Which springs?

[MP52266]

Hi fellow P5 owers,
I need some opinions, I looking into buying some spring for my P5
and I can't decide which springs I should go with. I have three choices Eibach sport, H&R sport, Tien sport. Out of these three brands, which of these do you recommend?

One my thing if any of you ower any of these springs can you send me pic so I can see the actual drop on these?

Thanks,
MP52266

i'm not sure on hte rates, but i think the eibach are comparable to the MP3/Mazdaspeed springs, which are very close to the H&R's. the Teins are a little stiffer than the MP3/Mazdaspeed springs, and are less expensive. I would get the Teins, but that's me.

I dunno about rates either, but I have the H&R's installed on my protege5...

it's pretty damn low, and kinda stiff. (not nearly as stiff as 350# springs on my 7, but stiff nonetheless)

I waited on Spool springs, and I am glad I did. I went from skunk2 coilovers, to these springs, and an amazing difference. This pic is the day I did the drop, the back has settled about another .5 inch. I will put my 18s' on this weekend, and post some pics. The ride though overall, is great. No complaints from the wife It did end up being a 2" drop F&B. Hope this helps.

How much do the Spool springs run?

Get spools. They are the best. They are about $199.00 on the spool turbo site. Just go order up a set.

anyone know how the rates of the spool compare to the H&R?

the H&R make the car handle very nicely at the limit out on the track. Albeit a tad underdamped up front with teh stock P5 shocks..
