Alright, time to see which springs reign the org in the popularity contest! Bring on the votes!


EDIT>>Made one mistake in the poll above: Progressive should read Progress Technologies.

I know there aren't enough options for a poll, but don't forget Gold Line, Drop Zone, Vogtland. Quality stuff...

Yeah, I really wish we could have more poll options. Then I would've posted every spring/strut combination in one gigantic enormalarge poll to find out which strut/spring combo is most popular. But yes, those above would be worthy of spots 10-13.

I also wish I could've posted an option for stock to see how many have chosen not to touch their springs.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I expected when I posted this. Spring preference really depends on three variables:
1. Ride <-Everyone claims to be superior
2. Drop in inches <-Tein S-tech and JIC's reign
3. Is the drop even? <-Progress and JIC's are the most even I've seen (without cutting coils)

Everyone prioritizes the above 3 differently. My priority is ride. However, gauging which spring offers the best ride is pretty difficult considering most haven't ridden in competition running the same strut for comparision.

If anyone has input on my opinions above I'd love to hear them - I'm nearing a purchase decision!
