how often do your springs come out there seat?
not knowing what springs i have on my car sucks..i bought the car with them,liked the decent drop and installed kyb agx's with them...the stock shocks were blown so i needed them...now after doing so the car handles pretty well but sems as the springs are to soft or to hard...when taking corner harder than usualy taken i hear the spring from the wheel with no lean on it come out the seat and then resettle once outta the turn..would this be normal..? h&r sports are in my agenda for the new year once winters over to fix my mystery spring problem...what do u think?
TIA

i have no idea..they were on the car when i bought it..they are black and have no visible writting on them...if they are to short then that will explain the clunking i hear at times in the back...

this is happening to be as well. i recently raised my teg with ITR springs and apparently the rear springs are shorter than the tokico ones i had on. My tokico struts are actually longer than the OEM ones. I'm considering a pair of koni's at the moment for the rears.
it happens. *shrug*

don't do H&R Sports, they suck.
I've never seen springs come unseated unless they had been cut, or if they were adjustable coilover springs.

since you say the springs are black with no visible markings on them, i would imagine that they rae stock springs that have been cut, i've never experienced it with any proper fitting stock/shorter spring on any of my cars, even with cheap *** springs.
