Hi fellas, I really don't have all that much money and I want to upgrade my suspension. I know that tokico premiums are a good overall value, and they are the shocks I plan on using for the upgrade. I can't seem to decided between Sprint or Eibach springs. Which do you guys think I would like better?? I'm looking for overall improved handling w/o compromising having a jarring ride. I have 17" rims and the ride is smooth, yet I feel the bumps more due to the 45 sidewalls. I don't mind the bumps that an upgraded suspension will give me, but then again I don't want a super harsh ride that nobody can bear.

Someone else posted that the ride of the Sprints and Eibachs are the same. Is that true?? Being that they are both progessive springs and stuff, I don't see why the wouldn't give the same ride? But then again the Sprints drop the car a lot more, could that cause a harsher ride??

One last thing that I definitely need answered it that if I buy the Sprints, will I need a new camber kit to reduce the negative camber?? My guess is YES, but I really don't know. If so, then who makes a good camber kit that is fairly cheap??

Thanks for the helping,
ICE

everybody ive seen with toks and eibachs..say they their tokicos go out in 6ks...

i dont think the tokicos will take the 2'' drop that sprint gives.

if you get the sprints you can get a ingalls camber kit for like 50 bucks(around that). im not sure you need it..but i think someone posted that you could use it.

so basiclly..

eibach + tokicos = dead tokicos in 6ks and not that great of a drop..
spring + tokicos = not sure..doubt the struts will last..nice drop though..

try h&r..they have a more comfy ride than eibachs..and dont as long as sprints...
