12759, need pics! all diffrent kinda of springs Posted by loudgs, Oct-15-02 06:45 AM
I've finally saved up for a decent set of springs ($300) I'm looking at several diffrent kinds and was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to post pics for me, I'm looking at Eibach prokits, sportlines, H&R, or Sprint, any help would be appreciated

cool, I needed that too, I just wanted to see some various springs on different DSMs to see the stance afterward, I'm a complete suspension Newbie, I saw one today on prokits tho and really liked it, just wanted to get some idea of what stance other springs gave

unless you are going too fast and hit a pot hole, then you might, but other than that, no problems. over bridges other things like that, it just goes right over and no problem. the ride will be stiffer so you will feel alot more of the road. but no problems with bottoming out. later

schweet, guy's you've been great, right now I've narrowed the search down to 2, I like the H&R and the Eibach sportlines, anyone know which is better? or is it a matter of preference?
oh and EvMan, that would be greatly appreciated bro, I'd like to see it

get ground controls. You will thank me later. I personally thought sportlines were too low. Sold them, now I wish I was just slightly lower. I have a pro kit. I would get GC's if I could go back, to give me adjustability to choose a ride height.

12776, RE: need pics! all diffrent kinda of springs Posted by loudgs, Oct-16-02 07:32 AM
Where can I get those at a decent price?

H&R sports. Ride is excellent, cornering is good. IMO, a harder strut will compliment these springs perfectly. The ride is just a *hair* soft, mostly when cornering. An adjustable strut would be a perfect match.

sweet, I just made a deal with a guy for some team dynamics 18x7's, I think I'm gonna go with the prokits, too scared to go anything more than those
