Springs help

white rabbit · Post by **white rabbit** » Sat May 25, 2013 4:22 pm

hey guys
been a while, but got a new job so back in the game

but i need help please

just got the car MOT'd and it looks like my springs have been cut to lower.
this is giving a nasty knock over bumps as the coil isnt sitting in the top shoe properly and is jumping out.

so my question is what springs do i need. im not looking to do any fancy upgrades or anything just get it all working as it should. the confusion i have is that i think mine is a motegi, which if it is would have smaller springs anyway.

so can i buy OEM standard springs (£20+ a spring) or will this not work if its motegi.
or do i buy lowering/ motegi springs and will they work if it turns out to be a fake motegi?

sorry if im being a newbie idiot but im throwing it out there

also anyone have an opinion on this, now ive seen it im tempted

that exhaust is just and ebay special like japspeed etc. they are ok but you may find it has fitting issues or alignment issues. as for the springs, you wouldnt go wrong by just buying eibach springs. 30/30 drop.

There were no Motegi specific springs AFAIK

There was Honda Access suspension but you're not guaranteed to have it jut by having the Motegi.

As long as you buy either 4G or 5G Prelude springs you will be fine. Perhaps @lewd lude lover could confirm if you have Access stuff? No doubt many people on here still have their OEM setups and can help.

@white rabbit

In addition to HH's post... I think I recall your Prelude being a 99+?
If that's the case that exhaust wont suit... it will have fitting issues as HH said. It'll be too long I think.
