Which Springs For Me?

I like the FRPP 'B' springs I've got on my car. I was looking for springs that were as close to the stock spring rates as possible. The ride is great and the stance is perfect.

I will 2nd that observation.... here is what my car looks like with FMS B Springs, and KYB Fox Shocks and Struts with no top isolators in the front.

I've got the bullitt kit for-sale, look at my sig, comes with tokico shocks and struts, front and rear sway bars, and 1" bullitt lower springs.

(for instance, the way Matt's car sits absolutely rocks). That's the look I like.

Agreed ... I love that look.

BUT ..... Matt, you have coilovers, correct?

I'm happy with my Sportlines on my GT; it sits evenly, and rides pretty good still. I am probably gonna need the CC plates, but I don't drive it that much, so it's not really a big deal right now...

Likewise, I like them but don't have CC plates yet either but the car isn't driven ofter...just couldn't pass up the deal.

moderate lowering job: eibach prokits
modest lowering job: eibach sportlines
extreme: h&r supersports.

and yes, get cc plates

Well, I've narrowed it down to 2 springs. I considered the Bullitt/Mach1 kit ... but that just won't be low enough for my taste.

It will be either Eibach Sportline's or H&R Super Sport's. One problem left ... will a 255/45/17 clear if I get either of those? The sidewall is pretty thick ... but that's what I have to deal with for now. I don't really care for the "tucked" look ... will it look like this with those tires?

Doug, what size you run up front?

Also, it looks like I may be getting the Tokico HP struts & shocks. Any feedback on these?

H&R Supersports for sure!

Those be what I run - Shane made me a great deal on his barely used ones. Come to think of it, I think he ran H&R's and the HP's before he went to Bilstein coilovers - maybe see if he has a pic of the stance (and feedback about the combo) with his old suspension [if someone with the same stuff didnt already post]? His taste is impeccable.

I am pretty easy to please (I had the OEM dampers on the car before the HP's) but I think they do a real nice job, esp with what is already not much spring movement (compression) to work with. My OEM dampers were pretty tossed, and there was a very marked improvement with the HP's. That's the best I got.

Those H&R's look pretty nice.................

Good luck with the decision.
