Hows ur car ride on springs.

Ive been waiting to lower my car with coilovers instead of springs because every car Ive owned on lower springs rode like ****. My buddy with a X said his car rides nice on Eibach Pro Kit Lowering Springs. What do the people on springs think about how their car rides.

I'm on the RRM springs and love them. Bumps are of course more noticable, and the ride is a bit more rough but definitely not uncomfortable. I daily drive my car in all seasons and have not had any problems yet. The important thing is to make sure and get good springs. Some cheap ones will destroy the way a car handles, and do nothing for you but drop it. In my opinion, if you went with Eibach, RRM, Tein or Swift you would like them. Just my 2 cents.

I have had both (RRM on Veronica) and Eibach Pro-Kit on a Mazda Protege5.

I prefer the Eibach - improved handling and no degradation in ride quality.

(I got the RRMs for $50 bux - so... there is that! )

i'm on H&R springs and i like the ride comfort. The quality of ride is pretty close to stock. The only thing I would complain about is the rear of the car. The shocks don't have enough rebound damping for my taste. Then again, it was like that on stock springs too for that matter.

I liked my springs.

I had swift springs on my car at first and I liked it. A little more stiff than stock of course but not by much. Didnt bother me at all. I like my coilovers better though. Ksport kontrol pros. They ride nice because I still daily my car it's perfect for me!
