Yes. You'll need shocks that will withstand that drop and spring rate. You'll also need to get an alignment afterward.Originally posted by Gmoney707 View Postif i wanna drop my whip 2.25" i prolly gotta get new shocks right?? i got stock everything right now

Why not do it yourself? Its only 3 nuts, and 2 bolts, and the 2 screws holding your brake lines. You will enjoy the fact of knowing that you did it yourself.
and if your removing your springs then you can rent a coil spring compressor from advance or most parts stores and when you take it back you will get a full refund.

That's hard to say without some measurement. How much extra weight is on the rear over the sedan or coupe?Originally posted by tn_accords View Postjust a quick question here ... I know its not talked about as often as it should be ... but what about the setups for WAGONS ... because of the extra weight in the back.
What would you guys suggest ?? something for a low stance but not to bouncy... a little bounce would be acceptable.There are no black and white suspension answers!!!!!!!!!!!

How can I convert these measurements back from lbs/in to the metric form?
I find it (like most other metric measurements) easier to read...

As its written in the original post, highlighted by purple: To convert from lbs/in to kg/mm, divide by 56.Originally posted by 91_CB7_Sedan View Post

Not a problem. Most springs out there are listed in lbs/in while most full coilovers are listed in kg/mm; i find that interesting. I wonder if it has to do with the country of manufacture...............Originally posted by 91_CB7_Sedan View PostPlease excuse my lack of intelligence sir. I should have read first.

They might be worth looking into. Someone would need to talk to them to get more info about their product. I have no idea what kind of spring rate they use, and what springs, etc.Originally posted by 91_CB7_Sedan View Postmndude07,

Yeah I saw that when I was looking at their site. I like the fact that they're guys that have been into racing and have 10+ years of experience so they aren't retarded. That doesn't mean they build good dampers necessarily though.Originally posted by 91_CB7_Sedan View PostI'll try to find a number and find something out about them Monday...

I'll be sure and send them an e-mail on Monday to ask about their group buys, and spring rates/damping info for you

) but seriously though, i didnt expect it to handle/feel this good. ive had h&r and teins before and they were both bouncier. these are my favorite so far. imma upgrade to d2 1piece coilovers when i have the funds.
