I have a 92 Si, with stock wheels and I probably will leave them on, I like stock look, but I want to get rid of some wheel gap but I dont want to have any other problem like camber etc...what spring should I get something that will drop my car so to get rid of most gap but that wont hurt my camber and the ride wont be too harsh...any suggestions please let me know.

Thanks,
Mario

i wanted the exact same thing when i dropped my ride, and i did a lot of research and ended up with neuspeed sport springs.(H&R are the same i think) and they provide EXACTLY what you said that you want, and you can find them for a reasonable price. check out www.aieonline.com , i got mine there for around 130...good luck

neuspeed sport is good but you still need the shock ($$$$$)

mario24601 · 07-22-2002, 05:01 PM

why, cant you leave the stock ones on? hey marshdoggg, how harsh was the ride with the Neuspeed Sport springs? The drop will only be about 1.5 in right?
Does anyone have any pics of a 92-96 with the Neuspeed Sport and stock wheels???

I've had my Neuspeed Sports on for over 30,000 miles now, with the stock shocks, and have had no problems whatsoever. Actually, the stock shocks already had 52,000 miles on them when I put the Neuspeeds on.

Have you ever rode in a BMW, more specificly an M3? I swear it feels just like the M3.

It's supposed to drop you 1.5", but you don't know exactly unless you actually measure it. I'm left with a 2 finger gap all around. I'd save up for shocks before you install the springs.

As for the picture of it with stock rims, look at my sig, it's not a really good picture, but you get the idea. If you want more/better pics, I'll post them later today.

SIR let me see if i can scrounge up the money, that sounds like a good deal. Can you do 300 shipped?

mario24601 · 07-23-2002, 12:06 PM

I cant see any of your pics, can you post them or email them to me, I think this is the route I am going to take, now I just have to find a good deal.

mario24601 · 07-23-2002, 07:47 PM

I am confused, my head hurts

Tola · 07-23-2002, 11:11 PM

Chirstmas anyone? Green springs + red shocks

. Looks so cheesy.

Sorry, I know these pics aren't taken at the best angles or the best quality, but it should give you an idea.

Keep in mind, if you're on stock rims and tires (205/55/15), you will probably have a SLIGHTLY smaller gap than me. I'm running 50 series tires.

Edit - wohoo!! I hit 1000. I have 2 stars now

mario24601 · 07-24-2002, 12:40 AM

looks good, I think I am going this way too, but I will have to do with the stock struts for now...any more pics? thanks for posting!!
