Re: Progress Springs, Tein S Tech's, H&R Springs

Alright thanks guys.

Is it a bad idea to have 2" drop springs and oem struts?

Re: Progress Springs, Tein S Tech's, H&R Springs

im going to say yes. personally as someone who has been through 2 sets of springs on stock shocks and then finally coilovers and back on stock and again on coilovers, do it right the first time. it's going to be cheaper in the long run.

koni yellows or tokico d specs are what most people use. you can even pair the yellows with ground control coilover sleeves and adjust all you want. also keep in mind, depending on wheel and tire size you might not get the drop that ur looking for

Re: Progress Springs, Tein S Tech's, H&R Springs

Well i rock 17's on 215/45 tires.
I won't go any smaller ever.

I saw the skunk2 coilover sleeve's.

I was thinking of getting those and then the tokico's (mainly cause they're cheaper).

But then i saw some people on springs and it's a nice and price friendly drop.

Re: Progress Springs, Tein S Tech's, H&R Springs

and likely bouncy ride and more hassle when they blow. eventually they will blow. oem shocks werent designed for the lower compression, especially at 2 inches. I have no experience with skunks
but i know the blues are just stronger than oem and dont think you should go 2 inches lower with them.

before you drop you gotta factor in the road conditions around you, if you have an exhaust -scrapage, you might need to roll your fenders, camber kit, etc.
with those tires, stechs will give u a 2 finger drop all around.

Re: Progress Springs, Tein S Tech's, H&R Springs

So i have to get struts basically.
And the roads aren't that bad here if you watch out.

So i think this is what i'm going to do;

Progression Springs/Eibach Sportline and Tokico's.

Any have links to nice cheap prices or bargains?

I wish i could just get a deal so i can have everything at one time

Re: Progress Springs, Tein S Tech's, H&R Springs

If you go with the Tein S Techs they will give you about a 1.5 drop all around...if you are staying with stock struts/shocks i would def. go with tein s techs. I have them on my car on stock struts and shocks for over a year now and my shocks and struts are fine....The ride is a bit bouncy but feels similar to stock....if you are going lower than 2 inches i would either go with springs/struts/shocks combination or if you have some money to spend throw some coilovers on the ride.

Re: Progress Springs, Tein S Tech's, H&R Springs

Yea sure..here's a link....like i said its not a huge drop but its noticeable and wont hurt your stock suspension as much as a 2+ inch drop.

Re: Progress Springs, Tein S Tech's, H&R Springs

Nice car, thumbs up!

But i think i'm going to go with the Progress Sport Line springs and Tokico Blues.

Look up a guy named : +MM+

His car is on that setup minus the blue's (he has other gas struts)
and i like the setup a lot. I guess i'll just have to buy the springs first and then let them collect dust until i get paid again to get the struts.

if your ride is bouncy your shocks are blown...
or something else is wrong
