to be honest it's been years since I've looked into springs so I'm not even sure what's out there these days.

Although, keep in mind that if you simply get a shorter / stiffer spring that you'll have a much harder ride AND those springs will wear out your OEM shocks much faster as they're not designed that sort of spring rate.

I was looking at a For Sale by houstonRXer and came across this, seems like it's a set of blistein struts with tein coilover inserts. I tried looking at his build thread to figure out how he did it, but it's too long to browse. Might be best to ask him directly about the whole assembly is if you're interested.
the coilovers are real but I will sell them to you just to spite him.....these are teh SARX addition

we play with reality dear sir!

@ R2D2: +1 w/Jedi.

I'm on HKS coilovers.

I too haven't been on springs in a while but it's really up to you as far as what you're going for. Grace^ put up a good example...another good build is coldflame's suspension. Check em' out.

I get that all the time P. Used to think they gave me the damn what a weirdo, but I've decided that it's really the shame and embarrassment that I thought give the rotary love wave first.

2130: I was on my way to a car meet and this VR passed me while on the 405 to the 118. He sped and I chased then we both passed a stock TiGrey GT with an appearance package and 6k HIDs. He exited on Hayvenhurst, I went to Balboa.

Stock looking Brilliant Black spotted @ the 24hr Fitness in Buena Park at the mall. I've seen your car twice parked outside between 6-8pm. I'm always there monday-friday but in my daily (Corolla).

Anybody here?

Dear Guy in Later Gen WB Going North Bound 605 This Morning (Thr 4/25),

I'm the weird Asian chick in earlier gen BB who waved and drove behind you for at least 5 miles, admiring your butt. I wasn't hitting on you. I just liked your beautiful car. You could have at least waved back or give a look of acknowledgement.


Sincerely,

1dergirl

In the beginning of this month I was at the Brea Mall, I got really nice parking got in and out quick as I was walking to my spot I turned around to what appeared to be a early series blue 8, a guy with his chick in the car. I hope u enjoyed my parking spot. Didn't say what's up cuz I didn't want u to think I was showin off in front of ur chick lol. I also seen a couple of 8s parking in the Quad town center where I work in whittier. If u see a red 8 wit black rims and a CF wing that's me, say what's up!

^lol

There's no excuse as to why there was no 'wave back'. If a chick driving the car can't get a wave back then there isn't a snowball's chance in a microwave i'm gonna wave back
