Hey, I've heard a few people talkin about going with sedan springs on the coupe. What's the deal with that? Are there any benefits or anything? Also, I'm lookin for a set of springs that are of decent quality, but don't cost a whole lot. I'm lookin for a 1.8 inch to 2 inch drop for under $200. Any Ideas?

looks like we're looking for hte same thing AEM. well the 2 i can think of are the neuspeed sport and goldline. goldline is a flat drop, like the front and rear are the same height, and hte neuspeed is the front lower that rear drop. only differences i can think of.

Well, I want to swap over to springs, but the ones I'm askin about are really for one of my friends. She asked me to order them for her. But if they look good on her car then I'll probably get some. I need struts too but damn they're expensive!!

daddy is back. i went to LA tech to see my g/f. she didnt come home this past weekend from school, so she wanted me to come and see here. she made me promise that i wouldnt get on the comp and talk to you guys.. she said that i was all hers and she wasnt sharing me with you all. so she won because she is a lot prettier that yall. dude driven on the stock steelies is so cool. i am more pimp now than i have ever been.

i have the neuspeed race springs, 2 in front, and 2.25 in back. a camber kit is a must on those(i found out the hard way) need new tires in back. front is good, but the pot hole took one out. i know how to put them on. i get them for 145 shipped to my door. i will have to figure out where i got them from. will get back to you on that. did one of my friends headlights on his black 7thgen. hope too see a lot more of him with us. todd, he is the guy that i told you about in lafayette.

Hey Nuts, I have the Ground Control coilovers. They're pretty good, and I love the way I can get rid of all my wheel gap no matter what size rim/tire setup I go with. But no matter how high or low you have them set, you're still riding on that tiny little spring and my car bounces like a *********a. Especially with blown struts. The only reason my struts are still on my car is to hold the coilovers in place! [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
Hey JW, I remember you telling me about your boy in Lafayette. I saw him pimpin around town a few times, but I haven't seen him in a while. Is he still here?

WTF? that tire is way to wide. mine is 215 and its very wide. no, that would be to wide. i think the widest you can fit is 225.

damn! thats all u can get with the 18" katana c-7s. the have Exel version 7 and the smallest you can get are (225/40/18). does anyone know if that wont fit?

WTF, I thought you were getting gold lines? Can't make up your mind, lol, too funny. This is like the 5th time you changed your mind. You may have problems keeping your camber straight with 18's on those springs cuz it will tuck (I think, that is if those springs give the bigger drop.) You'll be rubbing if you do have your camber corrected though.

i was looking at those tornactive coilovers for 140 bucks. not to shabby. they look just like the GCs and its says its made by a big specialty company that gave tonactive naming rights....hmmmm.....they could be GC's wtih the tornactive name or something close. lol, andy i don't think i'll ever find what i want. i change my mind every freakin day!!!!!![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]. i'm just gonna order a rear camber kit with the money i got now so i'll have it for the day i order some srings damnit.......i'm worried about my shocks......how are yalls doing? i know AEM's are blown right? is the ride absolutley unbearable with blow shocks or is it alright? i know its *** to ride on but i'm just wondering cuz if they blow i'd be like a month before i could get new ones.

I've been riding stock struts for almost five months and they aren't blown. I don't drive like a lunatic hitting 50 shots like someone we all know (Todd) cough, cough, lol. Yeah, I drive my car pretty well, so I think they'll last at least 6 months. I plan to get koni's soon anyways though but you should be fine riding stock for at least 4 months I'd say. And coilovers for 140...hmm, that sounds a little too good to be true.... I say go with a 1.75" drop and you'll be happy if you have 18's, that should be the perfect drop with no gap and no tucking or rubbing. Good luck.

Oh, let's all make fun of the boy with the blown struts!!!! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]
****in slongs......[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG]
lol j/k
My struts have been blown for about a year. Of course, my car bounces a bit more than it would if my struts actually functioned. Bottom line is...the lower you drop your car, the more it's gonna bounce, and the faster your struts are gonna blow. It'll bounce a bit more with springs because they're somewhat shorter and stiffer, it'll bounce even more with coilovers because the spring is much smaller and much stiffer. I want to get new struts but I don't feel like spending 5 or 6 hundred dollars......so I'm waiting for a new company to come out with struts for our car and/or lower prices. It's really not THAT bad. Sure, my girlfriend likes to describe it as "riding a rollercoaster", but she also loves to make fun of me for no reason at all. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG] And it has nothing to do with me driving like a maniac. However, Andy's right about the 50 shot.......as soon as I hit that button the first time, I felt my struts blow. [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] lol
