.

I'm happy with what I have, it's a reasonable compromise, body only leans a little on really hard turns and the ride is still harsh enough that I get complai-err, compliments.

... but if you want slammed and a VERY firm ride, Race is the way to go. Moral is, can't go wrong with Neuspeed.

Imported204 · 11-30-2002, 11:45 AM

For all you people with neuspeed sports. It seems like the back has a little less fender gap than the front, this is only on an incline though. Do you guys have the same problem?

How stiff are your Konis set?
