Default What brand springs is everyone using?

I've been thinking of lowering my car. I do have QTP longtubes, so I don't want anything too low, just enought to reduce some of the wheel gap, here's a pic of the car now...

Ive been looking at BMR's. That would only be a 1 inch drop and I think that would be good enough.

DMS (Dynamic Motor Sports) springs are the best IMO. Ive had H&r's, Granatelli's, Eibachs, and DMS and these are the best by far!

I have DMS and they ride great. I would say either DMS LG Motorsports or Hypercoils. I think that the Eibach's have had some sagging issues in the back though.

I'm gonna go ahead and ask in here.

I'm looking for some springs with a simliar drop to the Pro-kit, just not a Pro-kit. I have 17x11's and about to have LT's and TD's so I can go no lower than Pro-kit drop.

Pro-kit and stock springs suck, but pro-kit and aftermarket revalved shocks work well.

DMS all the way! I am VERY satisfied with mine. Ride quality has not been sacrifised at all (infact- it feels better than stock) and I still have stock shocks, stance is perfect, and you can even go a little lower if you take the retainers out. And one more very important factor- customer service is the best I've ever seen! Best price you'll find anywhere too Can't beat DMS period

i have sportlines and with stock shocks sucked with the bilsteins.. much better, i am going to swap out the rear springs for something a little stiffer, but the drop is probably more than you need,. but as far as eibach goes i've had no issues except with the rear being to soft for my tastes

Last time I suggested BMR, I almost got tarred and feathered, so I won't anymore...

Wait a sec, I kind of just did.

Seriously..........pass on the Eibachs, especially if you ever plan on adding a system to your car.



I have DMS springs and I am VERY happy with them. They rode great with the stock Decarbon shocks for about 10,000 miles but they ride even better with my Koni DA shocks.
