spring suggestions?

[zaklax13]

so far ive found B&G s2, H&R, and eibach lowering springs. plan to combined with kyb gas shocks. any feedback for these? which have best ride quality? baest apperance?

[AveoJoe]

I have Eibach on mine. No kyb shocks thinking they will just leak out as oe did.

As far as I heard, Eibach has the harder sportier ride less comfort, HR and BG have a more comfortable compliant ride with less stifness. I'm going with Eibach cose I want the best handling possible with my low pro tires... As far as the KYB should be at least better than the OEM units.

Aftermarket Barina dampners might be worth a look. Even stock springs/shocks on the sportiest Barina would be an improvement. I wouldn't recommend the stiffest springs with your low-pros unless ground clearance is an issue. Otherwise with the stiffer/lower sidewalls you'd want at least a little compliance to follow irregularities in the road rather than simply washboard over them and lose grip.

Cool, thnks for the imfo... I just heard that about the Eibach, I'm so sick of the stock soft spring, I worry about putting the other brands and end up with a car that still too soft... I got 205/40r17 on it, may go with 45' next but not any higher.

That is quite a reduction even from the so-called performance or plus 1 combination for the Aveo at 15" by 195/55 combination. Part of your "suspension" is tire compliance and 40's, even 45's, are rubber bands. Very little give. It would be useful to know if your corner weight ( wheel/tire ) combo is heavier than stock and what the listed compression/rebound rates are for the springs in question you are considering.`

where is the best place to buy the eibach springs from? ebay?

and another thing

all i need to lower my car is just those springs right? i dont need any other parts?

[thehunterooo]

just cut your springs YO

[Avezoh]

Don't cut your springs. Get decent ones with the proper engineering and the ride height you want. H&R would probably be your best bet with a ride that preserves the best feature of the stock unmodified springs, very good ride in class.

In fact, my plan is to get H&R's .25-.75" height reduction stock replacements along with slightly shorter aftermarket shocks for atotal drop ( including 1/3" drop from a lower profile tire/wheel +1 package ) for a total drop in the range of 1.06- 1.56".
