Since Snap has been picking my brain about suspension; I thought id write up a spring note for everyone.
Keep in mind that having strut bars, upgraded sway bars, and good struts play a role in a good suspension. Me having a ton of upgraded suspension parts doe not mean it is perfect but i love my setup so far. Please feel free to add you input whehter positive or negative: Sprint: Blue springs, drop of 1.5" front and rear. Price is around $150 new. My experience with them is very good. Tein S Tech: Green springs, drop of 1.5" front, 1" rear Price is $120-$150 My experience from Chanh's car was a bit bumpy but could have been due to the tires. TRD & Eibach Pro-Kit: Black springs, drop of 1.5", 1: front Price: 150+ Minimun drop with stock feel.[/color] DropZone: Red springs, drop of 1.25" all around i think Price: under $150 Seems like stock but a tad bumpy Intrax: Purple springs, drop of 1.8" all around Price: $125-180 No experience Tanabe: 2 different kind of springs drop of 1.25 and 1 for the GF210 drop of 1.5 and 1.25 for the TF210? Price: 150 and up No experience Eibach Sportlines: If theres any brands fill them in for me please. This post has been edited by LewFX: Sep 27, 2006 - 12:16 PM -------------------- ![]() |

the rear is slightly lower than the front on stock suspension. that's why teins drop 1.4" in the front but only .9" in the rear. it kinda evens it out.
