Heres the deal, Im looking into getting some lowering springs and I was told by a couple guys to go with the Tein s tech springs, but I get up here and I see people with Ksports, Goldlines, and Espiler. I was just wondering which are the better springs. I dont want my car to be slammed to the ground and I still want the car to handle because I want to build the car up sort of like the time attack cars. So what springs can I count on and not have to deal with issues such as rubbing or weird noises? Oh and its for the MSP.

if you want great handling keep the stock setup, or go with coilovers

I had Tein S-Techs and i didnt like them.
Get Ground Control Coilovers you will be happy or save your money
and spend it on K-Sports or BC Racing Coilovers.
Good Luck...

It's all personal preference. Do some research (AKA, use the search button!) and choose based on what you want out of the springs.

Come on JDM you know you want coilovers. Buy it once and get it over with. Don't buy lowering springs then get rid of them cause you wanted coilovers to begin with.

Thanks man. I know what you mean about the money. Everytime I have the money for more upgrades something else comes up that is more important.

i got ground control's for like $350 through my friend. He races and has his own website www.teamxxxracing.com if you're interested. springs are fine but they never fall exactly how you want them to.

by the way he's the administrator, his name is rob, races a turbo rsx type s in the low 12's.

I appreciate everyones input and it looks like I may just end up saving my money and getting coilovers. I want to do it right the first time and not have to keep going back because I dont like the end result. I guess I have to spend more money. Stupid car:D

I like the way your car sits with the coilovers. By the way I saw you the other day on Holland rd. I was going to Coolstuff and you drove past. I was also out there today and I saw a spicy speed drive by.

I was just curious to what your setup is. Not saying that I am going to copy you. Your car happens to have a nice stance.

I thought that was you. Let me know the next time your going to be in the area. Maybe we can go get a bite to eat.

ive had the ebiach springs(not sportlines), tien s tech, and falken(currently installed) and the ride on the falkens has been the best for me. Love the handling and the comfort.
