suspension techniqes are good for the person that mainly wants a lower stance with slightly more spring rate.

eibachs are alot stiffer and will be good for the auto-x'er

i don't think that tokico makes springs for our cars ... i know they have shocks (because i have them all around) and i also have eibachs all around. I've tried suspension techniques in the past and wasn't too happy about the results ... so i'm one up for hte eibachs ... but i hope that you can find htem because they have been discontinued even the guys on ebay don't really have them i've tried every single one of them.

Victoria British still has the Eibachs.

And you can find Tokico springs.

Well my Victoria British has them inside. I'll give them a call later on and verify that they are in stock.

I know they have Eibach's in stock, because I was looking into them with Konis and piece together a coilover setup.

The only problem with VB is they are about 100 bucks too high. Check the big online sites, Nopi, Summit, etc.

Go look in the Race Tech area for a guy setting up a Spec 7 car. Dave Turner sports told him they had a bunch of parts.

Dave Turner will sell you a set of the TMC cs-400 springs which are what are used in spec 7. They are stiffer than all the other spings listed, they fit on the stock pearch and cost about half as much as the others.

Thay are great springs!

rotor vs. piston

wow, I alwas thought the eibachs were softer than the ST's

I have ST's on the FB and eibachs on my SA but haven't driven that car yet.
