i say maxspeed, because it gives similar amount of drop like the above springs you asked, it's also the cheapest out of all the springs. not too many people have problem with maxspeed. i know many people ran maxspeed on stock shocks (aka blown shocks) and are happy with them. basically a good spring to close in the wheel gap.

I say Progress. They give a nice, even drop, handle well, and won't break your back, even on crappy NJ roads.

H&R....they are declared the softest springs (other than SE springs) and they feel nice and comfortable for the bumpy rides.

dont ask others what u need or prefer, ur the only one who knows it.

if ur looking forward to actually dropping ur car, then the tokico springs are the best out of 4. if u just want it a little lower and maintain good ride quality, then id say go eibach for h&r. they both pretty much the same

And your current results are:

1 for Maxspeed
2 for Eibach
3 for H&R
1 for Tien H
1 for Progress
1 for Tokicos

Which is pretty much people just throwing out random answers like I said. No spring is "the best". It's just like picking Levi's... do you want the 501s, the 505s, the 550s, the 560s, silvertab, redtab? Nobody on these forums knows your preference (especially since you didn't give us any clue of what you want). How about you tell us exactly how harsh you want it to ride.... and how much of a drop you want.... and how much you value comfort compared to drop compared to handling... and then maybe we might be able to help you a lot better, and everyone on this forum can all say the same spring, instead of completely different ones.

You need to list your factors:
Wheel/tire size, driving conditions, what struts you are lookng to use, what transmission you have, largest wheels that you might realistically purchase...

I understand the decisions people have to make with springs. And for myself, I can't get passed making the decision, I like Eibachs and H & R's. To me I feel like if I got with Eichach's I wont like the harsh ride. But then again I want something that performs well. I found a comparison for the both on tirerack this morning. And from that chart Eibachs out-perform H & r's. I even made a chart and counted each time Eibach outperformed H&R and vice verca. Eichach beat H&R 6-3 on a series of road and performance tests. Eibach even beat H & R over Noise comfort and plain ol' comfort, but did not when on handling. So its a give and take. If you would like to consult the site yourself the website is http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/t...bach_hr_rd.htm

Good luck! Just my 2 cents!

ok ok... I want a better look than the OE But I want some tested springs... Harsh ride I could get over Its not like I had a Lexus or Caddy before. I want responsiveness on turns and something that wont sagg on me after afew months... i want performance with out a coilover kit. I dont want my car all over the road. Im feeling Eibach for Its testing and reputation. But I havent driven with them so Im asking for what you guys get out of your springs... Thanks guys
