B or C springs

[97predator]

I've pretty much narrowed it down to the Ford B or C springs. From what I understand the B springs are progressive while the C's are constant. The springs will go into a daily car that sees 12K plus a year in mileage, mostly on the highway. I am more concerned with how the car handles as opposed to launching at the strip. I live in the Hampton Roads area which has some areas with rough roads. I know the B springs are little softer since they are progressive, but do they sacrifice performance when compared to the C's?

I really enjoy my C springs and they're not too uncomfortable. My vote is for those but then again I've never tried the B's.

I've been looking at this too, and I've decided to go with B springs. Yes, performance in the corners is not as good as with C springs, but the ride should be better. I'm willing to trade some performance for ride. I think the B springs will be a good upgrade from the stock springs.

I went in another direction from my choice. I found a garage that was closing and liquidating its inventory so I grabbed some Vogtlands for cheap. I know of Vogtlands from my sisters' husbands BMW's and Benz he had them on. They were a quality spring and comfortable ride and add to the fact that i picked them up for less than a new Xbox 360 game.

I plan on installing B springs. As noted above good balance between comfort and performance.

Whoa! Nice avatar ^ ! Got a bigger version ?

I would suggest the "C" springs too, but if you got the Vogtland's for that cheap then I would've done the same!
