higher spring rates
:werd: The higher the spring rate.. the stiffer they will be.. so they won't lower as much

if your gonna spend cash on springs save a little more and go with coilovers, so much better, and if you get a good set like some tiens you can adjust them yourself easily. Who is to say that you wont have the same problem with a new set of springs.

yeah, i think u should get a good good spring, that dosent go more lower then how it is.... Cause last week, i droved my friend.. He's a pretty much big guy. My car is like 1 pop can off the ground, next thing u know I droved off, the wheels are rubbing with the fenders.... I think u should get the stiff springs, go around and ask for infos.... Or maybe get airbag? i might plan on doing it too...

but yo, go around and ask those pros... and they'll help u out alot..

i'll have my tein s-tech springs for sale in about a week and a half, we can meet halfway if youre interested (i am in northeast pa)

let me know, they are definately good quality springs....hard enough for what youre looking for, but soft enough for a daily driver
