Default Which springs?

Which lowing springs will look the best and give good handling (possibly a good ride 2) out of these brands? And can I see pic's of cars with these?

- Mac springs
- BMR springs
- DMS springs

I'd say BMR, because they are well-reputed for having top notch suspension components..

I just thought I'd throw out that we have our Hypercoil springs on sale for $169 for the set of four. They'll lower the car ~1.25" all the way around, and they'll also be slightly softer compared to our G2 springs. It's a great spring if you're wanting a nice, lowered look without sacrificing too much ground clearance or drivability with respect to firmness. For the price, you can't go wrong!

They seem to have everything I'm lookin for... but are they just as good, or better then the one's I listed <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> ? Do they perform just as good as the G2's... but a bit softer like you said? If so, I'll probably be buyin a pair <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> .

Also, what would they costed shipped to 60439? Thanks.

MadIceV8 - I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. You would be looking at $29 in shipping on the springs to you. Yes, they are slightly softer than the G2 springs. The G2 springs won't be available for another 6-8 weeks. The Hypercoils are a GREAT all-around spring that won't compromise too much ride height IMO.

Just call and ask for me, and I will get you setup with a set!

thanks
