Maxspeed Lowering Springs

I'm about the put in Maxspeed and KYB GR2's in my max. Does any one have this set up at all? I heard that this spring was stiffer than H&R's. Is it still a comfortable ride?

It's definitely stiffer than stock and you'll notice the difference.

But you'll get used to them and love the handling.

Just be careful goin over big bumps and potholes.

Maxspeed is a horrible spring to use. Try getting Tein S-Tech. The ride is very smooth, not bouncy like the Maxspeed...

they're not bouncy.. I had my Eibachs cut a little against my better judgement so that the drop was approximately the same as progress and they remained stiffer than progress and I utilized AGX and the setup was great in my opinion.

Now I have the maxspeeds done the same way and love them as well but they're a little softer than the Eibachs (plus, sold the Eibachs for profit)..

Oh and one more thing........... S-Techs= Teh Suck. Feel like riding on bumpstops?.. Go Tein. H Techs are fine though.
