I installed my YYZ springs last night and all i can say is wow. so much better than pedders. Turn in is much sharper and smoother. The car corners flater and feels more planted. More oversteer in corners but nothing unmanageable. I need to get an alignment before i really beat on it. Also No more crashing the bumpstops!

I'm counting on it. If my lap times don't get better, I'm going to want a full refund... or maybe a free hardcore bar

I won't be getting new tires before then though, my NT05s have plenty of tread left on them that I can't justify replacing them already.

Looks don't bother me if they perform. I think they look pretty good for a performance spring.

They kick serious butt and ride so nice. Night and day...lol
its down to very good spring wire material, engineered and made in America, and progressive rate. Hard to beat for 310 + shipping until the end of the month. Greedy capitalistic pigs gotta make more money....

They were great on the track! Much more predictable and better transitions than the stock springs. I will definetly get koni's for next season though, but they are completely not needed for anyone worried about not having them. I am currently on FE5 ss/tc struts and the ride is perfect for the street. Thanks again John!

Wish there was some way to have these handling characteristics on a low trim though. I don't think I can go back to 4x4ing. Even sitting on CM springs my car is a bit high for me. I nearly went H&R but I didn't want the shitty ass ride. Oh well, YYZ probably ftw.

I think after installing Capn Slo's HHR with YYZ, that this is the nicest install of all
Think about it: 350 lbs heavier at the rear,close to 900 lbs solid load on the rear spring,
1/2 inch lower trim height all around compared to stock springs.
rides and handles awesome. Whats not to like?
