Which springs for me?

[FunkyBuddha]

Kooldino..if you have RB springs already and you're gettin the squats from the power of the car, then you might wanna consider upgrading your struts as well because springs alone are not gonna hold up that rear end from the acceleration forces of the car. YOu'll get the squats no matter which springs you go with. I suggest getting the Tokico Illumina struts so that you can adjust the stiffness settings.

Eek, I'm just looking for a cheap mod for now. BTW, how much are they?

around $500

how many miles do you have on your car Dana?

if its not so much, then hold off on the Tokico Illuminas for a while. see if the springs' increase rates fix your rear squating under load condition.

^^ No..the squats are still there. My H&R's had them and you'll develop them over time. The times when I notice that they were getting worse and worse.....was when my car hit around 55000km.

how are the sportline or goldline springs?

 

[ONRAILS]

Yea... I was wondering the same. About to get some from friend for pretty cheap. He says they feel the same as the RB's, and the drop is pretty nice.

how are the sportline or goldline springs?

Sportline are by Eibach, last I checked...and they are far different from Goldline.

I have the spool springs and I have no rear squatt, but then again I am not turboed. Also, I dont think you can get spool springs anymore. I'd go for the eibachs pro line. Are you changing the struts too? If you are going with the tokico illuminas 5-way adjustable, I know of a good place to get them for cheap.

Where is this place that sells them for cheap? I will be needing some this spring... I am on Eibach Pro's in my 5 and I love them. They are comfy when driving normally, and they get pretty stiff in the twisties... My stock struts are about done though...
