Default Hey jussnb - Ever get word on what the suspension group buy from SPP will be?

Default I'm still waiting to hear back from Eric. He was running a one-day only wheel sale yesterday and...

he's been really busy. I'm dying to see the numbers, too. I'll give him another call today, and I'll post up as soon as I get the info.

What are you interested in?

Seriously, would you be OK with H&R springs? It's looking like the masses are demanding H&R stuff.

Doesn't the HR not drop the height as much as the Eibach?

Default I want a fixed-height setup...

so the H&R sports and bilsteins are looking good (that was a choice, right?). I can't really justify the ~$1200 for the H&R coilovers that so many people were asking for.

BTW, he's already running a special on the H&R coilovers on his front page.

I look forward to hearing from ya!

Default I don't think that the H&R sport springs are quite as low as the ProKit - maybe a tenth of an inch..

difference, maybe a little more.

The H&R race springs are going to be lower than the ProKit, and have the same spring rate as the H&R Sport springs. In essence, they offer the same feel, but they make the car sit lower.

Default I would also prefer the Eibach's in a fixed height setup...

It seems to me, but I could be wrong, that the drop for the MY2000 with H&R sports isn't as low as for the MY97-99.5's. This is what I've noticed in observation and by looking at the numbers on SPP's site. I'd rather get the Eibach's. If you go with the H&R's, I'll wait to see what the APR springs cost or just go with tehe Eibach's
