RS*R springs?, how to tell race from downs

doo0T!doo0T! · 12th July 2007, 12:54 PM

Hey I just whipped my shocks out of the new EG last night to rangi the ride height for a wof and found out it has RS*R coils in it!!
This was nice to find but the question is; is there any way to find out if they are Downs series or Race series by looking at them? I know they arn't the Ti2000 series because they have a different label.
I've been to the RS*R site and both Down and Race springs seem to look identical so how do I tell what I've got?

The reason I rangied my ride height was because with the weight of the H22a and the low sump, the sump and 2ndries on the headers were below 100mm and I failed my wof becuase of it.
I just chucked in a whole pile of bump stops to sit the car up for a wof and I'll pull them out later, dont laugh, it's kiwi innovation right thur.

I have RS*R springs in my civic at the moment and they look slightly different to those ones. Mine don't taper at all.

Here is a pic of the ride hieght of mine with the D obviously.

Sorry, I have to laugh. That's so rangi.

I thought the exhaust wasn't considered part of the car's structure for measuring height for a warrant? See page 8:

Mind you, if your sump is too low then you've got a problem, regardless of if you fail a WOF, IMHO.

Oh you're god damn right it's rangi. I even surprised myself

Yeah I could have argued the fact but I didn't want them to suddenly realise that EG civics dont have H22a's in them factory, I just played it cool.
Hopefully I never strike the sump, it's aluminium so will shatter 8o

I really couldn't tell you. They were in the EG9 Shell I brought a while ago.

But yeah seriously, I was lead to believe only structural parts of the car had to be 100mm or higher, exhaust etc isnt included in that rule. A cert guy told be that too.
