Pedders springs
Redline update : I have tried SC springs, T3 springs, Eibach springs and now Pedders Springs. On TC struts/Shocks. Pedders are the best for me. Firm ride, modest drop, good rake, lots of wheel travel , no coil bind crashing over bumps and awesome handling with a Time Attack Hardcore rear bar....Maven has the same set up, he was first...I have seen the light

Like qwik said, Ive got Pedders too....they are imo the best springs out there for the Balt if you are looking for the best combination of performance, ride and looks. In that order. They drop in between Sportlines and Prokits. They are more comfortable than Sportlines, and handle better.
I have heard of people having install issues, such as "they dont fit" Id like to hear more/see pics but I am sure there arent any
I didnt have to cut my bumpstops as you can see, I didnt leave out any parts, I didnt have to modify anything, closest thing to "work" when putting these in was I had to use a rubber mallet to fully set the upper spring seat in the rear, hardly what I would call a notable fitment issue.
These springs retail for $360 and are worth every penny if you are after handling. If you just want "drop" or "lowering" springs these arent for you.

Only thing there Nick is these are performance springs, not lowering springs. So it may not be as low as you want dude

H&R springs are amazing, I wouldn't pay that much for pedder spring that only make the ride firmer. when I can get springs from people that have more knowledge (not just H&R) for a lot less.

Ive got 245/40-18s, on OZs........
Like everyone always says, we are cheap......I may not be able to afford $7,000 Ohlins dampers but I dont bash them because of the price. Youre right, why bother paying $360 for a spring that only rides firmer. OH WAIT!!!! No one ever said all it did was ride firmer......I clearly remember posting that it actually rode BETTER than sportlines, and that the blend of handling/ride was imo superior to every other spring Ive driven. You can get springs from people who have more knowledge??!?!! Thats a pretty bold statement. By people with more knowledge are you referring to more knowledge than me, or more than Qwik? Or more than Pedders? Doesnt really matter because knowledge isnt what is really being judged here, its the execution of the product.....Eibach makes GREAT products, they are iirc the winningest suspension company in the world and supply parts to virtually every form of wheeled motorsport you can imagine...and if you look around youll surely see where I have endorsed their product.......that does not change the fact that the Pedders handle better and ride more comfortably.
WANT
They are progressive, but nowhere as dramatically so as stock or Eibach.
