Need to raise my old 'lude back to the original ride height but I cannot find factory height springs. Does anyone have a lead on where I can buy factory ride height springs either new (for a reasonable price) or used? I can only find lowering springs on ebay
Unfortunately my old springs are rusting in a landfill somewhere.
you dont need new springs. OEM springs can literally outlast the car's lifetime, well at least most Honda ones can. Keep checking ebay and c-list and junkyards.
what year is your lude? there are some Accords that have exact same spring height.

Its a 93. Some local Honda place wants $200 for all 4 springs and shocks. Used of course

That is a fair deal. Don't count on those shocks to be good. You can get cheaper at some other junk yard, but of course it will take time and looking around etc. Ask them if they can do for $150 because you dont really need the shocks.
Yea I'm not holding my breath on the shocks. The ones that are currently installed have over 80k on them, but at least I know they are in decent shape.
Go to napa auto parts I bought oem front springs from them (didn't carry the rear) for like under $100 last month. they're a lot better then the cut springs that were on there when I first got the car. For the rear springs look online I'm pretty sure I've seen them on some honda parts site.

napa sells OEM Honda parts?
I doubt it.
napa sells napa items that they say are OEM quality, but we all know that's not true.

Well look at that. When I checked their site a few weeks ago they didn't list any. Too bad they don't have the rears.
Have a lead at another local junk yard. $35 for each strut assembly. Will probably go that route
