okay, i've read on this site some conflicting views about springs... it's either Suspension Techniques or Eibach's - i forget which one... but one of these are supposedly made for the RS only... now is this really gonna make a difference if you put them on a GS? should i stay away from the one that's made for RS, and go w/ the other one, or will it not really matter, thanks....

I have STs on my GS and i have no problems whatsoever.

yeah same here..ST on my gs and my friend's gs on no problem what so ever

Anyone have a decent place to order ST springs from? im looking to convert my rs to ZX2 struts and ST springs thanks

how is the lowering on the ST springs?

I found the H&R's (at least at all the pics i've seen) to not evenly lower the car. The rear sits higher than the front and the wheelgap differences looks retarded.


i'm talkin about a GS btw....since it is more front-heavy than an RS...what springs lower the car evenly and provide a nice agressive looking stance?

I have the H&Rs in mine and they dont look retarded. Honestly its only noticeable when you have the stock tires on, When its summer I put my rims back and its 17 inch and they look perfect. The ride isnt bad too.

agreed, H&R`s are very nice.

I dont think the gap is identical front and rear with original springs either, as the fenders are not the same height (not sure, but I`m guessing it).

Also, imho the handling is more important than the difference in wheelgap... looks = ricer
(to the one complaining about H&R looking retarded)

nope-mx3

Having B&G springs and KYB struts installed tomorrow (it seems to be the combo of choice for Steve @ A-Spec). Hoping to have better handling over stock. I requested to have the suspension combo lower the car and he recommended no more than 1 to 1.3" drop before it starts to really sacrifice on ride and comfort. Anyone heard of or are familiar with this set-up and what was the feedback? Cheers.

damn you ppl...post PICS!!!!

i only got pics of one doods car w/H&R's and the wheelgap was like over a 1/2 inch more on the rear than the front, very noticeable.

I have 16's with slightly larger diameter tires than stock, but only about .9% larger. I plan on using the stock wheels w/4% larger tires (205/60R15 b/c they are WAY cheaper) this winter.

My GC's are nice, but too damn harsh for my tastes anymore :-/

BTW: when u get those B+G's on, lemme know how they are. I love B+G springs...i think they are the nicest riding springs I've ever ridden on (two seperate vehicles).

Get pics too

there you go gro..
gs with ST springs and zx2 struts

sorry for the dark pic..when the picture was taken the spring had only 2 months.

and the other one is my frien with a gs 2 years old ST springs and kyb's

somewhere in here there is an entire thread full of pics of people with h&r springs cause someone asked about it.. the drops all looked really nice. i had h&r's on my protege and it rode so nice... the drop was noticable but not huge.. but handled a lot better and rode great
