help me decide on springs plz

Post by Young Gunna » Sun May 27, 2007 9:08 pm

Hey guys, ive been reading in this section for a bit
i remember there was a thread with pictures of neons dropped
on different setups, i can't find it anymore

also i want to keep the stock 15"s for a while, i sorta like them
i wanna drop my car. quite a bit, as i hate the wheel gap

im looking at the eibach springs, now i make a run in the twistes every now and then, and this car is my dd

--comfort doesn't really matter that much as long as the spring preforms well in turns.
--i want it to be more comfortble than a coil sleeve setup

--which is tighter in corners, prokit or sportlines?

what other springs are really good?

prokit drop is 1.5", sportlines is 2.5". The sportlines have stiffer spring rates, contrary to what many people claim. I run the prokit and I like it, but its too soft and the drop isnt as low as id like. I got them cheap and they work good for the time being, but if you want high performance and a good drop, shell out the money for coilovers (not cheap sleeves).

If you really want it twisty then look and ride quality (ie comfort aspect) then look into TEIN Coli-overs. Otherwise their S-Techs should be fun with their close front and rear rates Should turn very well.

Don't forget New Struts, alignment angles, poly-bushing kits, upgraded Sway bars (Adjustable rear), Strut bars and wider sticky tires.

Also keep in mind rear sway bar geometry so you will need shortened end links once dropped.
