HKS Sport Springs
Has anyone heard good things about the HKS Sport Springs?
I have asked around and know one has heard anything about the Springs, I dont want them to sag later on or bounce like those cars with heated/cut springs.
They lower the car 1.5" and thats the drop I'm looking for.
Thanks

You get 'bouncing' when the springs are to stiff for the shocks to compensate. If you don't do the springs and shocks at the same time, you will wear the OEM shocks much quicker and soon be bouncing with the best of them.

I have the HKS springs and my car doesn't bounce. They're progressive rate and lower the car 1.25". After the swap, the stiffness felt about the same as my stock springs.

23mm front and 28mm rear is what they are. i have no idea where the 1.5" came from. most sites i guess have typo's.
front 23mm= 0.9" rear 28mm=1.1
i got it from thier master catalog
front 23mm= 0.9" rear 28mm=1.1

I've heard alot about linear v. progressive rates but I haven't been too interested in getting springs really yet. So what is the big difference anyways? I am pretty sure when I do get some springs I will get the Ground Control ones that are adjustable but I am wondering.

i have the HKS springs(with Tociko 5way) and they are very good.
HOwever, when i first put them in i did not like them at all, they were shitty, really unpredictable. but then i realized they had to break in.(350-450 miles) now they are bad *** after i added the sway bars. excellent street ride too.
The only bouncing i get is called race bounce
and even that is minimal and only on certain conditions.
