Civic Type-R Owners Club & Forum

Hello guys, I have just got my self a 2005 final edition ep3 type r and would like some advice please, what would be the best oil to use for servicing and spark plugs?

Also what would be the best lowering springs?

Thanks

Sunny

ABP Eibach Sportline 30mm, with front camber bolts and rear camber arms with a fast road geometry. Might as well put the JDM rear anti roll bar on as well. Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 5W-40 oil seems to be the go to.

Can anyone give me some advice please

For oil you want a fully synthetic ester based oil. Most people use 5w40 as its a good oil for all year round use. I would say oils to look at would be either Fuchs pro s or millers nanodrive 5w40. As for spark plugs just buy some NGK laser iridiums same as what Honda would sell you but half the price. With lowering springs what sort of drop are you looking for? Really it's personal preference with how low you want to go. Eibach springs are good quality and they make a few different kits for different heights. Make sure you buy camber bolts for the front and camber arms for the rear. This will enable you to set the geometry properly and actually gain some extra grip and good tyre wear not just looks. Hope this is of some help pal.

Hi Sunny,

We would recommend 5w/40 grade Fully Synthetic engine oil. We use Shell Helix Ultra if it helps?

For the Spark Plugs I would use NGK or Genuine Honda. We stock NGK.

Springs, go for Eibach. We stock Eibach 15mm lowering or our ABP / Eibach -30mm progressively wound springs. 5 year Warranty!

Eibach 15mm Springs £164 inc vat
or
ABP / Eibach 30mm Springs £125 inc vat (on our Christmas offer - normally £150)

Hope this helps?
