Springs and shocks combo

OK so I have searched for this but am still not sure of the answer.

I am looking for new suspension

KYB AGX .... period

Springs? There are so many to choose from! Right now I am on Intrax. They are a little too soft for my liking and handling is not so good. I am looking for a stock or slightly stiffer than stock ride with good handling.

Sprints are a little low (fear bottoming out my car over bumps)
Intrax (I have tried)
that leaves:

B+G
H&R
Maxspeed
Progress
Eibach Pro

as leading contenders. What are your opinions?

Thanks!

well ill say this stay away from maxspeed if your going for that "low look" sounds like you want a harder riding set of springs that arent too low. Eibach.

I have Eibachs and they are a little rough, the KYB AGX's are sitting in my trunk waiting to get installed (good place for them I know)


I am hoping that they are a good combo

why not go for Ground Controls? you can control how high (or low) you want your car and it's stiffer than stock springs...

So with Sprints...

They're not that much lower than Intrax and the ride is firmer from what I've heard, but still bouncy . Only problem is trying to get your hand on a set.

I'm looking too.

I'm planning on getting the AGX also but not sure on springs. I typically have 2/3people in the car. I want to lower maybe 1"-1.5" but not looking for a bouncy/too stiff ride. Any suggestions.

How low do maxspeed springs lower your car? 1 1/2" all around?

ive installed maxspeeds on a 4th and 5th gen. it isnt low compared to BGs or sprints. i dont know the exact numbers but it is about three finger gap in the front and two in the back. hope that helped.
