new springs?which ne?

Hey guys,

Long time no write. Well anyway, I just got bought myself some KYB AGX. Since I changing my shocks I mind as well change the springs. I don't should I keep my old springs or buy some new one. Which one to get? I don't care about dropping my car. Last weekend I just cross the 330k mark on speedometer.

330k is that all

Stock springs are JUNK! Go to www.tirerack.com and order you some H&R OE sports(.75" drop) $150

Is H&R OE sports some good springs. I heard that drop zone sells some good spring and you can find them for $100. So which one is better H&R or Dropzone.

H&R are good, German made, worldwide Known. Don't know anything about Dropzone so can't tell you on that.

I got mine H&R OE Sports from Tire Rack, 2 Day air delivery by Fed Ex. $156 springs plus $14.21 shipping= $170.21 total.

They say the average drop is .75", i think mines drop a one inch. Looks clean, nothing drastic. No pics yet.

H&R is some of the finest suspension components on the market!!!!!!! Who ever said Drop Zone is good obviously doesn't know much about suspension, they are JUNK!

You can't beat H&R's german over-engineering, quality, price, etc.

If it's not name brand & cheap then it's junk especially when it comes to suspension.

There are 3 brands of springs I recommend H&R, Eibach, or Neuspeed.

Your installing good struts so dont ruin it with crap springs!

Good choice. When you get it all installed, leave the struts on #1 for the first 500-750 miles. Springs "settle" during that time. Don't leave them on the stiffest setting for long periods of time.

1.5 is a lower drop than a 1.3 right? the reason im asking is because i juts got some Neuspeed sport springs but, I originally wanted to got with the Eiback pro kit but i didnt think it would give me the look i was looking for so i got the Neuspeeds.
