do the Type R springs fit a sport?

[jeunaske]

Even if they would it wouldn't do you any good. The CTR springs have different spring rates as they are made for the heavier car (EP3). Bottom line, the CTR springs will make your Sport sit funny (front high probably) and they won't be in balance properly.
If you want to lower your Sport, get dedicated lowering springs from Eibach, Spax, etc.

yea i no that, just most springs are advertised as Type R springs

Aye well if you're thinking of putting on aftermarket springs advertised for EP2/EP3 then you should be alright. I don't recommend putting on OEM EP3 springs though.

Somebody correct me if I'm talking sh*t.

yea im goin for 50 ml

Your right

The springs have different rates to compensate for the K20 engine in the Type R being heavier than the D16 in the EP2. Therefore making the front of your car sit high.

Eibach Sportlines are the most commonly used 50 mm springs for the EP2

That's what you need.

Plus...

Eibach Pro Alignment (ideally) Part: EB-5-81280K
D2 camber Arms Part: D2-1-3 D2

Then get yourself a fast road setup, and you should be sorted.

Hope that helps
