okay, i nailed it down to these 2 type of spring(maxspeed n H&R), they both give somewat of an identical drop n soft ride. but price wise, maxspeed is less expensive(maxspeed is $120 n H&R is $214).

based on price, i'm thinkin to go w/maxspeed...but is there another factor that i don't know of? such as quality wise or longevity of the springs?

is H&R springs worth the price???
any help would be appreciated!

btw...i'm pairin up the springs w/tokico blues.

I just put my H&R's on yesterday and they are very impressive. They don't give a slammed look but who needs slammed when the performance of these springs are through the roof.

 

Maxspeed springs ride harsher then H&R's and the drop isn't consistant. Bottom line, there a cheap spring. (YGWYP4)

 

Just keep in mind that big name company springs.... H&R, Eibach are more expensive because a lot of time has been put into testing many combinations of spring rate, progressiveness, and height to create a better handling spring. These companies employ professional drivers to test combinations of springs to create one that handles well, along with one that is free of bad handling characteristics like snap oversteer. Which is a lot more than smaller spring manufacturers will do, with their limited testing budget.

 

I have had Maxspeed springs for about 6 months now and have no complaints. The drop is perfect in my opinion but I will admit the ride is rough. I wish I had some new pics of my car so you could see the drop for yourself but I don't. Anyway, I would buy them again in a heartbeat.

 

you get wat you pay

 

You should try and look into B+G sport springs, they drop more than H&Rs and ride pretty good, stiff but very controlled (even on stock struts)

so, 4 to 1 in favor of H&R.

the last thing i want to hear livin in Boston, MA.. is hearing that the spring rides harsh...i've driven in offroad that r smoother than these city streets .

thanks for the inputs guys

 

if you are in boston, i would feel sorry for you if you had anything but H&R's... crossing the train tracks on comm ave or beacon street is brutal, even on stock suspension

 

I agree. I got H&Rs on my Max. Definitly not a slammed look, but a tastful drop. Enuff to kiss the '4x4' look away. Let the springs set for about a week of normal driving and you'll love the way you can handle a turn at 110mph! I paired mine w/ AGXs on a extra stiff setting.

 

unforturntely, i drives on roads like that everyday.

that is exactly wat i want....i just want to get rid of the 4x4 look while maintainin enough ground clearance for normal daily drivin...better handlin w/these springs is just a added bonus

so any place sells these H&R springs cheaper than adventon.com???

 

But for front use Tokico's HP series - front KYB AGX are bit on the stiff side. With H&R you will get great sport ride .
plus the drop is just right.

PS: - njmaxseltd -thanks for inventing the "frankenstined" set up
I absolutelly love it now !!!!
it's that good that you should put copyright on it!

 

wow...thats really nice.

 

yeah, i agree, looks very good

 

what about progress? are they not good springs?

 

Wow, does anyone run on Maxspeed springs these daya? So the H&R springs ride a lot smoother but do they allow the car to corner as well as the stiffer Maxspeed? I may have to look into upgrading.

 

I'm still running on Maxspeed, haven't had any problems yet. I seem to like the way the car drives with these springs. Nice even drop too

 

hey Max96LSU...would u consider the ride harsh w/the maxspeed spring?

thanks

 

i got maxspeed. intial drop was dissapointing.. but as for ride quality.. it was just slightly stiffer than stock se suspension..after a cut and settle, the drop is almost perfect..rear is a lil higher. i believe this is a good quality spring for the price. of course there are better, but if you dont plan on doing major racing or autoxing.. these will serve you fine for street/agressing everyday driving use.

 

I wouldn't say the ride is harsher, but it is stiffer than my stock SE suspension....i like it a little stiff but not too stiff to where I bounce off the road

 

thanks for the input.
