Im back, some of you may remember me from a few years ago!
My lude has been sat on the drive rotting for the last couple of years, and i have decided its time to try and get it back on the road.
I am having a lot of trouble finding stock coil springs. honda can get me a set to the tune of 500 quid, but they said the rears have been discontinued. does anyone know where i might be able to get some, or have some ideas on alternative options?
I dont really want to lower if i can help it as due to the aftermarket front bumper, it sits pretty close to the floor at the front anyway.
Cheers!
Congratulations to vtecmec for winning May/June's Lude Of The Month, with his DIY Turbo BB1 build.

yep only difference i know of is the 5th gen front shocks dont have the tab for the brake line so a cable tie can be used in place of that - will dig them out and have a look - ive got spring compressor if you just want the springs. Thinking £80 for the shocks and springs bit less for just springs plus postage

Any idea how much postage will be on the shocks and springs? May as well take them both to save faffing about swapping springs over!
