Rtr springs

[EgDude]

Anyone ever run these? I'm having a hard time figuring out what I want spring wise. I don't want sportlines before someone says buy sportlines... Just wondering why i never see people with these springs. Also should add this is my daily driver and I'd like to remain comfortable.

Well, first off, they're new, so that'd be why you don't see anyone with them.

If you don't plan on replacing shocks, I'd get BMR SP080 Performance Springs (1.2F/0.5R drops). They're specifically designed for the PP shocks. You could also get a minimum drop front (.875" drop) at the same rate, the SP089, paired with the performance rears, SP082.

Go straight to Steeda Progressive, BMR Performance, or Swift Spec R and be happy.

I also like what I've read about the Vogtlands a lot. Apparently they are also designed to work with pp struts. Didn't know the rtrs were new. I'll look at the sp080.

Oh yeah, Vogtlands are nice, too! Been in a few cars with them. Owner was very happy - except with the paint job on the springs, but you won't see that purple ugliness.

Lots and lots of happy customers:

Springs need to be chosen for a specific purpose.

What is your purpose for installing them?

There are so many springs out there. Many, are just a guess on what the customer will want for looks...and the design behind them is "Well, we gotta make 'em stiffer so how about just doing 15% stiffer and call it a day"

If you want the springs for specific purposes, do some research on the rates, the purpose for each kit, and also decide on what supporting modifications that you want to make. For example, if you plan to get aftermarket shocks and struts, then you will want to narrow the springs down based on the rates and how you use your car...and that will result in your options being much smaller than the amount of total springs available for purchase.

lol......how in the world did you just post that?

I better watch what I post! Dang!

Daily driver. Some random fun here and there. Might hit the strip once or twice a year (depending on time off work). So more for looks and comfort but a little added performance is not a bad thing one bit. The sp080 looks about what I'm thinking. Vogtlands haven't had anything bad said about them and ya purple isn't my thing but like you said I wouldn't see them haha.

 

[BMR Tech]

The SP080 is the spring for you, based on the post above. I am very confident in that.

Enjoy!
