subie23 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 how are the springs now? have they dropped more now that theyve been driven on for a while? is it even or does it sag in the rear? im pretty set on these but want to make sure one last time before i buy them.

naimouasta Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 they've dropped a smidge in the front. i think the rear is about the same. the drop is even. they are definately good springs all around. they are not slammed springs if thats what you're looking for.

Ryandigi Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 The fronts are high on the spec b, but its still lower than stock. These springs are great. This is how I would have expected the spec b and the GTs too feel out of the factory. Because my cars a daily driver its perfect for me. I should have pics up by this weekend. Too busy to take pics and post. You think this could cause some high speed instability? I hate my tophats then . Well now I will wait until my shocks go out so I can get some coilovers. I love these springs even if my car looks like I have 200 pounds of crap in the trunk. There is no tradeoffs on ride quality that I can tell without back to back drives, but there is a large improvement in roll and stability. If anything the new springs have showed how soft the steering bushings are and might be the next change needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawlwawl06 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I have another question, do these springs eliminate the pitching and diving the car does with stock springs? I would like the drop, but I want to get rid of body roll and all of the rocking the car does upon acceleration and braking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 It should help with the front to back movement. A sway bar is what you would be looking for to help with body roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i have rallitek front/rear sways, they are great. I just want to get rid of a bit more body roll and the pitching and diving. I'll do some more research.

naimouasta Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 I have another question, do these springs eliminate the pitching and diving the car does with stock springs? I would like the drop, but I want to get rid of body roll and all of the rocking the car does upon acceleration and braking OMG this is one of the things i hated about the stock suspension, the pitch and dive. these springs definitely will get rid of most of the pitch and dive. i have HIDs and with the sharp cutoff of our lights, it was actually annoying to see the beam of light point up and down everytime i tried to accelerate and brake. now there is minimal up and down, pitching and diving. considering the price, this is probably the best single mod we can do. what i need now is what you have, the rallitek antiroll bars.

katalyst Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 ^ you could try tein h-techs if you want, it'll drop them a little lower than the ralliteks; i don't want to thread jack so you can search the forums for pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subie23 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 i might still get the ralliteks because ive heard good reviews from everyone but i cant seem to find anything on the h techs? are they as good as the ralliteks perfromance wise but drops lower?
