Xmas questions.

I am asking for springs for xmas. I know alot of people are just gonna say, save up for coil overs. Don't really want coils at the moment. What are the best springs to go with stock shocks. I want something that's gonna be lower but not slammed, maybe with above the tires. Also they are gonna be on stock rims. Please let me know what you think, also pics would be great.

Also I Have a 05 mt and I know they have a bigger RSB compared to the AT TSX. Is it worth it to up grade to the after market RSB even know its only a one or two MM difference. Please let me know what you think? Thanks again

You don't have to worry about being slammed on any of the springs, none of them go that low. Eibachs give a pretty good drop though imo.

I agree, find some good used springs & go from there.


I don't believe the manual trans cars have a different suspension nor nor different rear sway bar than the auto trans cars.

For my 2006 m/t, the stock OEM sway bars are F 25mm, R 15mm. The numbers are stamped right into the rubber bushings.

Crawl under your car and have a look.

I upgraded to the Progress 22mm rear sway bar & polyurethane front sway bar bushings. Highly recommended even for a daily driver.

H&R OE's may be a good choice if you insist on keeping your stock dampers...

Tein S TECH? And yes if you get an aftermarket RSB, you can adjust the stifness, you can't do that with the stock one.

Wow the S-Tech look very very sexy. How does it drive? How much camber if not any?

Also would you guys get the comptech rear swaybar 22mm or progress group suspension Swaybar

Both on Heeltoeauto.com

thanks for input once again!
