I need somme info or feedback on what you think or know. I am looking to drop my ride. I am looking to keep a smooth ride but at the same time drop it nicely.

1)SCENARIO: If i go with the Sprint Springs which give me a 2" drop and tokico shocks. Will i get a ruff and nasty ride or will it be pretty smooth?????

2)SCENARIO: If i go with the Eibach Spring which give me a 1.25" drop and tokico shocks. Will i get a smooth ride or a nasty ruff ride???

Keep in mind this car is my everyday ride and it is important that that any all the HOOO's enjoy the ride, you guy's know what i mean...... hope i didn't offend any fellow honey that join us MAXIMA DRIVERS.........


Hope to get some good feedback..........


Thanks
Late!

I did some research on this topic and I finnally made a decision and went with H&R and Tokico. The ride is very close to stock, closer than Eibach or sprint. The drop is about the same as Eibach but without the harshness. I don't know about sprints but I can't imagine them not being stiff. Overall I am very happy with my H&R+tokico combo

if you do care about smooth? ride quality, than go w/ the h&r's w/ the tokicos. i have eibachs, but i wanted the stiffest ride i could get for the money i had. i wanted more perfomance than anything else. if you want the drop, but stock feel, go w/ the h&r/tokico's. i believe the sprints are as stiff or more than the eibachs (which is one of the reasons i suppose many are switching over, besides the height).

I've got the Sprint/Tokico setup. I dont find the ride to be that bad at all. It's defintiely firmer than H&R, but not harsher than the stock suspension on my dad's old 94 300ZX Turbo.

You got it ~98maxse

Same here....After shopping around for new set of springs/struts to replace my stock suspension, I went with H&R/Tokico setup. It's an everyday car for me, and leisure on wkends, no racing (unless some jerk is asking for a smackdown). Hence, I don't need a serious drop but with the H&R, you'll get about 1.4" drop in front and 1.3" for the rear. The Eibach and Sprint springs will give you a 'sportier' ride, versus the 'comfy/snug' ride you'll get with the H&Rs. Just my take on it.
