hey what is up everyone? I got a question about buying just springs. Instead of buying the whole coil overs kit. D2 sales there springs for around 150$ and the coilovers for around 1,000$.
for what it is worth. What is some of your opinions. I don't do Auto Cross, I only go to the Drag strip every once in awhile. So....... Just buying springs will it help at all. Or would I have to buy the whole coil overs kit to be able to tell a difference in handling.
 
Springs will help, lowering the center of gravity and a stiffer spring rate will definitely help both in looks and cornering. Coils still have a lot of advantages over springs but not everyone will use all the features of could and if you know you won't, then you should go with the springs.
 
I can't afford to drop 1000$ on a set of coils at the moment I got to many bills. do you recommend any springs? I would like to be lower but I want them to be stiff at the same Time. I don't want it to fell like I got hydraulics.
 
Yup I jad them for a few weeks, but my car is back at stock ride height.

eibach sportlines. I still have them just in case you want to buy used springs

I couldn't open the attachment, was there any reason for you took them off.
 
When you click on the attachment you probably have to wait few second or just open it in a new window. It was a little bit too low for me.
 
Oh ok. How was the ride, like going down bumpy roads or speed bumps
 
How about the D2 or Skunk2 Springs are they good quality spring?
 
Can you see it now? The ride quality was perfect. It was stiff, but not bouncy.

no I can't see it. I am on my phone it might be that. That is good I don't want it to be bouncy. I might end up buying the eibach.

And thank you for the pictures. I am going to do some more research before I buy some.
