basically with the spring rates being linear, and so high, its gonna be like coilovers....

wasnt really impressed with em in zachs car on stock struts. reminded me of arospeed days....

get what ya pay for... but all depends on whether you two worry more for performance or looks....


theres not many people up for performance much anymore.

if i dont go with those il get the canuck springs (since they still are an improvement over stock and are higher than the megan springs ,also they are not linear and i can get away using stock struts for 2 months or so)

im a bit worried about performance but with gas price these days looks come first in my book now!

Sorry but no. But it looks just like the Blue car if thats any help. To describe it for you
I have about 1 fingers worth of gap in the front. And maybe 1 1/2 in the rear. I'll try to post some pics if the wife will let me use her camera.

And I've never heard of Canuck racing springs got a link handy?




Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.

I gurantee that the Megan springs are going to be 10X stiffer than the Eibach springs. Plus riding on stock struts it's going to be stiff and bouncy as hell. If you don't want to spend $400 on springs, then you are not going to be spending the $500 on the struts that you are going to need with the springs. Suspension costs!

400$ for springs...

for 400$ you can buy coilovers....and a decent set.




eibachs are way softer than megan racing springs as megan springs are the same spring rates AS coilovers.

and planning to run megan springs on stock struts, or any spring besides the suspension techniques 1.2 inche springs... is pretty much gonna give a rough ride anyway...

tien h-techs are 1.0/1.0 art, so those would sort of work on stock struts too

Anways, 400 for eibachs? Don't buy them at the local speed shop... You should be paying close to 200 for the pro-kits. You will want some AGX's with those (or tiens) and the agx's go for about 375 shipped off ebay. Your not going to do it much cheaper than that without sacrifing some handling or safety.

oh yeah im talking canadian money (Québec to top it off so its like the more expensive place to buy anything) and i am NOT using them on stock struts (plus i dont want the megan nymore)

There's nothing wrong with a stiff ride

Although I like mine stiff cuz I like it for AutoX but thats just me...
