FC progressive spring choices

I'm looking for a progressive spring setup for my 1991 N/A. I know of the Eiback Pro-Kit, but are there any other good choises? I was planning to pair them with the KYB AGX's and Susp Tech poly bushings.

Price is really not that big of a deal (within reason), but I want a good ride quality since I daily drive my 7. But I also want great performance. I was originally looking at the RB springs but I do not think I could street a linear springevery day. I perhaps could deal with it, but then my girlfriend would never get in the car with me.

Any ideas?

racing beat springs are awesome. they are not progressive though. my TII handled good with the eibach's but the RB should be better tuned for the car

I agree with Vosko. The RB's are the ****. The ride is great to me, but again that is a relative statement.

Have you thought of ST springs- I believe they are progressive. I like the set I have also have a set of RBs that I havent put on the other car to test yet.

What's up Randy. I haven't seen the ST's in person. I'd really like to know if they are progressive or not. I asked someone who had them and he just assumed they were linear. I still have doubts.

I guess I'll just call them tommorrow. hehe. Maybe someone will answer my question before I make it.

TIA, Rishie

I am running the Susp Tech "LINEAR" springs with KYB AGX shocks... Ride isn't bad at all and I put down about 2500-3000 miles a month on the car. Its a little bouncy when driving slow over bumps but when your moving you feel like the tires are glues down to the road.

I paid like $170 for the springs shipped from Summit Racing

I ssay go with them....
