I have 17' rims, and i plan on getting a stillen kit. What would be the best quality springs, that will make my car look like it is actually dropped? Im thinking sprint or progress... any input on those or another brand?
thanks jeff

 

i like progress.

Progress with any good set of adjustables should do you justice

 

cool, is there any saggin in the progress set up?

 

Look into Intrax

I love my Sprint/KYB AGX setup. A lot of the other springs make the car look like it should have from the factory, these make it look lowered.

 

go with H&R or you will hate your car

Go with H&Rs, the softest springs available on the maxima.

I hear teins H-tech springs are suppose to be really good

 

progress is good, the drop is even..........

 

progress and AGX a real good ride, but front end sits lower

 

I like my Sprint and AGX combo.

either progress or sprints should be fine.i would personally go with progress since your getting a kit.. sprints will make u scrape a lil more. but drive carefully and wither set will do u fine..

just make sure u get adjustable shocks..

 

I've got Progress springs with a kit, and I am very satisfied. They ride nice, handle well, and seem to be just about the right height with the kit. It does look lowered, but it doesn't look slammed. I paired them with Tokico Illuminas and I couldn't be happier!

 

how do you guys feel about coilovers?

 

Just remember that with sprint and other 2" drop springs you'll need a camber kit.

 

what happens if you dont have camaber kit?

 

i hear youll eat tires (wear uneven), my friend has a camber on his accord and it still eats them, every 3 months. Do you eat them with your sprints?

 

chamber is the measure of how "flat" the tires are to the ground, from side to side. when you lower the car alot, a negitive camber results, the inner sides of the tire will wear alot faster. not to mention the stress your putting on your tires runnen them slanted.

 

Amen to that. Subframe connectors also help a ton too.

I dont have camberbolts, nor do I have uneven wear. Your friend is most likely lowered more then 2". Most Honda spring kits "slam" the car. Is your friend on Coilovers? Their even worse. I would suggest to you to get an alignment though if you dont, you will have uneven wear for sure.
