alright i have the eibach pro kit, have tried lifting em up but yea, these springs are just awful. now i got a new rearend and a different offset wheel. and of course my tires are getting cut up.

SO.

new springs.

what should i buy? i want the Strano's but i dont wanna wait 2 months to get them, ( maybe ) so what should i buy? how are the BMR's?

i dont want more than 1.25" drop cuz my city sucks for bottoming out. 1" would be ideal.


are the Strano's really worth the wait, ( my city has terrible roads very rough, )

im leaning towards the BMR progressive springs, being they are only a 1" drop and i like the progressive idea for my horrible roads.

the Bmr Spring rate is 310-550 for the front and 145-170 for the rear.
Stranos are 550/150

I chose the Strano's but I'm biased since I already ordered them His next shipment should be in tomorrow or Friday I believe, but I don't know if they are all sold out yet.

I don't see shocks in your sig, so I vote for shocks.

If you are using stock shocks or similar, going to Strano's springs won't help. What kind of shocks are you using?

I liked my BMR/Bilstien combo, much better than my friend's eibach/tokico setup. The BMRs were great about not bottoming out

Wait for the tried and trusted combo. Love my strano/koni

First get shocks (Koni or revalve bilstiens), then if you still dont like your springs get Strano's springs. I vote for them because the thing that impressed me the most was sam says they are around 35lbs lighter than other springs, and thats A LOT of unsprung weight you save.

sorry i should have mentioned, i am running a bilstein hd shock. have been since last year. and its getting worse every time i take my car out it seems.

They're 35% lighter, not 35lbs lighter. Equals out to somewhere around 10-15lbs...which is still pretty cool though!

APeteSS

I had HDs and BMRs, loved it and didn't get the bouncing or bottoming that my friends car got with eibachs. Also never heard a bad word about Strano's setups

G2's are the Hypercos. The GMS springs look interesting to me.

shocker45

I'm pretty sure your problem is with your shocks.

I have never run a shock mismatched for a set of springs, because I avoided to try that route altogether. But that's exactly what Sam Strano says you will experience when you put the wrong shocks with a certain set of springs. Hd's are a "decent" shock for stock replacements with stock springs, but I've heard aren't up to par to take care of aftermarket springs.

I'm guessing you will experience the same problem with Strano springs if you kept the HD's. What you need is revalved bilsteins or Koni's. Not the answer you want to hear, but they seem to be the cheapest route to solving your problem

What do you hate about the prokit so much? It is about the amount of drop and pretty close spring rate.
