Spring ID - need confirmation

@kenny_h. Can you assist on this. Remembering / thinking you might have some info that could help.

@Ruptured Duck if you are using adjustable shock you have at least 1" of adjustment
If you are just trying to shorten the spring on a stock pogo stick I have not a clue

I think have a set in the shop I can check.
You can have them if I do just need to get them to you.
I also inherited another Cat and Muffler if you need them as well.

The info I have is for the Hyper Coil springs that I installed on my QA1s

But I also have my set of stock shocks collecting dust if you need them.

2.5" springs will fit stock shocks. If you go with 10" length at 250#, it will lower the front about 7/8".

The back is a little bit trickier since there is no spring rate and length that we have found that is a direct plug and play to get the same drop in the back. We ended up using a threaded sleeve in the back to test on ours and get the ride height correct.

Hope that helps,
Dave

asked the question in the tech section but only got crickets.....

What are the Spring ID's

Front - 1-7/8", 2"?
Rear - 2-1/2"?

Thanks...

My mic says 2-5/16, but 2-3/8 is probably the size you'd be looking for. front and rear were the same id

@Dave@DDMWorks thanks... That was what I was looking for. The rear info is good because I was wondering about that.7/8" would be perfect. Guess I'll now look at a simple rework of the rear bracket to lower the shock mounting point by about 3/4" - 7/8".
Simple enough. Will require cutting of the stock bracket to clear the shock housing.
Might just make a stronger mount anyway.
Boy was I off on the IDs... Was away from the SS and was having a brain fart for sure.

Just ordered a set of QA1 springs to test. With shipping they came to $109.00
Hope they ship out of the GA warehouse.
Now to look for poly bushings for the stock shocks, and see if they can even be replaced.
Get to play tonight in the garage a little.

Thanks again. Hope you got the info I sent you

You probably can find some poly bushings for the stock shocks, I would probably not worry too much about that though, let me know if you need any help with that though.

I will see what I can find on the rear spring and pearch we were using here. We had one of the simple adjustable coilover sleeves you can get off Ebay for not much that we used on the stock rear shock with a spring. That combination allowed us to adjust pre-load on the spring and get the ride height to match the front. You might take a look at going that path for the rear since it is relatively inexpensive to do, here is what the pearchs we used looked like for testing -

88-91 CIVIC CRX EF SI JDM ADJUSTABLE DAMPER COILOVER ALUMINUM SLEEVE SET RED KIT

Our plan was to just make a new billet mount like we offer now that was just a little bit shorter and sell it with the front springs. If people end up liking what you are doing, we could put that all into production pretty quick actually.

Thanks again for the info you sent over, really appreciate it!

As always if there is anything we can help with, just let us know.
Dave

Anyone want to sell me your used OE shocks and springs

I'll give you mine, I don't need them. No idea about shipping, I'll check tomarrow

@Ruptured Duck
Sorry I didn't get back to you today - friggin work is such an interference in my life.

I am pretty sure I have a set of stock shock plus a muffler and cat if you need it.
Not sure how much it will cost to ship.

@Ruptured Duck I have a set of OEM shocks with only 500 miles on them. They are red but I'd be happy to ship them to you.

Great. I hAve your address but it would take me hours to find it. PM it to me and I'll get them out tomorrow.

And... Sorry, but not my paint but Factory Red!
