Best Springs for 08 Sport Sedan

Finally gonna drop her, just trying to get an idea what would be the best fit for her. I heard B&G is best for sedans.

Opinions?

Same deal as the coupe. Stock LNF or Pedders. I think the Pedders can be had for 300 even the days.

Well, it's not so much that the Pedders THAT good. It's that everything else, other than the stock LNF springs, are utter garbage. The rest dump the car way too much, and are too soft. I'll bet money that almost all of them are also running softer springs in back, which will promote more understeer. Not sure about the Pedders rates, but the car drives well on stock and Koni setups.

I have Pedders and was very surprised to see how soft the rears are compared to the fronts. This was using a simple *bounce* test..pushing the rear end down. I don't know what stock was in the rear, but I'm sure it wasn't any firmer. The rears are *****n SOFT!
No wonder adding a rear sway bar it a must.

I think they are too soft mine the coils hit together over larger bumps making a very annoying clanking. They need to have the tubing like other shortened springs especially for $300 plus.

TC springs/shocks with OTTP swaybar is best ride I have found and still very very good handling.

I appreciate all the information. I think I'm going to try my luck with the B&Gs, because I have found them for a pretty good price. But worst comes the worse Ill sell them and try a different setup.

Plus I live in FL, so roads here are actually pretty decent compared to other states I've been in lol
