Got my hyperco's and bilstein shocks installed today!! I LOVE these springs!! I just need my fornt end alignment done now and I'll be set!! With my subframes, lca's and reinforced panhard this car is really really fun to drive now :) $131 for installation and you can't beat that :usa:

I had the level 1 slp & changed to the pro-kit. It sucked!!!! The rear was really bouncy and rode really bad. I put the Hypercoils on and I love it!! Congrats on a good setup, all lowering springs should have the stiffer spring rates to account for the lost suspension travel.

I agree 100%...I think with the hyperco's the whole car sits level and it seems to me that the prokits seem to sag in the rear, but maybe that's just me....the rear with the eibach's seem to sit lower than the front but the hyperco's are nice and level all around...I love the hyperco's and wouldn't have it any other way!! Congrats on your hyperco's...they are great springs indeed!!

How much of a drop is there with the Hyperco springs?

Where did you get the Hypercoils from? I've never heard of them and I just ordered the Prokit and now I'm second guessing myself, Dammit!

Y2KSLPSS Dec 17, 2003 06:31 AM

I got my Hypercoils directly from Hyperco..... They drop the car very close to the pro-kit, mabye just a little higher in the rear(1/4"). The springs were almost bought out by LG Motorsports, Hyperco had a couple sets left when I got mine. I would definately get a stiffer spring rate than the pro-kit, especially in the rear, don't even put them on!! The SLP Bilsteins work great also.

www.hypercoils.com I paid $214 plus $14 in shipping 2 months ago. They come with a urethane rear spring isolator (goes on axle).
