I have the money to get any springs that i want, but there are so many kinds out there. EIBACH, SPRINT, H&R, INTRAX, PROGRESS, MAXSPEED! I know what the particular drop is on each different spring. SO my question is, if any of you guys have one of these springs please let me know how the ride is and how the drop looks. Thanx for the input.

 

Most of your suspension questions should be answered in the thread I linked to.

 

you forgot B&G...

 

Think long and hard before getting B&G springs. The ride and drop is great but there are some quality issues with the product. Just my own personal experience.

 

get sprints...

 

Don't forget Struts - KYB AGX

Also, I have B&G's and I like them. A little rough on bad roads but much better than stock for autocross.

 

I DECIDED I WANT TO GO WITH EIBACHS! HOPE HANDLING IS SICK

 

here's the rundown....

Tokico shocks and struts are similar to OEM shocks as far as firmness,
but
they will support more of a drop (supposedly, but I don't trust the
rears at
all) thank OEM shocks and struts. Actually, I believe Tokico is the
manufacturer of the A32 shocks/struts for Nissan, but obviously OEM's
aren't
Blues.

KYB GR2 shocks and struts are also similar to OEM firmness.

Koni adjustable shocks are varying in levels of firmess, and are
adjustable.
They are good for people who want to vary their ride firmness for many
applications, such as track and auto-cross. Downside is they are pretty
darn
expensive.

KYB AGX are the adjustable KYB suspension; these are more affordable
than
Koni, and a great bargain. Most.org members have them.

Eibach springs: progressively rated without a low drop, the springs
give a
stiff, responsive ride, but are fairly expensive.

H&R springs: progressively rated, these give a slightly lower drop,
with a
softer feel. Still very responsive, but not that great with a harder
shock/strut.

B&G springs: progressively rated, very strong, lower drop. These
springs are
quite aggressive and lower than the Eibachs. THey are quite thick, red,
and
give a very performance-oriented ride. People say that 5spd's have a
slight
dip in the rear with these springs.

Progress, Maxspeed: I'm not sure on the particulars on these. I
installed
Progress for someone once, and they looked progressively rated, but I
couldn't really tell the spring rate. I think the ride is similar to
H&R, if
I'm not mistaken.

Sprint, Intrax: non-progressive, kind of like cutting your coils. Not
recommended for a comfortable ride or good performance by most people
on
this board. THey have a much lower drop than the other springs.

Coilovers: Ground Control and JIC make coilover applications for
maximas,
but these are pricey alternatives. JIC makes the best so far.

 

sorry sprint are progressive in both front and back..

 

and they perform well....don't know where he got that from

What is the diff between "progressive" and "NonProgressive" Springs? Sorry for the question, but I really don't know much about this stuff.

 

progressive springs as i understand it have tighter coils on top.. that gives the engine better support from rebounding... giving a more comfortable ride...

non-progressive springs are even all around.. so the ride is not as comfortable..

i am sure someone will be quick to correct me if i am wrong..

 

...........progressive springs will vary in resistance ( or spring rate) when compressed. The more they compress, the more resistance they will give.

Non-progressive springs have the same spring rate thoughout.
