Here's the ordeal:
I currently have Tenzo R springs, but my ass end is too damn low anymore for driving so many people around and on long trips. I want to raise it back up, and get some better ride quality as well. I dont want it to sit too high, don't want to go back to stock springs if I dont have too.

Sportlines:Boast about the same drop or lower than the Tenzo's do, so don't think they would help me fix my problem at all.
Pro-kit:Seems reasonable, just don't know if that would sit too high, I really dont want a whole lot of wheel gap with my wheels that are on it right now...but I could deal with it, if it only rode a **** ton better than it currently does.

Any other kit idea's? Also, it's now got 73k miles on it, so would you think just replacing my rear shocks would help?

I'm confused on the suspension choices I've got in front of me.

 

Yeah, replace the rear shocks wouldn't be a bad thing.

The tenzo's are DAMN soft which is why it's soo bouncy! I would go with SSC's, similar drop but a much better spring rate.

Or just sake **** it and get the coilovers!

 

If I didn't have **** to pay off in the next month (including a speeding ticket...ya, **** me right?) I would go for coilovers, but thats not realistic possibility right now.

I have found a little bit of info about the Tenzo's tend to settle and drop some more after miles been put on them, maybe thats my problem.

I have a chance to get some Sportlines for a little cheaper than new from TitaniumSS, but I don't want to just blow the money and be in the same situation I am now, rubbing the **** out of my back tires with weight in the car.

 

Yeah, I don't think the sportlines are gonnna help your problem... I would do the pro-kit little less drop but a stiffer spring rate so they won't sag so much!

Yeah, I almost had those wheels and springs on my car before I moved out here!

 

You might want to consider the Progress springs as well. They provide a drop that I believe is between Pro Kit and Sportlines and they ride nice (I have them). I would probably replace the shocks as well though, no matter what you do.

 

either SSC's i have them, there very very good, just sit a little high for my liking.

sportlines or progress

 

Prokits will put you back to stock in front and will put rear about 1/2" lower than stock, but you definitely wont have anywhere near the bottoming issues.

Sportlines are a much nicer spring than Tenzos, Id honestly think you wouldnt have real problems with bottoming with them either(unless your rolling 5 deep or you put fat kids in the back) and youll keep the drop you like.

 

When I meant hauling people around, I meant a full 5 people in my car, and some gear.

So, I'll go ahead and look into Progress springs.

 

You should look into HHR springs if you go around fully loaded like that all the time, Goldlines are what seem to really popular for them.

 

sportlines are .5"-.75" higher then tenzos ive compared them side by side

 

Sorry to hijack but since they're were being discussed I'm looking into SSC or Progress and want the least bouncy/better handling spring of the two. Opinions?

 

pm area47 I think he has ssc and so does 1bad blueberry or elderberry or whatver he calls himself. Me I use Pedders period.
