Toss up between Lowering springs

[jtiedemann4]

A week or so out is what I'm being told.

I have a PP GT with the Steeda Springs now. I have had them for 4 months now. They are producing a firm bouncy ride and on some roads unbearable. I'm really interested in the new progressive springs, hoping for a softer ride and a little lower in the front will be a nice plus. I have installed all of the suspension adders that you offer so far. I have been very satisfied with all of your products except the springs.

Not to diss our sponsors but I can't find any info on the h&r sport springs. Has anyone tried them? I just ordered some after much deliberation. I'm hoping that the negative rake is a typo. Has anyone had them? Any input is appreciated. Depending on what I find out tomorrow I may go with vogotland or steeda.

For someone to give spring recommendations, you'd need to tell what you want out of the car. Will the car ever see track time, road or drag? Primarily for looks or do you want more?

My car will never see track time but I wanted 2 things, looks and performance. For looks I wanted to close up the wheel gap without being so aggressive I would worry about rubbing or clearance issues and at the same time a good stance with a slightly positive rake (rear to front). For performance, I wanted to reduce the roll through corners and brake dive.

I chose the Steeda Progressives and they have been perfect for what I want. The progressive nature of the springs provide a lighter spring rate for the small bumps which make the ride very comfortable but when you take a hard turn or brake, they quickly stiffen and provide great support. These springs are actually MORE comfortable and provide better performance than my stock PP springs. If I was going to be tracking the car, I wouldn't have chosen a progressive spring, I would pick a linear for predictability and quicker response.

I was never 100% happy though until I got my Steeda bumpstops. I didn't realize it at first but I was riding on the bumpstops very frequently. Cutting the factory bumpstops made it much better but it wasn't enough. I got the Steeda bumpstops and now I'm even more amazed with the ride quality and performance. I would recommend those bumpstops for anyone with a lowered car.

Well I'm primarily a spirited DD but I occasionally take my car through the mountains of north GA. My car is a manual so I yank it around a good bit. I don't want anything overly bumpy. I bought the fixed steeda shocks because I read good things and they were a great price. Ultimately I'm looking for something to pair with those. I know it's silly not to go with steeda in the first place for springs, but a lot of reviews mentioned that they were "a little too bumpy." That coupled with my prior experience with h&r are why I went with their sport springs. They're progressive for DD but idk that that would be advantageous in the mountains. Eco base springs, all new mustangs, are linear from what I have read? Again input on h&r would be appreciated.

Well I can't provide input on H&R because I never tried them but I lived north of Atlanta both in Kennesaw and near Lake Lanier and now living in the mountains in MD near WV and PA and I can tell you for sure the Steeda Progressive springs are great for the environment. As I mentioned the only change I would make is if I were going to track the car.

pm your contact info and we will get the bouncy ride corrected.

Thanks,

I have the Steeda sport springs and they work great. I love the way it handles and compliments I get on the lowered look!
