Not bad. I am driving around with CM springs in my trunk waiting for the weekend to get installed.

 

i have cm and sometimes i wish they were lower in the back

 

dont get me started about wanting my back end lowered...lol
those road magnets are an even drop which is nice. what are the spring rates on those?

 

Not sure I wanna say 320/280 its on their site

 

Cm? Idk

 

I find this hard to believe. So they ride better than stock, yet handle better at the same time while being significantly lower? Doesn't add up.

 

i cant explain it, takes roads better then stock sssc springs and it handles better.

 

Link to purchase site?

 

Lowering Springs | Welcome to Road Magnet | Roadmagnet

as an fyi theyve been producing suspension stuff since 1907 and started ding aftermarket stuff in 2001

 

WTF road magnets look legit!!! Give it 6 months and see how it handles bumps though. and its awsome you can get that painted any color for an extra $30!


Everyone always says they're car rides great because they probably have never hit a pothole, hit one sunk in storm drain and feel it in your lower back yuck!

 

I do all the time ^

 

IF their published rates are to be believed, and there is no reason to doubt them, then they are not softer than stock TC springs. Not rising rate either. And

 

Exactly.
It is impossible to find springs that have the same spring rate or stiffer than stock, that lower more than an inch...i will be getting these for my rear...

 

I'm still sceptical. I was under the impression that on stock suspension, you either have more handling and comfort or more low. But apparently here there is no compromise with these?

 

YYZ are the only progressive rate spring available, and this yields a nice ride and good handling and a stiffer rear spring the way we made them, for handling balance on an FWD car.
All the others,( and the road magnet are a decent spring I think) are linear in rate. Its the same rate throughout the ride travel. Therefore not as good a ride as YYZ and not as stiff when pushed or loaded to the limit.

But YYZ are not the lowest. Its not realistic to expect good handling balance with significantly reduced wheel travel. And its not realistic to expect good ride and good handling without a progressive rate spring.

And with all due respect to the folks here, few, if any, have "ridden off" springs on the same car as much as I have, for example. That's the best way in my opinion, to figure out where the rates should be . On and off the race track.

 

230F/205R SPRING RATE. 1.5"F/1.65"R LOWERING

so what are you saying here? that they are cheap? That they are. That they are progressive ? they say they are, do you believe them? I say bs. The shipping weight tells you something . 37 lbs.

good luck with that. but for under 100 dollars i guess you might as well try them. It seems to me , it would seem a shame to wreck the already decent handling stock TC but , meh.

THe PI site . Those springs will look good on your chevy Tacuma?

 

For me, I do not auto X, road race or do any driving of that sort, nor am I a good enough driver to push the LNF to its capabilities of suspension, or IMO notice the difference in handling from one spring to the other on the street as far a "handling" goes, ride quality is a different story.

 

I agree with you. I just drive

 

YYZ arguably have the best ride quality of any replacement spring, based on the customer feedback on this site....just sayin'.....

 

These are definitely a well rounded spring, yes the ride is stiffer, but I am fine with that. I've had STD R5 coilovers on my cavalier when I was 4" lower and THAT was a stiff ride, wow. But I feel these springs are exactly what I wanted. I like the drop, it is PERFECT and the increase in handling I do enjoy too.

 

On a side note, I fully expect a stiffer ride when going lower, if people are really concerned with a cush soft ride when lower, then it's not something they should do. Powell, I would;d consider your parts, however my pocket book says otherwise lol

 

You gotta pay to play.

 

Not in some people's cases. Some people are ghetto lol
