    Whats going on boys.

    I was wondering if you guys know the springs rates for eaibach prokit springs.
    I know the Suspension Techniques springs are 135 lbs. Per in. on the front spring, and 61-165lbs. Per in. on the rear spring.

    You guys know the springs rates for the dropzone coilovers? From what I know they are the siffest spring.

    Anyway.. what springs do you guys use and how's the ride??

    Thanks

    I dont want to buy ebay coilover because I dont trust them. Your whole cars weight are on them.. It could be pretty bad if one of the sleeves were to break while driving...

    Do any of you guys use 5gen celica springs? I was thinking of maybe buy the dropzone coil-overs or springs off the internet.

    eh watup ya'll, eh jus need some advise. I was thinkin bout gettin some lowering springs for my car cuz rite now the stance aint rite, it a lil higher than i would like it. Now i dont want it slammed or nuttin cuz rite now this is my daily driver and I dont wanna have to sacrifice ride quality. Rite now it rides like a Caddy, i was thinkin bout jus cuttin down my stock springs, maybe half a turn, to lower it slightly. Would doing this makin my ride quality too bumpy? Would cutting half a curl lower the car bout a inch? GIve me some insight.
