    Springs??

    What springs do you guys suggest for me? How bad is the ride quality with a specific rate instead of progressive.There like 100 bucks cheaper??? I am looking for a 1 1/2 to 2" drop.

    I'd go with the specific rate springs. Then again I have 750 lb. coilovers and think the car rides nice! The shock you run is much more important in regards to the ride quality than the spring rate at that level anyway. Most aftermarket springs are only 650ish (like 150 lb/in wheel rate).

    I got Eibach Sportlines. Handles great, less body roll, side to side and front to back. Probably be needin some new shocks and struts very soon thou. The stock springs rode pretty rough that I noticed, not that much of different ride other than the aftermarket ones were a little stiffer.

    Can't go wrong with H&R sport or ss springs.

    Second choice would be eibach pro kit or sportlines

    I think my shocks are still good since my car only has 40,000 miles on it.

    That looks soo much better.You should paint your calipers red.I think that would look great on your car.

    Was thinking about painting them but I didn't know what color to go with. Trying to picture red against the blue though.

    I also swapped out the stock iso's for poly's forgot to mention that.

    I wouldn't paint red on a blue car. Go for black or silver. Don't do blue either makes it look riced out
