you should get better ride quality and better handling.

Call up strano and talk to him about it. Also, you should upgrade your shocks if you are still running stock ones.

Sportlines are one of the worst choice of springs for our cars. It's almost a guarantee that the Strano's will give you a better ride quality and better handling.

If yoo swich from sprotlinez to Starnoz springz joor ride will have a little more suspenshun travle. But yoo really need shokz to dampen the spirngs. Joor ride will probly beecum bowncier insted ov sitting on the bump stopz all the timez

there's nothing brutal at all with the Strano springs, i have them on my daily driver along with the Koni S/A shocks, and it's hard to imagine that the car could handle much better by just replacing shocks/springs. it's definitely no cadillac, but it's not supposed to be. it's definitely firm, but not harsh and "brutal" like your sportlines.

They will ride better. Remember though, shocks greatly affect quality too so you must have a combo that complements each other well.

you will tell a big difference in the Stranos rather than the sportlines, the stranos are awsome springs!

Right but the shocks are key to making the springs ride well

It will be a night and day difference in ride and handling, and some shocks wouldnt hurt either.

WTF?

I have Sportlines on the car now. They were on it when I bought it. THEY SUCK!

I can't wait to put the strano/koni's on it.

I don't think Koni makes springs just shocks/struts.

People use Strano, Hotchkis, Eibach and some other springs

should be like going from one extreme to the other. (sportlines being the extremely bad side). And definitely get some better shocks. stock shocks can barely handle stock springs.
