What Springs For City Bumps And Potholes?

I'm going to install AGXz in a couple of weeks when it comes through. What springs should I get to go along with them? My friends told me either H & R, or Progress. What do you guys recommend? Keep in mind it's for driving in the city.

I would personally go with Sprints because they seem to give the lowest drop @ 2 inches. However that is just my 2 cents.

I agree with Cyrus. The AGX's ride awsome with OEM springs. I ran that setup for almost a year.

If you must lower it, stick with H&R's.

I say you get some GC coil overs and raise it all the way front and back.....this way you would never have to worry about any potholes and at the same time you can do a little off-roading here and there

So, the H&R springs are better for city potholes? Or do you ppl recommend something other than that. I don't want to raise my car. What is the best price for H&R and where to get it?

SPRINT

Your ride will look nice in the parking lot, and your ride home really wont be bad at all...people over egsagerate<---spelling,...sometimes I forget i have them cause the ride is awsome...Get the KYB-AGX with the sprints and dial them up soft...I have the set on 3 in front and 5 in back with my 17's and have no trouble with bumps...its more bouncy than harsh and your ride will look good...If your looking for a stock SE ride, stay with your springs you have now...maybe lowering springs arent for you


just my $.02 its free
