RE: springs installed!!!!!
stiffer and lighter, is the way to go.
ride a bike(stiff), then ride one with springs on the front and back and watch how its harder to pedal(soft),
the hatch is very heavy remove the hydraulics and see, wonder if i can get it in fiberglass and id install a thin piece of plexiglass.

RE: springs installed!!!!!
I was thinking about either going with the sportline or pro-kit. Whch would you recommend man? Also, i have to deal with speedbumps almost everywhere i go, including home, so do u think itll be a hassle? Also, how is it with a car full of people (4 people, including driver)? and lastly, i have 10.5' wide in the rear and 9' wide in the front rims, u think itll scrub if i lower mines?
sorry bout all the questions, thx in advance~!

RE: springs installed!!!!!
I don't want to argue, but if your springs fell out the way you say, then I am pretty sure they were bagged. (Mine fell out cause they were broke) A compressor is the only safe way to remove them. And telling people on the internet that you don't need one is iresponsible IMO.
Yes you can get fiberglass rear hatch. But in street applications I don't see the benifit other then weight rreduction, but you are removing weight from the rear of the car which is bad for traction unless the front is already super light.

RE: springs installed!!!!!
i actually had 3 oher girls in my car this morn to go to breakfast and never bottomed out even though i went over 2 speed bumps and a railroad track that sticks up in the middle.... i would do the prokit if ur lookin for a small drop cause its not gonno be much ..... i reccomend the sportlines just go slow over bumps to make sure.... and i have 245's all the way around and they dont even rub when the wheel is turned all the way..... about ur rim width and whether or not ull rob i dont know but the funny thing is i just posted another thread askin if they would fit cause i wanna get 17x10.5 and 17x9 bullit wheels for her
