suspension question
from what i remember h&r sport springs and bilstein sport shocks are close to the stock suspension ride feel right?
i see that a set of h&r sport springs are $229.95 from awe-tuning. is there any other place to get h&r spring less than $229.95? since i'm gettin new rims and tires, if i buy just the spring for now and buy the shocks later (when i get money) hows the ride wit just the springs?
is the grooved front struts and rear grooved shocks only $25 for each pair? or is it plus $25 for each pair with the $449.95 shock set? how hard is it to change the grooved struts/shocks on the car?
tia,

Yes, probably, depends, dunno, and not really possible.
Yes, it's a relatively soft aftermarket set up, but definitely quite a bit firmer than non-sport.
You can probably get it cheaper, but I doubt you'll find it much cheaper.
Ride with just new springs depends on the mileage on your existing shocks, and whether you have sport shocks. I would say, if you have sport shocks with less than 50K, it'll work temporarily. In one year (probably less) you'll notice the ride becoming bouncy...then it's time to put new shocks in. You'll be paying for labor twice if you go this route.
No idea on grooved pricing. No, you can't really adjust the height while the suspension is on the car. You have to disassemble everything in order to adjust the height.

you can find the springs used for ~$175, check ebay and the classifieds.
Pure MS has good prices on suspension, and they know their stuff.
The ride will be pleasant with stock sport shocks and H&R Sport springs. Not much different from stock sport suspension actually, and not much lower either.
