Does anyone know where I can get some relatively inexpensive coil springs? Nothing performance, just stock replacement. My car has the driver's side sag and I think it is contributing to some vibrations I get occasionally.

 

the sag comes from blown shocks. in addition, driver side is always lower due to a missing shim in the strut. that's why passenger side will always be higher compared to driver side.


after trying many spring combos, i just switched back to stock springs and tokico's. works great for me and i dont bottom out anymore.

 

Ok, works for me. Haven't messed with suspension stuff much in the past. So it's time for shock/strut replacement.

 

Kinda wondered the same. My springs are rather flat from 190K miles, and I am not sure about whether I want to go with lowering springs, or just some basic replacements.
Saw an off-brand on ebay for about $200 a set, but I have no idea of their quality.
I have considered autocrossing the car, but I think they will force me to go straight into the street prepped class, due to the 15 wheels/tires that came on the car when I bought it. If that is the case, I just as well get eibach or similar springs, as that would be cheaper than another set of tires and wheels.

 

just watch the classifieds, and ebay.

i just picked up a set of Ground control/Eibach springs for $100 shipped on ebay

 

I looked at those too, but Racing Beat's where the same price so I went with Racing Beat. I haven't installed them yet though.

I have the RB springs and they are a much better spring than the stockers, which are stupid soft. Coupled with some Tokico HP struts and shocks, you'll have a firm but not punishing ride that will be far superior to the stock setup, even when new.

 

I found RB's springs to be very affordable compared to *anything* I could find locally. And they're performance to boot.

Edit: I also went with KYB GR-2 gas shocks and I couldn't be happier!

Yeah, I have those KYB GR-2 shocks/struts, and they are pretty decent. But, with the stock springs getting flat, the ride is good, until ya hit a oklahoma road. Kinda sucks, since I live here. In fact, the rear springs are so flat, the previous owner put some spacers in the springs, which only add to the problem.
How do the RB springs compare to Eibach, in ride quality and handling?
