Im looking into gettin springs for my 04 Type S.. Just looking for some feedback on what people have... How the ride.. the drop ..etc
thanks

 

why not full coilsovers

 

PRO TIP: Save up and do it right the first time, and you will save money down the road. (coilovers)

 

Or get a good spring/shock combo. You don't need to spend $1000+ (coilovers) for a good setup.

 

anyone else

i think coilovers are overkill if people don't plan on autoxing or road racing.

 

If you go with lowering springs, WhiteOnRice is correct; match it up with a good shortr shock. You can use your stock ones for a little while but they won't last long.

all the above posts are correct... as from my experience.

mine came with "Nuesprings" Yellow- Racing series- 2" drop...
i LOVE it!
its very solid/stiff... no wheel rub (even with tall snow tires!)

but what they said about oem shocks is true,
mine and many others have "blown-out"/leaked after only 20,000 miles after being lowered.
i've looked into shocks, with koni's and tokico's as a viable option...
(but if i were you, i'd go with adjustable coil-overs and be done with it! then you're not held back)

when lowering with springs, expect a steering creak, get a camber kit and new shocks, then a good alignment!
good luck

 

We've had like a thousand threads on this. Did you try searching?

 

hey todd00... suck my nuts

 

springs will be fine. I have H&R springs, as well as skunk2 springs for my ep3.. They both ride better than stock. I Highly suggest upgrading your shocks though. Mine feels like I hit a [freak]ing goat everytime i go over a bump
