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?

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.

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.

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:

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?
