I wasn't expecting you to be from around here ahahahahah. I knew from your profile that you were Portuguese, but I wasn't expecting that you had already spotted my car in CB. It really is a small world. If you're local, we can set up a time for you to see my car in person. Feel free to DM me if you have more questions about the suspension.

You can put lowering springs in B6 too. Bilstein told me you can use OEM springs or lowering springs. These shocks can take both. I installed the Eibach springs, and they are much better than the OEM springs. You can feel that the suspension works much better with the Eibach springs; I even find it more comfortable than the OEM ones, but I think it lowered a little more than I wanted in the front. At the back, it is very good. I have a friend with an EG Coupe with B8 and Eibach, and I feel it is more arsh compared to mine. I'm of the opinion that you shouldn't put EG stuff on MB when there are MB parts available because something has to change in that particular part; otherwise, they are both the same references. Don't use EK springs because the weight ratings are totally different. The spring plate is indeed a little bit small, but I have been running it for two years without a single problem. On the subject of brake lines, I have had mine secured by zip ties for almost two years without a single issue. Now I need to buy a front camber kit because the camber is at -2 degrees. This camber is a tire killer. I leave a picture of my Aerodeck with Bilstein B6 + Eibach Springs.

I have an Aerodeck, but I have the same suspension setup as you have (Bilstein B6 + OEM springs), and yes, the rear gets little suspension travel because the spring is too stretched, getting too stiff at the back. The "solution" I found was to put the 4 shock absorbers on the last groove, which would make the car lower by about 1cm. This will help the spring to have a bit more travel. In a few days I will change to eibach springs.

A small update. The ABS and brake light continue to turn on after a few minutes of drive. I took a bigger trip and the lights turned on and off along the way and I still don't know what the problem is. I disabled the brake fluid level sensor but the lights continue to turn on after a few minutes of drive. ABS still does not report any errors. I've already checked the fuses, connections and some ABS grounds. I will check the ABS sensors and the ABS connector next.

I Dave, thank you for your opinion. I took the test while the lights were on, and they didn't report any errors. I also drove the car until the lights turned on, then I turned off the car, bridge the two pins and still did not report any code (lights were still on after restart). I noticed something after writing this post. During the night on the same day, I slammed twice the brakes and the lights didn't turn on and the ABS worked, which didn't happen before. Could it be because of the heat? Where I live that day were about 40 degrees outside. Maybe the pump has a problem when it's very hot. And yes, the two lights (parking brake light and ABS) turn on simultaneously ever time.

Hello there, I've got a 1999 Honda Civic Aerodeck 1.6i SR (D16W4) and since today I've started witnessing a weird issue regarding the ABS. Basically I was heading home when suddenly my ABS and parking brake light came on shortly after entering a cobble stones road and it stood that way until I finally got home. After that I've turned my vehicle off and let it rest for like an hour. I then returned to the car and noticed that both the lights were off after i started the car. After driving for a few minutes (like 5 minutes) the lights came back on and stood that way for the remaining part of the journey. After that that I've tried to identify potential error codes. i bridge 2 pins in the Data Link Connector (5P), however there were no error to be seen whatsoever and the lights stood on the all time. I then turned the car off once again and let it rest for an hour and just like before, when I got back and started the car, the lights were off. With that being said I've tried slamming the brakes to make sure my ABS was indeed working which it was. After successfully stopping the car with a fully working ABS system, the two lights came back on. After browsing my car's digital service manual (1999 version available on this site) i noticed that my vehicle is equipped with EDB. And according to the manual, if there's an issue regarding the EDB the parking brake light is supposed to come on followed the ABS light. So, is there any problem related to the EBD insted of ABS ? I checked my car's braking fluid and noticed that the fluid level is in the max line. Based on what I just wrote, does anyone know what might be the issue? Could it be the ABS Module? What do you think?
