Hey guys, I'm thinking that in the summer I'll have enough dough to put some springs on my car. I'm just starting to look, so I need some input. I know that 1TuffRS has progress springs and he likes 'em. I really like how htey look. I'm also looking at the Pro-Kit and the Tokico set that comes with the shocks/struts. DOes anyone have pics of their cars with either of these two? Thanks...
Sean, what kind of springs do you have on your car?

These are H&R Race springs... 2 inch drop in front and 1.75 inch drop in rear. This is what I would recommend.

eibach pro-kit + tokico illuminas

i'd have to say H&R Race Springs as well. no pics tho of my car sorry.

i would have to also recomend H&R springs too.. Pro-Kits are ok.. but i dont like them.

also here are ProKits w/ Illuminas

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Any particular reson you guys suggest H&R? I'm looking for a real stiff ride without lowering the car too much.

H&R tends to make the stiffest spring. the stage 3 race spring is 75-100% stiffer then stock, but its about a 2in drop in the front and 1.75 in the rear. the stage 2 sport springs are 35-50% stiffer then stock w/ a 1.5in drop.

yeah, the H&R are a real aggressive spring. When I take a corner hard, my car hardly rolls at all.

With the h&r's, is it a smooth ride, or can you feel every bump in the road?

bah i like my prokits :D

With the H&Rs it is by no means a wonderful ride, you will feel the bumps. But you'll see the difference in the first hard corner you take.

Dropped with the Tociko springs and tociko "blue" shocks

Im dropped with sportlines:

Heh, Check the sig pic. Pro-kits w/ Illumina's

Who's got the best price on those H&R's? Anybody know? I'm thinking about changing from my skunk2's to H&R's but it would all depend on price and all that.

207$ from tirerack.com

I think there's a pretty big difference between H&R Sport and H&R race springs. The Sports are stiff, but not as harsh, more like Eibach Prokits. The Sports are supposed to lower only 1.5" but I think they lowered a bit more than that. Here are some comparison pics:

Stock height, ugly sticker to cover up scratches:


H&R Sport Springs:




Skunk2 Coilovers at almost highest setting in front, high in rear:


Skunk2 Coilovers at about half an inch lower in front, an inch lower in rear than previous setting:

For those of you with the H&R sports:

are they bouncy? I dont care about harshness or how firm the ride is, i just want to know if they are bouncy at all like on a scale of 1-10, 10 being very bouncy. I just want some opinions before (IF) i buy them. Or should i jsut keep my skunk2's?

sportlines and Tokico blues...17*8 215/45/17...very happy

My H&R sports did not bounce, and neither do my skunk2's. I have GR2 shocks and the rid is really stiff.
