Spring Suggestions

Right now I have Ground Controls...and while I like the look, the ride is starting to get too stiff for me. Maybe I'm getting old. I've decided to go back to aftermarket springs, because I've found them to be softer.

However, I'm out of the spring "loop". I had Sprints on my 97, and they are stiffer than I'd like now. I had Eibachs when I first got my 99, and I _really_ liked both the ride and look. A lot of people say that they're too stiff, but I loved the ride.

Outside of that I'm not sure what people would recommend. I'm tempted to try H&R's, but fear that they would be too soft.

Ideas? Right now I'm on the fence between H&R's and Eibachs..but would love help going one way or the other, or a totally different direction.

These will be paired with AGX's BTW.

Thanks!

Eibachs are good, progress are better. Your shocks play the most important role "damping" look for adjustable shocks. You can't have your cake and it too.

If you're afraid that H&Rs are too soft then go with Maxspeeds. They're a little stiffer, so I'm heard.

I'm 99% sure I'm going to go with H&R's. I don't really road race or auto-x, so I primarly need a descent ride.

If I don't like 'em, I'll get Eibachs and sell the H&R's.
