Hey everyone, I was wondering if I should get new springs on my 131,000 mile car. I just bought Bilstein HDs, and was wondering about springs. The car doesnt see very many turns...a trip to the mountains once a month. It mostly sees the straight line. But I was just wondering if I should get new springs or not and what kind. Thanks!

 

stock springs enough or should I go with a little drop? Possible the Pro-kit or some drag launch springs? Any info would be cool!

 

I think stock springs are okay for everyday driving, I'm scraping all over the place on my stock ride height already. The mountain around here are riddled with bumps, rough patches, ditches, and gravel. Kicking up that gravel in a lowered car may chip the paint more. Plus the bumps and ditches would probably hurt the handling of a lowered car more.

With that said, I would just get a bigger front sway bar , like a 35mm. Then if you are still not happy, invest in non lowering springs with higher springrate.

 

Hey thanks for the reply! Yea I'm checking into it right now...not sure if i really need springs or not. If all else fails, I'll do what you said cause i'm not looking to slam it to the ground or anything like that. I kind of want stiffer springs that don't reduce the height (or increase). if i had to go lower...than only like an inch at the MAX.
