To those who have the fox springs installed, how is the ride? I'm looking for a setup that has a smooth ride, not just for going in a straight line since this is my daily driver? I'm getting either a set of fox springs or H&R's.

I'd suggest H&R or Eibach. Never heard complaints out of either. Fox springs are more for those lookin for budget straight line from the best I know....

Springs from a 4 cylinder Fox body for the fron, and V8 Fox body in the rear cut down a little bit gives great weight transfer for drag racing.

Thanks Will. I was going to get the H&R's but I could save almost $200 by going the fox body route.

I'm guessing that fox springs wouldn't be good for getting in and out of traffic? Anyone with the installed, could you let me know how the ride is?

If you're looking for corner carving, stay away from the 4cyl spring setup. You just need to think about what you do with your car and what will best suit your needs.

I've got the Eibach pro-kit and it rides almost as well as stock.....just a tad stiffer. Make sure you get some aftermarket shocks, they do make quite a difference. I have the Mach Tokicos and I love the way they ride, nice and smooth.

I will not be doing any autocross or anything like that with my car, but I will also not see the track that often either.

well, its similar to stock, probably as close to stock as possible (with exception of maybe the steeda sports which only drop and inch or so...).

Mine is a daily driver, and I love my setup.
