Default Which Springs ?

Ive seen info on Eibach Pro Kit, Eibach Sportline, H&R Sport Springs, and Swift Lowering Springs.

Whats the difference between all these different manufacturers ? Ive seen that some are progressive and some are not, which is better ?

Anyone have any good or bad info to help me decide which springs to get ?

They will be going on this car with these tires and wheels.

I have the H&R Sport Springs on mine, I personally love the ride quality, they are stiffer then stock, but not rattle your bones stiffer. When I was buying I was told that the H&R Sport Springs are much more ride oriented then the Swift Springs. But somewhere on the boards it was mentioned that the H&R Sport Springs and one of the Eibach sets have the same spring rate, not sure if it is the Pro or Sportline.

But H&R has a CRZ package coming out or it might be out already that includes the springs and spacers.

But with one of those if I could do it over again moments, I think I would have went with the Spoon springs and Dampers.

I have had no issues with the Eibachs (Pro) on the OEM 17" wheels. Looking at your front, a little concerned with taking it down an inch. You have probably posted it somewhere else, but what is the wheel size you have and offsets?

Thanks.. My mods are pretty modest but hopefully well placed..

Back to "J"'s question.. Here are the Spring rates (differences) for most manufacturers.

Springs Springs Springs

whats your main goal with the springs? is it drop? performance? depending on what you want there are different options
