People need to stop bashing others on here before researching...Do you realize the search feature is not working?

The search feature is working. But it only works for donating members. You gotta pay to play, just like in everything else in life....But if you look at the STICKY thread at the top (nobody seems to do that...) there is a sticky on how to do a "ghetto search" using Yahoo or Google of topics on the org.

thanks stevay, for actually answering the question and making it easier rather than talking about donating and search being down.

End the b!tching people. At least he's not asking about projectors. Look at my sig, I'm on Maxspeeds.

Edit: Here's a nice and large version of the pic: http://img173.exs.cx/img173/958/douglaston48zj.jpg

i heard those are stiff and uncomfortable. they are too low and causes you to lose performance or something like that, i read it on the org. but thanks. i was thinking maxspeed and g2r's or illumina's.

i don't know about that...lower to the ground means a lower center of gravity...you don't see raised up nascars?
The ride on the Tein's really isn't that bad i like it alot...
your gonna have the stock 17's on there so it will ride alot better then my 19's.
But i was just showing you the difference...i first had maxspeeds but i got ride of them becuase i really couldn't feel the difference between stock and those
But its your choice

I've got Maxspeeds and Tokico blues. Check out my homepage for pics.The ride is pretty close to stock with about 1.5" drop. I like this setup, it's a very comfy ride and not bouncy or stiff.

whatever dude...I answered your question with my first post, and gave you a link to the "authoritative" spring height site (as well as saying to look at my site, since I have maxspeeds), so don't even act like you're somehow being "oppressed" here....we were just letting you know why you can't search...lighten the f*ck up

What would make us happy is if when newbies such as yourself post threads like this, and have their questions answered, they wouldn't b'itch like a little girl when people suggest doing some research on their own. If you were thinking about all these different brands of springs, you should know what cars look like on Maxspeeds

actually, I'm not pissed at all.... I'm just speaking honestly.

As to you getting maxspeeds - hey, it's your car....it neither makes me happy nor unhappy. I was just showing you what they (and other springs) look like...what you choose is up to your driving style and the look you're going for

And since you just had to go and use Boston lingo......
The only things that get me "wicked pissed" are the Yankees (spend too much money), and Red Sox fans (whine and cry year after year when they don't win it; and now that they have, they all talk trash like they're the greatest thing ever... the Red Sox. (though I do love the city of Boston itself)

my Orioles still have more World Series titles than the Sox do during our lifetimes

that's a nice post, i really like how it has a sporty stance, if it were too low i think it's gonna just look heavy and funny. maxspeed is my first pick, h-tech or progress is my second.

yeah, stevay looks like he's on teins as dumped as it is. could be the angle of the pic though.

mines looks lower than most of the maxspeed cars i've seen. but not nearly as low as his.
