Spark plugs? Do you have an '03 or an '03.5?

if you don't want your ride too stiff, don't get coilovers. i would put eibachs, h&r, or teins on you stock struts to keep it soft. just keep in mind you'll need to replace the struts after a while of driving on shorter springs.

i have tokico hps and eibach pro-kit (f1.4 r1.2), the ride is not that stiff, good for a daily driver and it looks great. you can do a search to see what p5s look like lowered with different springs, there's a ton of pics on this forum.

not the teins, very stiff, definitly go with eaibach

 

[Bijou-MP5]

I don't know...I have eibach..it's still stiff...

 

[Mike R]

sprint has a 2" drop and aren't stiff. Spark plugs? Only diesels have those...

 

[jadonP5]

no, no, no....change the glow plug.

Eibach all the way. I have the Skunk 2 coil overs and I think I broke my a$$...very....verrrrry stiff(moon) (moon)

Like Vindication said, there is a blowout sale on them right now.

yeah go with espelirs. I'm totally happy with mine and couldn't imagine springs being any better than these for all around performance

 

[Pretzellogic]

What the hell are you talking about? You're asking if you car has spark plugs?

edit: slow down and type using normal English. Seriously, we'll be bale to answer your questions better.

I stopped reading at "does my s*** got"

 

[Pretzellogic]

Eibach is stiff, handles better.

Tein is softer, handles not as well, but still much better than stock.

 

[pr5owner]

eibach is progressive so its both stiff and has a nice ride at normal *city* driving speeds

 

[LapisBlueProteg]

sprint nice ass ride with nice drop!

 

[SciFiMan]

Your s*** doesn't use spark plugs. It's gas propelled. And at least where I live, it's illegal to do a tune up on a little niece.

For springs on my car i took the springs out of a bostich stapler.....nice and cushy ride......cheap too. as far as spark plugs you dont need them. take them out and fill the gap wil playdough. spark plugs=loss of performance and money.

 

[chuyler1]

I heard swinglines are pretty tight. They don't jam as much as the Bostich.
