Thinking about new springs

[steveb24]

ive had my h&r supersports for almost a year now, and now that im driving to work and school on the highway alot, the harshness is starting to bother me alot more than it used to. im looking at the pro kit or h&r sport springs, but im wondering if the difference in ride comfort will be noticable/worth it? i also have the adjustable shocks/struts, is there anyway i can adjust them to gain more comfort? right now there set on setting 3 i think. and i dont really go to the track much, maybe once a year, but i like to rip it around town... if that helps w/ the spring choice. what would you guys do?

The pro-kit it a lot smoother than my old C springs ever were... They take bumps and harsh roads like a champ. I vote for the Eibach's

You could try the "softest" setting on your shocks. I won't rehash the old argument of Eibachs 'sagging' of course.....

yea..i thought that was only the sportlines for sagging.. but im ready to order something by tonight.. now that im thinking about it everytime i drive it seems like the ride is worse.. some of it might be in my head.. but yea.. its pretty bad for a dd.

And you're sure its not the shocks/struts as well causing some of the problems?

I got Supersports and Mach 1 S/S and yeah honestly i might consider a different combo soon too... for a DD its seems like bumps make the car shake and rattle like its pulling it self apart and when i go over big bumps it seems like the car twists itself... ALOT

quick question..how do you adjust the front struts on my adlustable struts? i just turned the dial on the rear shocks to setting 1, but i dont see a knob for the front struts. i want to see if this helps at all, but really im gonna get softer springs anyways because having a little stiff shock helps handling i would guess. thanks

can anyone help me out on adlusting my struts?

Is there not a little place to put a screw driver in? My Tokico's just use a blade screw driver.

Isn't it at the base of the strut?

How old are those KYB's?

IMO, get Bilsteins and enjoy. I have them with the SS's and the ride isn't harsh at all, IMO of course.

 

[Stang|ess]

there should be a slot for a flathead screwdriver on the very top of the strut.

with c springs, and tokico blues, I can feel every bump. after reading that the prokit is a lot smoother, I'm thinking about changing to them as well.

you change them first, and tell me how you like them ..

can anyone help me out on adlusting my struts?

"or through a screwdriver inserted into a slot at the top of the strut's piston rod."

Third year with my prokit and I love em. Don't even think I would consider changing my suspension. I got the prokit and the mach 1 shocks/struts

if either of you are thinking of changing out your H&R SS's and want to sell them cheap...let me know as I can find a nice home for them on my car if the price is right

i got a kid local who wants em for 200.. which is pretty good money back for em, even tho their only 4 months old. but anyways, i cant figure out the front struts, do i need to remove the c/c plates to get to the top of the strut. the backs were so easy with the dial, i dont see how the fronts would be hard, but i guess everything is when u dont know wtf ur doing or looking at..lol. thats a shame to say after just installing my cams myself. either way, the prokit's ordered so i hope theyll be good, ill let u all know in a few weeks when they come/ i get time to install them.
