Talking Hyperco springs rock!!!!

Just wanted to give mad props to Hyperco springs. I just installed them two weekends ago and love them. I didn't like the Pro kits on my last 99 Z but what a difference these made. Not to mention a lower average 60 ft which most people would argue is impossible. www.hypercoils.com

I was looking at these springs too because it looks like from their website that you can just pick almost any spring rate you want. My question is which model number did you get/order and how did you know that would work right. Or do they have a specific spring that they give out for F-bodies. Because i would like to do this but i have a fear that if i choose too high of a spring rate that the front may be higher than the back and everythig will get all screwed up. Just let me know how either of you two went about geting the hypercoils if you could.

I got mine from LG Motorsports when they carried them. I'd just call hyperco and ask for the springs for your car. I'm sure they'll help ya...

I have these springs as well and they really helped out the handling of the car. These along with kyb shocks and lg suspension have virtually no body roll. I got mine from lg when they were running a special at $179 they dropped me roughly 1.75 all around.

I have noticed with the KYB shocks that the drop is over 1", but with the SLP bilsteins the drop is 1" with the hyperco's....I've seen several cars with the hyperco's and SLP's and the drop was only 1"...looked real good.

They say 1.25" drop. I got mine direct from hypercoils and got them for 228 plus shipping with the rear spring isolators. Very, very happy with them. Still debating on a lle front sway bar. I drag race and am concerned about that hurting my 60fts. The springs actually helped. I would imagine they would hurt on a fast car ie 10's or quicker.
