hey there!

im about to order springs, and im wondering wich ones to get,

what i want in order - looks
- handling
- confort

so with this info wich set of springs should i get, - Eibach - progress - H&R - TEIN ?

Im also wondering with a drop on a 04 max, do we need a new camber kit?

or my local shop can align the wheels properly with the stock ones,


I have searched the forums but i havent found my answer yet :P

 

Cant find your answer in the search as you said? Tons of info, but for what its worth:
Progress FTW, no camber, yes your alignment can be done

 

hey vigilantemax thanks for you're reply, i do see that you're running progress springs with 19's would you have a pics of you're car where we can see the "profile" of it ?

cuz ill be running 19's too

thanks

 

I like my setup..

KybGr2's w/ h&r Springs...

Not a HUGE drop... but i dont rub or anything ... ive got 20's..

Very responsive feel aswell...

 

In my opinion, the best combination of looks and comfort and handling are Eibachs.

The best comfort are definetly H&R's. But with H&R's you get less drop.

The best overall value are Progress springs. They are a little stiffer than Eibachs in my opinion tho.

The Eibachs have a "progressive nature" to them meaning they start of comfy and stffen up as you drive harder. They are the thickest of all the springs as well.

I'd buy Eibachs all the way. Then compliment them with GR2's.

 

 

Progress and GR2 here. Love the setup.

 

thanks guys!
ok i think ill be going with eibach, how ever i heard a squeaky sound comming from the right front strut... after reading i realized that i may need some gr2 as well...
so i guess eibachs and GR2 will a good setup for me. just trying to found out the best deal available.

 

Eibach Prokit 1 with KYB GR2

 

nice ! would there another brand with a lower rear drop ?

 

I have been riding on Progress springs for 1 year now and the handling is terrific. However once i replaced my springs, i did notice the loss of ride quality. Roads were rougher and louder.

1 yr later after my install of Progress springs I installed GR-2's.... With the GR-2 shocks and struts there is a noticeable change in ride quality. The road is not as rough or loud...

Keep in mind, you can go with any lowering spring but you will need to replace your struts and shocks to enjoy the ride quality after lowering your Max.

 

I have Eibachs on my ride for a long time and they have worked well on the messed of streets of NYC.

 

I just installed progress with the RSB and I ride on 20's and NYC streets with Ramberg and the ride is great.
