The correct spring rates for our cars are like double those numbers. I know you know not to get them unless they are made for our car, so I would recommend against them and find some for our cars like the Progress springs I have. It's your call if you want to risk it over getting a good deal...not worth the potential trouble IMO, so pay a little extra for the right springs. :)

damnit ur right hahaha... i know progress are good and all..
but dunno., i just want name brand stuff. i guess im spoiled...
i guess ill go for sportlines :( just gotta save up since they're the only ones out. and since H&r's wont drop our cars low enough as i would like..

i JUST listed all my college books on sale on ebay.. so go buy them!!! ahahah if i sell them all, i should have a good $350 in my pocket :)

those numbers are terrible! yuck! 290 in the rear should be in the front and double that for the rear.

Ok, so we called TEIN yet again. On the TEIN SS system for 2001-up Civic, you have to enlarge the hole in the bottom of the suspension system for the front two dampers from 14.8mm (Civic stock) to 16.5mm (Civic Si). While this can't be that hard to mess up, we finally pushed TEIN and asked them what their deal was. They said, wait till the end of October for both the TEIN SS and FLEX systems. I'll keep you guys updated.

ss or flex? what about just regular springs. that's all i can afford.
