spring/shock: 1st gen VS 3rd gen
Anybody know the exact differences between these two assemblies. Coilover kits for the 3rd gens are half that for the 1st gens and if it's only some minor fab work, I'll do it myself to save the dough. I'm only concerned about why the 3rd gen coilover won't fit a 1st shock and spring/mount top. thanks, rob

Every single coilover arospeed makes uses CIVIC spring rates. They DO NOT create the coilovers based on your cars weight distribution, and thus are complete ****
I agree- with the "crap" coilovers you have no choice. One size fits all. Even with the some of the "name brand" (eibach, H&R, etc) street springs sold for a particular car, you'll find that the rates are geared toward "that" particular car. They just don't provide the adjustability of a coilover.
The weapon-r's, arospeed, dropzones are all pure garbage. if you want to lower your car without cutting the springs, then these would be a good alternative but not if you want performanc.e

It's not that I don't care for the Pro- I do. I specifically hunted down a black LX. But the goal was to do it cheap. I've got two other cars the cash needs to go into right now- so I shouldn't spend anything on the Pro until those are complete- but I keep getting sucked in to these coilovers because they're so cheap (and adjustable).
The car was used by a student to commute from Ala. to GA for school- all hwy miles). The paint is shiny but the car has a lot of dings- among them it looks as though it was attacked by a bike rack and a couple of bikes. Once I'm finished with the other projects I'll start on the Pro. I just need a reliable transportation mode and the Pro is that now. - rob
