Alright so I've done a couple of searches on lowering msp's and I don't really get the whole spring rate thing and how it works, but I basically am having a hard time choosing what springs to get. I want to if anything improve the handling on my msp but I am a daily driver and don't want them to be too stiff, just a tad stiffer than normal if any. I'm going for more of handling than looks on this one. Anyone's help and/or pictures would be help.
Springs for msp

Spring rate simply refers to how stiff the springs are. If you still want to keep your kidneys, you don't want springs with too high of a spring rate. You probably want something like the Eibach Pro's that has a mild drop and just a bit stiffer... my 2 cents.

Based on your description you want moderation. I have the eibach pro's and they would seem to meet your description in my opinion. Check my sig, I think it's page 4 or so where the spring pics are located. They have settled a touch more than those pics show but you get the idea. NExt to a stock MSP the front drop is very noticeable. It only moved the back down about 1 finger. The ride is much like stock on this progressive rate spring. Good luck choosing.

I would describe the ride to be very similar to stock. They feel somewhat softer when not pushed. But the second you start to push the car they definitely grab slightly better than stock. The progressive rate design would seem to live up to it's billing with these springs. Again, the drop is somewhat subtle in the back and noticeable in the front. Also mine took a solid 3-4 weeks to fully settle.chrisjw85 said:

I plan on getting Goldlines as soon as I can come up with $150.

One thing that is tricky is on Adventon they show as $300 but are actually $187 and around $200 shipped which is a great deal IMO. I was really happy with this mod, but sometimes I wish I would have gone lower to satisfy the ricer within.

I just ordered a set of sportlines from www.racingextreme.com they are members of the forum and great to work with. I got a heck of a deal on my Eibachs from them. Sportlines are a little stiffer than pro kit. I think the pro kit may actually have a lower spring rate than stock MSP springs. Not sure though. (scratch)
