I don't like it when they put up a picture of a general purpose spring instead of the actual spring. For that price, you think they could take a picture of the actual product.

I just got the H&Rs and it is a 1.5", I am pretty happy with it. I think the eibach's 1.1 and 1.3 is kinda weak. 1.5 seems about pefect, maybe even a TAD lower, like 1.6 or 1.7

Just my 2 cents.

375$us would be about 395$can at the current rate...

cup-kit from the local shop are 950$ can really not the same price and cup-kit are not evan ajutable i think

koni yellow are ajustable you can evan chose the valving you want with koni yellow....

if i had a bit more money i would buy Ground control Sleeve kit they are 625$ can sad.gif

h&r springs are the cheapest but some poeple had problem with those sad.gif

I'd be more than willing to pay the extra for a good set of springs, like my HKS hard rated ones.

I'd just like to know the spring rate on these. If it's stiff enough, it could be more than worth it.

Remind me when Jay gets back from Honeymoon and i"ll get some more info on them.

Hell no I wouldn't pay $150 more. The only way I'd pay that much is if they were custom tensioned for my racing needs. These aren't. They most likely have the same specs as any other spring on the market.

And Redz, you didn't pay $400 for your HKS. More like $50 through a lucky find.
