lowering springs

[One_too_many]

hey i am looking at purchasing a set of lowering for my sc and i was wondering what springs u guys would recomend.i want something that is fairly stiff and at a decent price
thx

[SkunkWorks]

I would say Eibach (progressive) and Suspension Techniques (linear) are the better of the springs out there I think.. about same price.. both can be found new for atmost $377 ( I just bought some)

I have not installed them yet but i have found many good posts on H&R Springs.This and some other talks with others have made H&R my choice.

before warned.. it's rare, very rare, but with H&R's your front end could end up sitting higher then the back...
First i thought it was that i rebuilt the front suspension, and not the rear.. then i installed the koni's and Eibachs.. my car now sit level...
but ALOT of people have had the correct `stance' with the H&R's and they do feel firmer thent he Eibachs (with the Eibachs, my CD player doesn't skip as much, but the car bottoms out more?? )

Also i was running Tokico Illumina 2's when i had the H&Rs

ic i no a few ppl who love there h&R but u make a good point about the front end.

I really liked the springs for on the side/handling side.. but the stance was totally backwards on my car :o I thinking a 1/3 of a coil trimed in the front (*MY* springs) and the koni's would make a awesome corner hugger.. since the H&R's did seem to need a stiffer/tighter rebound valved shock

also spacers/trimming will make it look right.. i just never got around to doing it.. and like i said.. it's VERY rare thing that has happened, i think there's like anotehr 2 or so on TCCoA that has had that problem.. and there's ALOT of H&R users out there...

i wish i had a GOOD pic of my car with H&R's on it...
OKay a crappish pic of H&R and Tokico's (http://www3.telus.net/The_Cat/crap/Picture%20010.jpg) and another (http://www3.telus.net/The_Cat/crap/Picture%20003.jpg)

Pic with Eibachs and Konis (http://www3.telus.net/The_Cat/crap/Picture%20025edited.JPG) taken with in 10-15kms of install

NOW i have to try and install the sway bars (saddly 1 3/8" front, 1 1/4" rear)
