    hello sana may makatulong.

    nagpapalit po kc akong ng springs back to stock sa banawe.
    My car is a 1999 Honda civic VTi.

    pinabalik ko sa stock ung springs.

    kaso nung nakabit na mataas ang harap.
    mas malapad ng 2-3 fingers ung harap.

    baka po kc mali ung springs na nilagay sa harap.
    parang nakatingala kc cya.

    question lang pareho lang ba ang stock springs ng SIR and Vti 1999 models?

    at kung may idea po ba kayo magkano ang springs ng harap ng 1999 Vti?

    kung nagkamali ng springs, pwede pa ba ipalit to? sa tamang pang 99 vti?

    Perhaps they are not same. SIR civic kind like more stronger than the VTI so I assume its not the same. Well, the SIR sounds cooler and probably got driven harder so the spring are diff. I would suggest the VTI, it has less HP (mayberry style) so it wasn't mistaken as a racing car like the SIR might have.

    VTi has a smaller engine which is a Single Overhead Camshaft (SOHC) while SiR has a Double-Overhead Camshaft (DOHC). SiR's engine is much much heavier than of the VTi's SOHC. I think their coil spring has a difference with its thickness. Not sure really if they do have different springs since I kept my stock coil springs with me when I lowered my VTi so I didn't have that same kind of problem when I returned it to its original state and didn't bother to research about it... I'm just giving you an idea that it should be different. If ever you don't find your answer anywhere try and call Honda of any branch and talk to their parts and services dept.

    to answer the question, yes magkaiba. mas mabigat makina ng SiR kesa sa VTi. meron sa ibang brand ng lowering spring to differentiate SOHC and DOHC.

    different spring rates for SiR and Vti.

Pareho lang ba ang stock springs ng 99 Civic Vti sa 99 Civic SIR?
