Springs

[matt3989]

i want to get performance springs along with shocks but i can find prings that dont lower the car, since i have a body kit on it i dont want to lower the car any

what springs do you guys sugest?, and were can i get them?

THe 98-02 pro-kit only lowers the car abotu a 1" and acutlly is good for handling. SInce there made for ls1, it wouldnt set to much differernt on your iron block/head setup hehe. Alot of guys try to get there hands on the 1le springs cuase there stiffer but dont move the cars height.

If you just want your car to handle better, Throw a set of bilsten HDs on.

But I do not know what your want to do with the car or your goals, so its hard to help ya!

if you throw a 35mm sway on with stock springs its gonna oversteer like crazy huh.
thats a bad setup
you need stiffer springs for the sway to work right.

Edited taht part out. I'm so in the mindset of having v8 springs and everything now, that i keep forget the v6 spring rates are low!

SO ya tell us what you want and we can go from there.

if youre talking about the eibach springs. yes, the prokit lowers it. its more like 1.4-1.5".

do you guys think that dropping it 1 inch would be a bad idea with the factory appearance package?

and once i get springs, shocks, and sfc i was going to go with a 32mm sway bar up front and a 19 in the rear, is that a decent set up? any suggestions?

"if you throw a 35mm sway on with stock springs its gonna oversteer like crazy"

???? How does a bigger front bar make the car oversteer?

"you need stiffer springs for the sway to work right."

I agree that springs and bars need to be matched. But that's a balance thing, and much more important for the rear bar. Why does a bigger front bar need stiff springs?
