Default Road Magnet spring

So I'm really leaning towards getting RMs. How's the ride feel like? Where/who can I get them from for a good price?

I heard the ride on them are not so good. I suggest you go with H&R. Good drop and smooth ride

I'm also looking at Tein S Techs. I've been iffy about RMs because I want a set of springs that will somewhat even out the "Lexus Lean" wheel gap. What's the ride quality on S techs and H&R's? I want to maintain a somewhat stock ride.

I';e got RM's on now with 20s and I love the ride quality.. damn near close to stock and you'll love the drop... nothing else comes closer execpt coilovers and air... I've been running RM's since about September last year and I've had not one complaint about the ride quality... as anybody else will tell you cheap tires will make great suspension feel like ****... I'm on hankook v12 like a couple others here and the ride quality is great.

I just drop my car on road magnets today and Love the way it looks. I thinking was to go with h&r spring before but I wanted alittle lower than h&r which is road magnets. Turns are good ride quality are good and its a 2 inchs dropped all around. N I paid $230 plus free ground shipping off road magnets web site. Original price is $260 There is a cupon code u can put in for 10% off I got off by searching Google n it was on civic forum . I will post pictures soon.

I love the way it looks now with H&Rs. Less than half an inch wheel gap all around and no more "lexus lean". Would still love to see your RMs though!

Picture won't show but if I do decide to change my suspension later on down the road, I'm going Megan EZs. I'm super happy with the H&R's right now and I'm kinda glad I didn't get the RMs. I scrape sometimes on driveways and stuff and I can BARELY get a jack under my car from the sides. From the front, absolute no go lol

Toxicxk23, How do you like your H&R in terms of drive quality? How hash is the ride after H&R?

Feels pretty much stock. Just a tad bit stiffer and I don't really feel any bounciness. So it gets a 10 in my book!
