which lowering springs have the the ride closest to stock in terms of softness?? i dont care which is the lowest but the softest yet lower than stock.

 

Closest ride comfort as stock= Either H&R Sports or Maxspeeds.

 

Maxspeed springs ride no where close to stock. There cheap springs, the ride cheap and they even rust quickly.

H&R is the closest to stock, they ride great and handle awsome. There also a little expensive, but you get what you pay for.

 

H&Rs definetly, im sorry to say, but germans know wutup.

 

 

what about eibach springs? i've heard good things

 

Eibachs are excellent springs. Slightly on the firm side.

 

So everyone agrees to get H & R over Maxspeeds? I'm about to get the dealership to change out struts. They want a $50 deductible with my warranty to change out struts. I'm thinking of having them swap them out then swapping springs right after. Are new factory struts sufficient for new springs or should I apply the $50 to new struts?

 

Factory struts are valved specifically to match the OEM spring. Your better off with an aftermarket performance strut with your aftermarket sport springs. The H&R/Tokico combination rides excellent. The H&R/KYB-GR2 combo also rides good, a bit firmer then the Tokico setup.

 

Take njmax's advice, he's definetly helped me out which drop best suited me.

 

I have the H&R and KYBGR2 combo and agree with "njmaxseltd" regarding the ride. Take a look at my webpage if you want to see pics:

Thanks for the advice just trying to get the best set up for these new orleans potholes.

 

I have Maxspeeds and they are smooth as hell...
They aren't rusting either...
and i live in PA where they us salt all the time

 

although it is 'ok' for you to use stock shocks with H&R springs(especially if you're getting a new set of shocks for only $50), it is much better for you to get either Tokico blues or KYB GR-2 shocks. either shocks combined with H&R springs will give you a very smooth and sporty ride.
