Springs!

Before I get blazed about using a search...I already did, without success on finding which springs would match the KYB AGX's nicely.
I read about Sprints and were going to get them, but my local shop said they were ****. They also added "you get what you pay for", recommending H&R's or Eibach's or even Apex.
What do you guys recommend?

Thanx for n e help again guys

The shop that sold me my first set of Springs Eibachs told me that sprints were sh!tty too, but I rode in Cumalots car and he has sprints the ride is just fine. So go save money and get some sprints and your car will look nicely dropped, or go and spend $200 plus and get what ever you want. Besides if Sprints are so SH@tty why are they always low in stock . Pay a little bit and get sprints!!!!!!!!

Get...

Go with the Eibach spring package. They look good and you are buying a name brand that stands behind their product. I have only heard good remarks from the Eibach products so I suggest you get them.

KYB recomends the Eibach springs be used with the AGX's.
H&R's ride awsome combined with the AGX's. That spring has a very good following on this board as well. They give a nice drop and maintain a stock like ride with amazing handling.

B&G springs, which I'm running are also excellent. They drop the car more then H&Rs and also maintain a very smooth ride and provide awsome handling as well.

It's a good idea to trim your bump stops with a drop around 1.5 inches or more. B&G users must cut 2/3 of the front and rear OEM bump stop or use the KYB dust covers which already have a trimmed bump stop. I found this out the hard way!

I've been researching springs too...my main concern is cosmetic although better handling will be nice. I want to eliminate some wheel gap but don't want to car too low. I'm worried that 1.5" is too much for me and would like to keep the drop at 1" because I don't want the car to really lose a lot of ground clearance and look lowered. I also like the stock SE ride and don't want anything harder so I'm thinking of Progress springs with KYB AGXs. Recommendations?

Would you say that H&R springs are a little softer then B&Gs?
