Lowering springs on stock struts?
Ok I currently have a 2001 honda civic. It has about 162k miles and runs perfectly. The struts in the front are good but the rear struts can get really bouncy when going over high speed bumps or roads with poor condition. The car has had 3 previous owners and I'm not sure if the struts have ever been replaced. Would adding Eibach sportline lowering springs blow out my struts?
It will blow them out in a few months.
If you get lowering springs you will have to upgrade your shocks. Get some koni, tokiko, tein, or Tanabe shocks. I'd say leave the springs alone and get ground control coilover sleeves and get koni yellow shocks or if you are on a budget get some em2 Raceland coilovers they are $369.00 on www.racelandus.com
- Why do motorbike brake shoes have springs that snap them shut? . When the brake is released? I've taken them off the rear drum brake of my Honda 250 scooter and the brake is much more powerful as I'm not wasting effort overcoming the inertia of the springs. What a silly invention in the first place!

- Will Honda Prelude struts fit a Honda Accord? I have a 1999 Honda accord ex V6 sedan. has stock 15 inch wheels, but will have 17 inch 2006 Acura TL wheels on it soon this will raise my ride height, so instead of spending 1000$ on coilovers, I was wondering if the struts of a 1997 Prelude would fit my car. Any suggestions as to if this might work? Any feedback will be appreciated.
