Um... H&R SS springs are progressive too...

 

Yea, looks like someone just brought their marketing degree with them to work today. Lol anyways, if you're going to go with coilovers, you will absolutely need c/c plates, and a good set at that. They help strengthen the strut tower to handle the extra stress the strut towers receive because of them now baring the weight of the vehicle.

 

Haha I thought the same thing teej. And yes I will most likely work with maximum motorsports when I go coil overs and use their cc plates

 

Ok my turn. I just put H&R SS on the GT and love them. They are progressive rate springs so the ride is not bad at all. The ride height went from 28" to 26.5" on all four corners with the isos's in. The stability of the car has changed a lot, but I have noticed that it does bottom out in the rear a lot so I have to watch the bumps. Not a big deal for me and not a deal breaker. I have yet to get it aligned which will be tomorrow and I have CC plates waiting just in case I need them. Overall I am very happy with the ride and look of the car.

 

Thanks Scooter, what shocks/struts did you go with?

So I've been doing some window shopping at MM's site, and saw the price for a front conversion is only $373. Until I noticed it doesn't include the shocks/struts.. only the springs. So altogether I'm probably looking at $1200 in parts alone? Because of the price I'm considering adjustable shocks/struts again. Does having adjustable shocks help at all with stiff PR springs?

 

Still running stock for right now. Car seems to be fine, but I know I will need them eventually. Most likely go with Tokico when the time comes.

 

Tokico adjustable or HP's? I have HR supersports and tokico HP shocks and struts sitting on my bedroom floor right now. But when I had them on my '00 they were incredibly harsh so I switched to bilsteins/ford racing c springs.

 

You're not going to "blow out" the dampeners, but the car will have a bouncy ride because the dampeners can't slow the suspension motion, so it has sort of a pogo effect over bumps. You don't have to upgrade the struts and shocks, but it's certainly recommended.


Geez, you're right. HR makes 4 or 5 different springs for our cars. When he said low & rough ride, I was thinking their constant rate springs (which I think are their "super race" not "super sport", but I can't tell from their website)


Good one. I guess you think I don't know anything about handling? I mixed up one set of springs with another one. It was an honest mistake, not a sneaky marketing ploy to trick him into buying our springs.

 

You guys should seriously carry H&R springs though, they sell way better than Eibach and from what everyone says H&R is much better quality.

 

Easy mistake...just seems awful coincidental that you seem to be usings the same sales techniques in two different threads about the same topic is all! I'm in retail sales as profession. My dad has been in retail sales as long as I can remember. I know a sales pitch when I see one.

Btw, h&r springs do much better and you should consider them to make your sprints instead of eibach. Just some food for thought! Eibachs have sagged, screwed up $300/piece drag radials, and rode harsh as hell. Just saying from first hand!
