DMS springs???

i was told that Dynamic Motorsports springs are the best because they lowere the car just as much as Eibachs and still give you good handling with closer to the stock ride??? thanks

i dont like my dms springs. they are way too mushy for my tastes. however they do lower the ride just right. looks good, but doesnt handle that well. id much rather have the stiff ride and handleing of the eiback sportlines

yeah, i meant pro kit....sorry. but when i got my springs i replaced the shocks with the factory z shocks, brand new, and the ride is still really mushy. as for the look, its great! but i want handleing, not looks. if i need a set of bilsteins, so be it. but for now....i gotta work on the engine

help me out in deciding....im in a fix

I think so ... since the new springs are a lot stiffer its harder on the stock shocks as they try to compensate, so the ride isn't as nice and they wear out a lot faster. You have to take off the springs to put in new shocks so there isn't a better time to upgrade.

Works good for me ... gives me plenty of nice bass and if I remember right I don't think I have the amp set to more then half. I definately miss it when I have it turned off for something. For my tastes a bigger setup would just be overkill and take up t-top space.
