Why not just wait for the proper 9th gens? Are people seriously that impatient? I want to drop my car but I'll be damned if I'm gonna use 8th gen parts

this is the first install i seen that seems to work properly and allows you to keep the front sway bar.

if you want to wait then go ahead. but as for the rest of us, if it works and it works well then why wait? sayin you wont use something just because it says 06-11 on it rather than 12+ is retarded if it fits. I just ordered 8th gen skunk2 springs myself just did my research first. but hey if you dont mind staying stock more power to ya

Hey if it works im doing it, i lowerd my car with spring but it didnt go as low as i though

What springs did you use and how much a drop are they supposed to be?

 

[killerhonda]

I used hp racing, they werr supposed to lower 1.8 or more, but it only lowered like an 1inch. The spings are to stiff, but it rides beautiful

all you need to fit 8th gen springs is just rear 8th gen rear rubber spring isolators? the front springs will fit no problem on the front struts?

Yes for the 50th time on this forum

Hopefully nobody blows a strut using these springs/coils. To each his own, hope it doesn't turn out badly for you all. Good luck and I'm sure it will look great! I however will be waiting for something made specifically for the 9th gen suspension.

If the springs fit it doesnt matter. A 2" drop is a 2" drop regardless of what car it was designed for. Yes any lowering spring will make your OEM shocks and struts wear out faster.
