So many springs??? What are you running?

I have seen so many and I hear that Eibach doesn't have a uniform drop.. you might get 1" you might get 1 3/4"? Don't really like that wanted better quality assurance.. Also what about spring rates? I don't want drag springs but I might like "sport" spring rates? Is there such a thing? Going to be using KYB AGX Shocks so I should be able to be sporty and sometimes be able to drag also.. Turn the fronts all the way up and the rears all the way down rear = Squishy, fronts = stiff .

Re: So many springs??? What are you running?

I have H&R springs on Koni yellows and couldn't ask for a better ride. I was going to go Eibach's but when started looking around, H&R made springs for alot of german cars and a few select domestics so I figured they new what they were doing.

H&Rs lower the car about 1.25" to 1.5" They have high spring rates comparable to LGs springs, maybe higher. I was going to get the LG springs but they had stopped making them a the time. They are great handeling springs. I found them at tirerack.com.

Went to H&R web site.. Don't offer springs for my 1986 Iroc.. So unless someone knows something I don't H&R are out.. Which leaves Drop Zone, Hypercoils, Eibach, Intrax, Ground control... Keep the replies coming...

my website shows my 93 Z before and after springs.
And that isn't after 2 weeks. They drop alittle more after 2 weeks or so, not much.

I prefer by far eibach's. Pro: for less scraping, less effort to drive over stuff, slightly smoother.

My friend had Sportlines on his 96 TA. I liked the look alot, I was alittle jelous. A little rougher, more effort.

Drop Zone. lol, I have a set on my saturn. piece of crap. at least for that car. bumpy as hell, powdercoat or mabey they accually painted them, flakeing off after 10k.

eibach's coat stayed strong and wipe clean after years.

Different note: I bet BMR's are pritty good (guessing) they make good products, nice quality.

Unless your going with big rims and tires You could have really gone lower, That's what I don't like about eibach.. some ppl get a 1.5 drop soem get a 1.75 drop some get more of a drop after 2 weeks, there's something wrong with those springs..

I don't think alot of people know about Hypercoils, So here is a link..

I found Vette Brake Products while looking for a cheaper alt route for wheel spacers..
