Maxspeed Springs?

Does anyone here know if there is a web site for Maxspeed Springs? I can't seem to find one. I'd like to do some research on the company before buying the product for my 2001 I30. There is plenty of info around for Eibach,H&R,Tein,Progress, etc. I am concerned about the overall quality and life of their springs. The price seems right though. Does anyone know of there is a website. Also anyone sharing there experiences with the product would be great. I am also leaning towards H&R.
.
Thanks

Ebay has Maxspeed springs. I just installed Maxspeeds on GR2s and the ride is awsome. A little more bumpier, but I couldn't see paying $200+ for springs that ride just as good or worst from what I hear. The drop is great and so it the ride and handling. See my homepage, page 3.

I ordered them based on price....I also got the KYB GR2s too...they will be hopefully installed next weekend with my comments and pix posted.

I would have gone the H&R route also but for the price difference and everyone on here saying there wasn't much difference, thats why I went the Maxspeed route.

I also got them on ebay

.Thanks for the info. Is there a website listed on the original box they came in? Or a location of the company, anything? So far people say they like them, but I would still like some more information about the company.
Thanks

I never found a site for them either, but I got them to go with my AGX and everythings good thus far. I went based on recommendations and seeing the long term results on several guys rides. Groovy this far

my maxspeeds are sitting in a box at home (They got delivered yesterday), I got them off ebay for $94. I am not looking for an even drop, I wanted more in the front, I figure it may be a more aggressive stance, I will post any website/info tomorrow when I get home.

Hey releasedtruth, you have the exact set-up I want, I already have the Maxspeed on stock shock for a about a year now, I'm running 235-40-17, and it's a little harsh, how would you compare the KYB's / Maxspeed combo versus stock shock ?

Cheers

AA

You can't see them anyway, I would just leave them yellow.

I've had my Maxspeeds on stock struts for about 6 months now, and I like them. I will be putting them on aftermarket struts as soon as i figure out which ones I want.

The drop is modest, but noticable, especially when parked next to a stock-height Max. The ride is firmer, but close enough to stock that my wife doesn't notice at all! And she WOULD notice. LOL!

The only time my suspension has bottomed out was on an interstate trip at high speed, with about 480 combined pounds in the back seat, and about 450 combined pounds in the front. Even then, it took a pretty sharp blow to bottom out.

I don't think Maxspeed has a website, but I'll check my box when I get home to be sure. They seem to be really well made, and I have read absolutely no complaints on the .org about their quality. Some people, who are looking for a "slammed" look, might not like them, but I'm very pleased. They took a while to settle, but now, I love the look. Much more aggressive, but not too low.

You should go with the KYB GR2s.

I've also got the Maxspeed on stock struts set-up for about the same amount of time.

Now that the springs have settled, I've noticed that the back sits a little lower than front. It's begining to look like the stock set-up, just lower.

Are you noticing this also?
