Default Springs

Does anyone have regular springs on their ITR. I need some until I can afford Tein$. Does anyone have any suggestions. I was thinking Eibach Sport Lines. I would like a considerably nice ride. Thanks

Hmmm, after experiencing lowering springs, I would sway anyone away from modifying the R's suspension with other than quality equipment. IMO, the sportlines suck. A big minus with them is that they make the front sit higher than the rear. My advice would be to keep it stock until you have the money for a full suspension setup, but that's just me

I did have Neuspeed Sport springs on my first R and while it sat nice, I was not impressed with the handling at all.

I have heard good things about the H&R sport springs. Drops the car about 1.5" and most that have them say it is an improvement over stock springs. Don't have them on my car yet, but will be ordering them soon

I have TEIN S-Tech Medium springs on my car w/ stock ITR shocks.

Firms things up 15% Plus drops the car perfectly. A tad bit lower in the front than the rear. Looks aggressive.

Springs gave me 1.5+ negative camber. Steer in response and road feel much better.

Great upgrade to improve looks, improve handling.

I am currently running the H&R sports and I have no complaints. The ride is acutally very close to stock quality( which in reality is always a little rough but not bouncy). They sit reall nice and I would recommend them if you are looking for a lowered stance... as for driving(handling)...it is tough to tell a difference from stock but it is not worse by any means. So if it is for handling mostly then I would hold off for the good stuff but it you want looks also now then I say
