New springs...what to get
Ok so i got a parking pass at school...finally but wait its on a dirt baseball field that you have to basically go over a curb to get to and to even get to the curb u have to go over about 10 speedbumps (4 of whice i scrape on w/ sportlines) [sm=headbang.gif]. Anyway if i keep the sportlines im going to need CC plates ($200) and im thinking of just selling the sportlines and going with some H&R Sport Springs. Do you guys think that this is a good idea (going to H&R)...im going to have to go over the speedbumps eventually (next year) but i guess what im asking is what are the chances that im going to need CC plates even with H&R? Any other brands that you suggest?
Sportlines = 2" drop
H&R = 1.6"-1.75" drop
Sportlines = 2" drop
H&R = 1.6"-1.75" drop

h&r's are great, if you go with the supersports then yes you'll need cc plates. i hear alot of people bottoming out and scraping with there car lowered, either the roads in northern michigan are great or i'm just one of the lucky ones. i've only scraped once in a year. keep your sportlines, get the cc plates and just take it slow over those speedbumps.
