before anyone says anything, yes, i used the search function, mostly to no avail. I want some definative answers and opinions on lowering springs.

my currents suspension setup (stock[gay]) isnt cutting it anymore, there is too much weight transfer and body roll while sliding and i need something better for the time being

i have a set of kyb agx shocks/struts. i need some springs to put on these. back in the day i got some of those cheap ebay coilover bullshits but after looking at them, theyre not going on my car, no way.

ive been looking around and the rs*r race springs seem to be what i want to use, but i just wanted some opinions from people that know much more than me about suspension setups. other springs i am considering are the eibach springs and the tein ss springs. this setup is only going to be on my car for a few months while i save for some tein flex with the edfc, because those are pimp. any opinoins? thanks.

Bill was pointing me towards eibachs + AGX... If its good enough for bill, its prob good enough for you too :)

yes i remember the fun with the cut sprins, hehe, you think eibach? im looking for the stiffest non progressive spring i can find, and i think the eibachs are progressive.

i have eibachs and AGXs, but i want something stiffer. seeing as how you already have the shocks i wouldnt suggest going for some koni yellows, but i think youre right on in going for the RSR springs. good, stiff stuff.

eibachs and Agxs are good for streetability and infrequent track use, but more often than not i just keep wishing i had some stiffer springs.

and you dont need coilovers, not until you make that car a bonafide track slut. its just not necessary... sure, its uber-bling, but you can save that money for the things you will very likely break if you start drifting.

8/6 rocks the fucking house , my car makes way less power than the other DOHC's out there and I can still rock the mic, cause the sus is so damn bling

if you can wait 3 more weeks of saving up, get the coilovers.


plus you can slam the car on its NUTS and have full sus travel!

no 4x4 look for me!
