WTB: 89-91 Civic/CRX Rear Springs
 
Looking to get rear set of 89-91 Civic/CRX stock springs (will take all 4 if you don't want to separate a full set)

No aftermarket springs please, unless they are Tein H-techs.

PM me or reply here. I'm willing to drive far to pick up a set if it's worth it. :thumbup:

UPDATE:
I actually only need the rear springs now. If anyone has them sitting around I'd be happy to take tham off your hands and pay for shipping. Thanks

I have some '92 civic rear springs... not sure if they will fit or not, they are brand new, bought them for my vx then I sold it, the are oem from the honda dealer, I'm also about an hour from Minneapolis.

The EG springs are about 1.5-2" taller, IIRC. They're a good way to add preload to the existing suspension in 4th gen Civic/CRX's.

I've got the OE springs, somewhere, which are generally used to lower EG chassis Civics approx 2"

I'm holding off on 92-95 springs due to the height difference..I'm trying to keep my VX lowered but still ride nice. The preload would kind of counteract my idea here, but not as bad/rough as the Ksports that are still on the back now.

I would be glad to take them off your hands, jsut PM me what you want for them or I could hit you up on AIM.

You should probably get them from Ben, cuz I'ma have to dig to find them. I had them out before to measure for BenNelson's Electro-Metro, but they've since been buried again.

TomO 12-15-2009 05:16 PM

Ok, I will pursue that route first...thanks for letting me know right away.:thumbup:

No problem. If it comes down to it, it will cost about $20 to pack/ship them, I think. They won't quite fit in a medium flat rate, and I can't compress them and package them... for obvious reasons. :thumbup:

That would be interesting, lol.

Warning on Package:
"Open with this end facing away from face and anything valuable!"

Open package, and springs fly out ala can of peanut brittle style with worms. :thumbup:

Unfortunately, I've actually seen improperly mounted coil springs launch about 30 feet out and probably a good 30 feet in the air, finally coming to rest across two power lines, making the town not very happy with my friend.

OT note -

The voltage/amperage in service lines is enough to literally cut a spring in half if contact is made strongly enough. Consequently, the surge will probably kill one or more transformers.

That would've been a sight to see! :D :eek:


Just an update:
I might have a local guy with the springs I need so my deal with Ben is on hold until I hear back from potential flaker guy (most local guys from the car forums tend to flake out on buying things)
