Question 04 Neon SE lowering springs problem

i was wondering what lowering spring company or lowering combo would be the best ride for comfort like factory. i had a cheap set of springs off ebay and it felt like every bump i hit was a damn pothole, or worse. i know i cant get a comfortable ride exactly like my stock springs, but something close. i heard eibach was the best for the buck, quality wise and price wise. please let me know what you think.

Thanks Jeff

well for a springs/strut combo. most people go with tokico hp blues and either eibach sportline lowering springs or the eibach pro kit lowering springs.
thatll give you the best buy for your buck. tokicos run about $270 depends where u get them at and springs run another $210 also depends where u buy them from.

hope this helps.

if u need anymore info let me know.

personally, ive bought tons of lowerin coils, cheap and high dollar for my neons and S10s, and its always a rough ride... reason bein is yeah they are lowering the vehicle down, but they still have to be stiff enough to keep you from bottoming out every bump... I dont think youll ever get around this problem... sorry

i just bought some eibach for mine after having some aftermarket cheap ones and i have to say its a really big difference smoother ride you dont feel the bumps as much. btw in that pic that i have posted its before i got my lowering springs its alot lower now lol

Eibach
Tokico
Ground Control
KYB
TEIN
i would go with any one of these.Eibach is definitaly a crowd favorite and a great buy but if you go cheaper with brands like Megan or Skunk2 then it wont be as good.
