What springs to get?

Whats up everyone. Im in the market for some aftermarket springs. I would love a coilover suspension, but do not have the funds. Im looking for some input on a couple questions:

1) What spring setup your using?

2) How much of a drop it made?

3) How it rides?

4) Any issues come up after installing?

Im looking for a setup that will drop it enough to fill in the wheel well gap between the tire but do not want a super bumpy ride.

Thanks(thumb)

when i had a ms3 i went with the dropzone springs. WAY agressive drop looked amazing and they were very inexpensive. not a huge change on drivability but a little bit.

Sounds like what Im looking for. How much do you think it dropped it, and where did you buy the springs from.
Also any pics by chance.

Thanks
 
Im running the Eibach Pro Kit Springs w/ stock dampers on my speed, the ride is good but it still needs a better damper to go with these...bumps are good and handles better then stock at highway speeds. I think mine has settled to about an inch drop, but that could contribute to the dampers allowing the springs to sag. Spend the money and do the struts/shocks at the same time if possible. Yeah coilovers are nice, but they can be a rough ride with the shorter springs and higher spring rates...daily driven cars ride better with a spring/shock combo IMO. You will get more bounce with just about any set, but you will adjust to that..I haven't had any issues out of this set up...Hope this helps you decide!

I also have the Eibach pro kit, had them for about a year now, no issues/complaints at all. Dropped about 1" all around maybe a hair more since they did settle a bit even though Eibach says they dont. I dont really care for the super slammed look and its not all that practical for me so i think these are a good fit for looks and performance.

If you can afford to wait, get a decent pair of shocks to go with the springs. Aftermarket springs alone will kill your shocks very quickly. And you'll end up spending a lot more to correct the alignment/dampening issues that come along with it.

Just my 2 cents...
