Did a search couldnt find an answer that quickly and i dont have allot of time. So real quick what springs should i buy? Have a 100% stock 04 Evo

Eibach Pro Kit
megan racing Lowering springs
Tanabe GF210 Springs
Tein Tech Springs?

Eibach are the most expensive and the Megan's are the cheapest. But i wanna know which one is best

 

swifts

 

where does one buy swifts... extremepsi doesnt seem to carry them

 

We carry Swift and we make our own GTWorx springs.

I would avoid almost all of those springs listed....they are pure "style" springs and lower the car far too much for good handling and ride quality.

Swift sprigs handle great and don't lower your car too much.

 

Swifts!!!! :d wee!!!

 

Swift or GTworx. /end thread.

You may want to have a look at Works springs, too.

 

I would strongly disagree with the vendor who says the Tanabe GF210's are only for looks. Untrue. They are reported to be 25% higher in the spring compression rate. I can't give you a number on this, but I can tell you they are much stiffer than stock and work very well on my 05' GSR. However, I bet they would be too stiff to work well on an MR with Bilsteins. I have had mine for three years and they work well on the street and the track. I understand that Works has a spring that is even stiffer and this would be nice for track work which is somenthing I would like to try. However, I don't mind a real hard ride which may not be something you can tolerate. Also, would a rate that is 10% stiffer than what I have overpower the stock shocks. Maybe.

 

^ edited. tanabes do have a solid bump in spring rate. but i still think any spring that lowers more than an inch is making compromises for looks.

I ended up going with the eibach pro springs. I just hope these hold me over till i buy my coilover's next summer!

 

have a set of swifts awaiting my new wheels to put them on! can't wait

 

Yep... most on the OP's list are utter trash (less a show only car). Really not interested in who's offended/butt hurt about their purchase. Bout all in that list will DECREASE the handling of the car. Had to pull a lot of those off. People who have them may PERCEIVE that they have increased the performance, but not so at all. Answers as to why have been hashed, rehashed, and hashed again.

My favorites for a daily driver are the GTWrox... so much so I run them myself even though I could run about any spring/coilover I want. 2nd pick would be Swifts... ride height motivated.

 

Damn, I just noticed you already got something else. Should have gotten with Andrew over at GTWrox.

 

I bought my car with Tanabe's already installed. I honestly thought they were going to kill me. My previous Evo had Swifts. It's night and day.

I have RobiSpec's now and I like them. It's had to tell which is better between Swifts and RobiSpec's but I like them both alot. Swifts look a little better, but RobiSpec's are alot cheaper and as far as performance goes, they feel (on the street) nearly the same. The Tanabe's, seriously, I thought I was going to die.

Stay away from any of the springs you listed as previously mentioned.

Edit: I too just noticed you already made up your mind, whoops. I would have just kept the stock suspension until you could afford the coil-overs you want.
