Thanks Rocketman, so will any 95 civic spring or coilover work, or is there something I need to look for when shopping for these parts?

I would buy the ones from the link I posted, and not honda springs, Not a good idea to mix and match parts unless your sure its going to work.   :rolleyes:

Matt, Honda springs or Coilovers?  I'd want to know some more info on that, there has to be something different about them that these spring companies won't cross reference the part #'s.

I'm working on having these available.  These have been tested by another colleague of mine that runs another business but also owns a Capri         So like H&R springs, these are another option and B&G have been around a long time.  A 1.4" drop front and rear.  I'll have pricing soon.

The information was on Mazda323performance    It was honda coilovers not springs. The strut tubes and travel were similar enough that it worked.

uwant springs that fit the 89 323 for the non turbo apris, and the gtr for the turbo capris. gtx wll not work as the rear end is different.

[Rocketman]

I believe the GTR had a different rearend as well. Infact its a BG, a totally different chassis

[STE_6000]

not the 89 from my understanding the 323 turbo and the gtr are the same car different engine setup. the gtx has th different rear end cause of the awd.

[Rocketman]

I think you're referring to the 88 323 GT? Its the fwd sedan with an identical suspension setup to ours. It was only made in 88.

The GTR is a BG chassis (91-93) variant of the GTX. Its got a tighter ratio gearbox, much more powerful motor (210hp), and I think better differentials in the AWD system. They didnt have a GTR untill 91 i think.

So with all tech stuff flying around, what is the prognosis will the HR springs work with the stock struts. Want to lower the car mainly for the look.Also doesn't sound like the 16" wheels is the way to go, saw that clearence photo of some one's car and looked like a tight squeeze

[CapriTypeR]

The Super-Roo has 16" wheels, and I have had no issues.  The roads out here are not the best, either!

Yes i looked at ur Super-Roo and the wheels look to have plenty of clearance. So what is the wheel and tire combo on ur car and do u think that there would not be a clearence problem with ur combo and a set of HR lowering springs.By ur photos an 1 3/4 lower from the HR springs wouldn't really affect the height all that much, what do u think

[CapriTypeR]

I'm running 205/40R16 Kumho Ecsta tires on Enkei wheels. There seems to enough room to run lowering springs. My ClubSprint runs 17" wheels, and the spring perches have been notched to accommodate the lowered stance:

hey russ... where the hell was that thing at the macg guy???  that CS is bad man...Joe

[CapriTypeR]

It has a few...issues.  It  should make next years MACG, though!

17" have more of a clearance issue then 16s, u could fit 18s if u play it right, but it wouldnt be as wide, or they will stick out from the car, i dont know the specs u'd need, 17s where big enough.
