No Sprints for me!!!!
 
So i order a set of sprint springs from HPfreaks last week since they suposedly had em in stock just to find out today they dont have em and cant get them :cussing: so now im left with either waiting about month for coilovers or geting the megan racing springs which will give me the biggest drop now...this shit sucks i really wanted those sprint springs to go with the RPF1's i just bought...do yall think the megans can pull it off???

Chris 09-08-2010 01:49 PM

just save for the coilovers, I keep debating what I should do myself, and I came to the conclusion that coilovers will give me EXACTLY what I am looking for so thats what I am going to do.

Are you just looking to go low? or do you actually want performance? H&R's drop the car pretty low.

ManyRX 09-08-2010 02:08 PM

I know but since im not really going to be tracking the car i was leaning more towards the springs i just dont know if the megans will give me a decent enough drop to go with the RPF1's since i also went down to 35 on tires. I just did a search and found a pic of a member who is running the megan springs and rpf1's and it looks prety good he is on koni yellows tho...

9krpmrx8 09-08-2010 02:12 PM

Koni yellows are the reason for that. I don't have any personal experience with Megan Racing stuff but at the same time I don't think I would take the chance on cheapy springs. Paying more does not always equal a better product but any time finding techs specs or the manufacturing process is a problem I would stay away. That said, I doubt Megan actually makes their springs anyway.

Are you lowered on H&R's??? I was just looking to go as low as i could with just springs i know i have to replace the shocks eventually too, i just dont want to have my 8 looking like a monster truck with RPF1's lol but you are right the koni yellows probably have a lot to do with his ride height, i have never owned any megan racing parts and there is a lot of mixed opinions when it comes to them, a lot of people like their coilovers which they probably dont make themselves either but as far as i know megan is not that bad of a brand...here is my 8 as it sits now
