opinion on springs

these are my 2 options h&r 1.3 i belive the drop is really more i have been told this by people or goldlines 1.75 what is the better spring to go with.


Question 2 is I have 205/45/16 yoka's on rims i am looking to get the factory kinda gap or lower will 1.5-1.7 drop give me that kinda look I also sont want to go to low to the ground.
If i dont lower it will have way to much gap. THank you all

Prokit gives you most "stock" look without the excessive gap. H&R is a good drop after that. I have Sportline but for some reason it looks even lower than H&R.

Get race springs for a coupe. Better ride quality.

ive get H&R sport springs
i used to have these and they were pretty good ride quality till my shocks went and i got something better. i havent had gold lines but when i first heard bout these back in year 01 i heard they were crap
the guys that had it were bouncing every where but i guess they smarted up and made it better.

i dont think u will have gap. right now im running at about the same set up i had on my old springs just the ride is hard, but i have 1/2 finger gap (thats with 15's) so if i were to run 16's they would prolly be no gap. (sweet)

measure out the gap when you put on your on your wheel and tire combo, figure out the look you want, and then get the appropriate drop, i have owned just about every make of spring on my last 4 vics, plus all the set-ups friends have had, i have seen no diff. in quality, just, right now i have matrix 2.5f and sprint 2.0r, i see no diff. in ride quality, spring quality, sagging, etc, than i have w, neuspeed, eibach, H&R, lightspeed, can't even remember them all, just make sure you get the right drop in terms of the amount you want to go down....

when i was shopping for my springs (i ended up getting H&R) i just surfed the member ride pics until i found people with setups that had the drop i wanted. maybe PM "icey", he had the best looking example of an H&R drop i could fine... but it doesn't look like his pics are posted on the site anymore. nothing compares to actually seeing it on a car before you get it, i'm very pleased with my H&R sports with 215/45 tires.
