No, buy a used set of eibach springs from ebay for $100 instead . Those arospeeds will give you a crappy ride.

They do offer a good ride though. (not bouncy) I'd prefer Ground Controls though.

arospeed sux, they have 7" springs with a very high coil/inch ratio. You want a set with 8" springs (for the front, 7" is fine in the rear) and a low coil/inch ratio.

Get some ground controls, or some cheap coilovers for $75(arospeed is fine) and replace the front springs with some eibachs for $100.

As for the skunks, they are ok also... but im pretty sure they have short springs. Although a better coil/inch ratio.

and for the record... arospeed springs bind under ~1300 lbs of pressure, along with dropzone and OMNIPOWER. I have them all and had them tested at a local shop. They all had ~3.1" of travel (CRAP, cuz of the coil/inch ratio) and had a less than advertised 420lbs/in rate.

Your car alone applies ~900lb per front spring while resting, and the other few hundred come along very easily by hitting bumps and hard cornering.

My new eibach 8" springs bind at ~1900 lbs, while offering the same 425lb spring rate. Now you do the math, hahah.

My friend had Arospeed FULL coilovers on his old car, and they were junk. You can imagine what the sleeves would probable be like.

no not arospeed coilovers. but to just put the nuespeed spring and put it on like that. will it work or is the spring to long. to make it easier what if i take the the arospeed spring and replace it for the nuespeed spring but it is not a coil over spring will it still work.

if you already have the coilover sleeves, then pay the 100 bucks and get some good coils... like some eibachs. If you are trying to use the neuspeed springs that are full springs, they will be much too long/will not work on top of coilover sleeves.

Dont cheat yourself! I did that and baught adjustable coils and 4 months later my STOCK shock boot busted. Save your money and look into something like an actual suspension application such as.....Koni or Tein just to name a few. I suggest you do some research when it comes to suspension cuz you dont want to make the same mistake that i did. It will be expensive but you wont be disappointed!
