Goin Low

alright so im getting springs probably by the end of the month and im stuck on 2 sets and i want opinions

-SSC
-H&R

i know that h&r have a couple different designs based on the drop, ride, and handling, SSC's ive heard they ride like stock and drop a bit i kinda want about an 1.5 drop in the front and somewhere from 1.7-1.9 in the back and H&R's have the drop but they have race springs and sport springs not sure where id go on those but i have rode in TommyP's SS when he had it and he had SSC springs rode pretty damn close to stock...anyway if theres any other spring that can compare and have personal experience with them help would be appriciated and im lookin to spend no more than 250$ or so on springs..i know theres stickys on this kind of info but i want u guys to come in here and tell me for yourself

I still stand by my view of Pedders, Ssc, and h&r as the best springs in order oh highest to lowest, in order of best handling to worst handling. Ssc IMO are a great balance of handling and low. H&r wouldn't be fun to live with where we live, and Pedders would be great but that depends on how much of a drop you want

Agreed on Pedders, but he stated he did not want to spend more than $250, so we didnt post about those great springs also!

You have anymore pictures of your car Derek? Those look to give me about the same drop I would want if I bought my stance coils. And alot cheaper lol Most of the cars I see with those springs have a weird rake to them.
