Need some lowering spring advise

[Djlockjaw80]

I am thinking about lowering the speed. My question is what spring out there has the best ride comfort? I am looking for as close to stock ride feel as possible. I was looking at maybe the cobb springs that lower you 1" all around. Are they any good? Any advise would be great.

I personally went with the eibach pro kit. after the springs settle its just about 1" drop all around and the ride isnt bouncy. I believe they are the cheapest springs too at $204 from Aaron at JSC.

springs make you bouncy and put more stress on the stock shocks. Some people have report their stock shocks going out at 15k some not till later

Some people also report stock struts going on stock springs around 21-25k. The eibach doesnt slam the car. I guess I will find out how long my shocks last in due time.

I've had both the Cobb's and H&R's. I can tell you H&R's are nothing like stock, and are not comfortable. That beings said, I love them and wouldn't trade them for the world. They are nice and low and tight, and feel great for me. When I was running the Cobb's I was fairly happy with them, but looking back I think I should have been less happy. They drop it around 1" and felt quite a bit like stock, but they did float.

I'm at 35000 KM's with stock struts running lowering springs the whole time I've owned the car pretty much, and my struts are fine.

I ordered a set of Vogtland lowering springs. Lowering is 1.2" F&R.

I have the Eibachs installed on my MS3. Overall it feel just a tad bumpier, but the sharpness and quick response is definitely worth it. I dont think its settled completly yet, but i believe the back went down .5 inches and the front went down 1". maybe a tad more on both. But I HIGHLY recommend it. Got a good deal from Ken@PG. y second choice were the COBBs.

Many people will tell you thought that its pretty damn hard to improve your car handling without compromising your daily driving comforts. Its just a matter of how much you want push your comfort.

If you want a nice, controlled ride, don't replace your springs without upgrading your dampers.

The stock dampers can't even keep up with the stock springs...

i have experience with H&R and cobb. the cobbs seemed a bit bouncier. the H&R's rode better.

 

[madvillian]

the h&r's rode better than what? getting dragged down the street on your chin?

i have cobb and they are really nice and comfortable to me.

I've always used Eibach's on my cars, cheaper than most, and I've never had a complaint about them.

 

[mazdaspeedster3]

Just installed the Eibachs on the car last night. 30 miles ride home and I am pleased so far!

Do the Eibachs improve squat under acceleration much? That's what I'm looking for.

can anyone chime in on roadmagents? I'm wondering if anyone has them?

Do the Eibach's get rid of the gap between the fender and tire in the rear? That's as far down as I wanna go

we've sold plenty of RM springs. the drop is pretty nice and i've heard mostly positive comments on them. jbird317 has them here on the forums.
