Ok, i am buying springs here as soon as i can decide on what ones. Do i get teh Prodrive springs which have awesome reviews on them or save the $100 and go with the progress springs? anyone have any experiance with either? These will be run on my stock struts, for now; not sure how long but for a little while. The above poll was supposed to be PRODRIVE not perrin
I had the Progress's on my WRX and they killed my stock shocks after about 10k. I had the Progress rear sway bar also and loved it.
ouch thats quick but you still voted to go with teh progress. I guess thats anouther good reason to get the perrrin's they supposedly supposed to work perfect with the stock struts
wow, i have the same dilemma. The drop/price on Progress is attractive but from reading on nasioc it seems as if they are not very good for the stock struts. I guess you'll have to be the guinea pig now.
guess your question then should be is the $100 worth spending to not buy $200 - $400 in struts in a year and labor on top to fix..?@?@
yea i suppose you are right. I will probably be ordering the prodrives tomorrow. for oakos, thats the best price on them so far ive found $279 shipped
springs prodrives. I installed them on my 03 a couple months ago and the ride is really decent. I left my factory struts in place.
anyone heard anything about tein coilover RA's? i got a guy that is selling them for 650 shipped any feedback?
I wouldnt sell my stock suspension afterwards as tein coilovers have rust problems and they would be very unsuitable for winter. So unless you feel comfortable changing suspensions twice a year i wouldn't do it. also, the cheap price probably means they need rebuilding or are already rusting.
Alright one last question before i make my decision. Anyone heard any reviews + or - on the cobb tuning sport springs? They are also advertised to work with stock struts
^imo agx's are nice for how (relatively) cheap they are. Id imagine the gr2s would be a decent (slightly better than, but still considered a replacement for, stock) and economical choice also. I had both of these with neuspeed sports (sprung ~25% stiffer than stock) for a couple years on my last car. Cobb springs look promising but isnt the drop almost and inch lower front and back?
