Best drop kit for a MSP

[ICEMAN.2]

Which coil springs kit is the best for a nice drop on a MSP ???

The Tein S techs look and ride great. I loved them when I had them.

IMO, the Search springs will give you the best mix of handling & good looks.

I just had the Eibach Pro Kit just installed on my MSP 2 weeks ago. Initially, I thought that the Sportline would have been too radical a drop since their installation required camber bolts, but after seeing how my MSP has turned out I wish I had gone for the Sportline instead. The car looks good and rides quite nicely now. With the stock rims on there is about 3/4" space between the fenders and the tires, but I wish that the tires were tucked just a bit under the fenders. It think that it would have been a better result. At two weeks, I don't expect it to settle much more so I guess that I'll have to change next year and do coil-overs.

Quick summary of what a search will tell you in the 237 threads it will bring up.

Tein - Feel softer then stock RB springs (They are not actualy softer, they have a confirmed higher rate) Back drop is minimal in most cases. Not as bad as the Spool springs but it has been mentioned.

Eibach Pro kit - Less agressive. I have heard these called choppy and bouncy by people( I can't imagine them being THAT different) but most everybody who has them loves them.

Eibach Sportline - The lowest of the three overall, I have these springs and I couldn't be happier. I tuck just a bit on the front and ALMOST tuck the rear. It did alot to help the raised rear look the MSP has stock.

MSP with Eibach Pro Kit installed

Here are a few pics from this weekend of the newly installed Eibach Pro Kit springs installed on my 2003.5 MSP. A bit more of a tuck would have been nice, but I'll leave it like it is for this season and then do coilovers next season.

For anyone who didn't pick up on my humor, the link I posted should answer ALL ?s regarding which springs are best for whatever you're looking for.

I believe they are all pretty much the same..

Tein is IMO a better spring. It has a rubber stopper on each end of the spring that will reduce the clicking of the suspension...

The teins are probaly the best after market spring for combining comfort and quality.
I just wish the dropped the rear a little more.

My local speed shop said to me to not drop my car more than a quarter of an inch due to my racing beat coils already drop my car .75 inch and the tokico will not support that and will not last very longer

Bah, what do they know? I think GCs or iON's race springs are the only ones that will actually wear out your Tokicos faster & iON even said it's only shortens the life by 10%.

If a MADD!!! DROP is what you are after, It's alot more money, but HOLY s*** what a suspension kit..

TEIN - SS !
