What Springs Now ??
Well started out with Sprints...Thaught it was too low for the Axle Angle so went up to Eibachs...I am on Eibachs with my stock 15's and didnt mind the wheel gap, more up front cause of 5spd I guess. Well today I put on my 18's and the car sits good but I would like it alittle lower (still the front sits higher than the rear...
I know every type of spring and there drop's but I would like some feedback..
I am puttin on my SuperCharger in about a month so I need a stiff enough spring to handle the power...I was thinking B&G's next ?? I dont want to low becaue I am going to be putting down a decent amount of power and I know IAN had problems with axles and all that power with sprints...
I have New Coilovers in my room but for that money im gonna sell them to fund my s/c project...
Ride does not bother me AT ALL...

Honestly, I'd keep the Eibachs. I've got them and I'm planning to kill off a little more wheel gap by going up a size in tire from 225/40/18 to 225/45/18. I think they look just fine on 18s. And you'll be hard pressed to find something stiffer than Eibachs that doesn't drop to the floor like Tien S Tech or Sprints.
Also empty out your trunk and your car should sit pretty level.

I know you know alot about suspension
...How are B&G's ?? The reason I want a stiff spring is for my S/C, and I dont wanna go to low because I dont wanna fry my Axles like IANSW did when he had Sprints/Supercharger....Ian is now running B&G's...Coilovers I own but I am selling them...
alittle help

I have B&Gs to go with my 19s. I have an auto transmission and a HUGE ported box and sub. The weight of the box and sub together is probably over 100 pounds. The drop is nice but it is lower in the back. I can fit two fingers up front and maybe a half a finger in the back (I have have to angle my finger).

I could put the Coilovers on but then that will temp me to slam the car...and its kewl but putting all that power down may not be a good idea
keep on giving me some pointers...this is good

cut 1 coil all around and make it sit a bit lower.
