im deciding on spring choice right now. waiting for more money for coilovers. i know most would go stechs and that is where i leaning towards. however, i like the drop of the sprint springs. would it be ok to run them on stock shocks safely? the spring rates tell me ok but i would like to make sure. thanks.

bump.

Are you saying you don't have enough money, but yet go out and buy springs, only later to buy coilovers?

You don't make sense. You don't have money but are willing to waste it.

Do you know what the differance is between the two?

there is like a 1000 dollar difference between the springs and coilovers. and nobody said i had to keep the springs when i get my coilovers. im sure someone on this board or anywhere else would be willing to pay half the price of what i paid for the springs. and who knows, i might just go with konis later on. all i know is that im deciding on springs and i thought i could get help from the members on this forum. seriously, this is starting to get sad.

if you get coil overs you get shock.. you get it all....

you dont add konis after you get coil overs..

i would google coilovers.. it is a good start..

you will be able to run a while with sprint springs, but if you do plan on staying with them, then look to getting the koni's in a year or two depending how u and how much u drive.

maybe you should just learn to read. i said there is a 1000 dollar difference between springs and coilovers. then i said that i might just end up keeping the springs with new konis. i never said that i could add konis after i get coilovers anywhere in what i wrote earlier.

and why are you drinking a beer? you think you got me or something? making me look stupid? tisktisk.

edit: thank you ngorx8 for the reply to my question.

really,

ok.. the springs are going to cost you at least 150 bucks.

you can get coil overs for ~ 600 bucks... i dont know much, but that is 450...

the install is another story... i guess the bigger ? would be what are you going to do with it..

look cool? track days, auto x... drifting?

sorry garbage in garbage out..

gfl.

obviously if i say there is a 1000 difference its for the ones i want. if not i would have said 450.
and the question you asked would have been a better first reply to this thread then the one you did post.
gfl is right, you need it.

ahh....... but what about the price of install?

And the fact: Springs are useless unless you get rear shocks at the same time.

You may be able to get away with stock front shocks, but not the rears. The rears arw too weak. Do a search, you will find out.

type59

itll give me something to do over a weekend.

yay!!! people are getting more and more useful. thanks for the info. ill search it.

swoope

iTrader: (5)

ahh,,

the ones you want.. like we are supposed to know what that is...

so im the bad guy.. cool..

still you have been provided the info to ask, but you have not...

and you got the search for it...

still if you want an answer,, what do you want to do with it?????? autox, look cool (not that there is anything wrong with that) track days, street hpd, drift...

and since i dont baby sit... here is a hint.. if you walk into a bar that has 25 beers on tap.. and 50 in a bottle.. dont tell the bartender you what a beer.

i help those that help themselves.

yes you didnt know the ones i want were a 1000 off, but you were rude writing that i didnt know how to do my math, that is where you got the 450 from. you could have also asked the first time instead of being so rude. i am still a new poster to this board.

i did search for information about the sprint springs. i also pmed one of the guys who owns them. no reply, therefore i start a thread.

and if you really want to help the answer to your question is piece of mind. i know that the stock setup is not bad but sitting on stiffer springs so i get less body movement is what i am looking for. lowered look doesnt hurt either. which is where the sprint springs come in. just in case you dont want to search, sprint springs drop 2in while stechs drop 1.7in.

no more of this playing the bully stuff. if so im not going to reply to it next time. so if you want to help please do so, if not dont post on this thread please.

btw,, welcome to the internet. we are not your mom. if you think i was rude. you might start reading books for info... ask a good well focused ? you will get an answer= to the ?. if not you get what you get.
