Default Lowering Springs!

Hi,

I've got myself sum Tein S-Tech Springs on my car and I don't like them cause of the roads here are horrible. Every bump is like a pain for me. The car is like a bouncing ball and I can't take it anymore.

I like how much it's lowered but can you tell me if I can get good springs that are not that stiff and bouncy and lower the car as close to what the Tein S do? Maybe the H-Tech?

Before:



After:





And ofcourse I wan't to show you where I think my licenseplate mounted very nicely!


Right infront of the Intercooler. I don't think this will effect the cooling much but if you think so, please share.

Id personally go back to stock or **** with mopar personally. I love my stock ride height I wouldnt change it for the world. I like ride comfort rather than a really lowered uncomfortable car. The car handles well stock why mess with it personally.

I like lowered. Looks nice. Of course - your last pic makes the car look like it's stuck in the muck ;-)

I saw an interesting idea for the license plate - drill small holes in it... so air will flow through it... not sure if it actually works or makes anything better... but... thought it was interesting...

once you set the suspension up correctly - you realize that stock is lame... what's the budget??? Coilovers are nice

you're going to have a hard time getting a set of springs with a good ride. i hear that the mopar s1 springs are pretty good, never tried them myself so i can't really comment. co's are really your best bet if you want something that rides nice and is lower.

There must be something in the same price-range of Tein S that's not so horrible. My Price range is around the same price as is on the Tein S maybe a little more. Ofcourse I have to pay twice as much for my stuff because of the import cost.

My buddy has the Stage 1 springs and he swears by them. Says they are even better than the stock springs and they lower you about 1" in the front and rear. Also I've heard nothing but good things about the Eibach Pro-kit.

Just make sure that if you go the spring route that you get a set that have a variable spring rate (different distances between the coils in the middle than at the ends). You won't regret it!
