Everybody seems to favor pedders..but a comfortable ride is not what i'am looking for...I want to know what is the best spring for handling.

 

...pedders.



do people choose an aftermarket spring for a more comfterble ride? if so wtf?

 

some people just want a nice drop with a smooth ride and dont care so much about handling.

 

well i figured sportlines would be best handling considering its the lowest center of gravity idk

 

center of gravity is important, but on a street driven car .2 inches makes no difference hahahah

Spring rates matter, not ride height.

Pedders.

 

this theory is wrong. sportslines are the best for looks (opinion obviously)

Pedder springs ss/tc strut combo is the best you can get aside from a few good branded coilovers

best said.

off topic. role models, awesome movie

 

sportlines are basically only good for the drop.

pedders will give you both a livable ride and the proper spring rates to give you good handling.

 

this is what you need to do on the car

coilovers - stance OR cheaper option go with pedders and fe5 struts.
powergrid adjustable sway bar links
powell rotated mounts
powell spherical cabs
powell derlin bushings
powell rear twisting beam spherical bushings
powell 1.25" sway bar
stock front bar

should be good there lol

all honesty if you want the best spring for handeling its either going to be pedders springs or the eibach prokit with fe5 struts. pro kit gives you .5" in the rear though and thats it so pointless. i had h&r springs and the ride is horrible and the handeling is no where close to stock, my buddies eibach has the same issue and all the other springs are junk except pedders.

 

The lower the car, the closer you are to your bumpstops. gotta remember that

 

this is true as well.

Unless you have an axle drop... and soon to be custom struts... hehe

 

^jerk

 

haha alright iam trying to absorb this all in so in relaity pedders with a nice rear sway bar would take the the turn better then eibachs and whatever rear sway bar guessing the ottp hardcore

 

get pedders, OTTP Hardcore or Street bar, SS/TC Shocks/Struts. But if you want the absolute best setup Boosted layed it out for ya. Costs some $$ though

 

nah i ust want something thats gunna be a few stepups from stock :O). like if for some reason i see like 9 cones ina line iw anna zip ina nd out of em haha i tried doing that doing like 40 on a highway turn and it didnt turnout so well

 

Get pedders 1st. Biggest step up. if you wanna keep going look at the sway and shocks/struts of SS/TC

 

boosted09 prolly has the best idea but the most expensive. i got k sport springs, strut bar, and rear sway bar. works well for the **** i do. eventually im gonna rebuild my suspension to make my car into an auto x ride

 

iam guessing you cant use springs for autox only coilovers

 

Why would you guess that?

 

why do you say that? springs are perfectly fine if you find the right spring/strut combo. coilovers are always a bit better since you have the adjustability but not everyone wants to fork out the cash for them. pedders and fe5 struts would do you well.

 

Coilovers will radically change the class you participate in as well....

 

well it depends. in some classes ive seen some coilovers will equal certain higher end strut spring combinations as far as points go BUT if you get a real baller set of coilovers you will alter your class substantially.
