What have you done to your P5 today?

we all know you say H&R, but i don't want a STIFF SPRING ALL THE TIME

i like the street driveability Espilar offers

and it's already been said, the tires caused that spin, not the springs
 
noticed i am spewing out quite a bit of black fluid from teh exhaust

lots of little speckles of black behind the exhaust pipe from the vid made lastnight

I've only put 40 miles on it since header install and ECU reset, so, it could still just be getting used to teh header being there
 
It's just carbon mixed with condensation...best guess.

And the Espeliers are just as stiff as the H&R's, the espeliers just have progressive rear springs. If you're going with springs, you're gonna be stiffer than stock anyway, so it's easier to just accept it.
 
Ripped the bra off the b**** & strutted up the freshly installed MP3 wind splitter on in to work today. Subtle pimpin!
 
Either if you try hard enough and have a stiff enough rear sway bar. Hell, I tripodded at stock ride height with the RT-615s.
 
grr...not the answer. i was gona pick the one that won't. lol

Seriously though, which gives a better city ride? That's the one i will get.

I won't ever hit the track with the car, i just want to eliminate the wheel gap while making it a little more fun to drive.

ooo...reminds me of a future project - New in box Espelirs sitting in the garage that need to magically need to jump themselves into place on the car vs. me having to take it all apart again & do them myself.

Ask Derek about 3 wheeling with 3 people in my car at stock ride height. I think I scared them.

To be honest, once you lower the car, I don't think you're going to tell much of a difference between those two regarding ride quality. You'd notice more in the twisties. The rear end of the espeliers has the potential to be unpredicatble due to the progressive spring rate. And I'm not just picking on the Espeliers when I say that. I'll say the same about any Eibach kit that's progressive too. I drove a Protege on Sportlines and I couldn't stand it.
 
i'll probably end up with H&R's anyways, just cause Espilars are uuber hard to come by

but we'll see when the time comes
 
I kinda miss her.

Then I remember what I'm driving home from work in 20 minutes and the feeling fades slightly.

I'm rocking H&R's I love em and I got a sweet deal on them too.

+1 for H&R's
