I know I read somewhere I can use cheep Honda springs to lower my e28. I only want to go down 2-3 inches so I'm not worried about it affecting ride quality too much. I would like to get something relatively stiff to prevent bottoming out. What springs/adjusters set up can get for less than 100bucks. This is a family car so I would like to have the option of adjustable suspension to change of necessary. This is why I'm not cutting the springs like everyone else. What spring rate and I.d. Should I be searching for?

But you can get coil sleeves and springs from eBay or use the ultimate coilover DIY thread on here on how to build some coilovers. It won't be less than $100 total, but will still be pretty cheap compared to full kits.Just lower it.

He asked if he could get a full adjustable suspension for $100.
I was saying he can't do that but he could build coilovers using the Ultimate e28 coilover guide that the guy with the white e28 on here wrote. It will be less costly than a full setup from gc or ie. but will not be cheaper than $100. Like he was asking about.Just lower it.

Let's make this simple.
Will civic springs and adjusters work?
I can figure out the rest I just can't find springs on egay when I search by height, width, spring rate etc....
If I can use a whole set of civic springs I can go from there.
Or what car springs should I search for(besides e28)
Im really hoping i can use civic springs. I have friend that is really into Hondas for some reason.....long story short he has a ton of Honda parts including multiple sets of cheap adjustable springs/sleeves

Fronts springs and 51mm shocks work from e30 on e28.
I use stiffnes adjustable koni's from an e30 on my e28 with cut up lowering springs.
Those shocks prevent the springs from coming loose when i jack it up or hit bumps 2 hard.
But you need 1/2 inch "filling" because the shock is half an inch shorter
Check this to see the difference between the shocks.
