Springs???

Sorry I've been posting alot of topics lately but I finally got a little money to spend so I'm gonna

Question is...are Arospeed Springs any good?? I found a site that sells them for our cars for only $99. I know arospeed makes pretty good other products ( as shown by designmanfx, he's on the EVO forum all the time, his car is the **** ). And also, the drop on them is 1.8", do I need a camber kit or is that ride height ok for my tires. Thanks to all those that help

Adam

OZcar- I got my wing from www.ceriousperformance.com Good price and pretty good quality. If you go on their site you'll see a link for it on their first page. Click on it and it'll send you to the pirce and another pic.


Back to the subject though, If I went with TEIN springs, would I have to use a camber kit??? I'm not exactly sure what the drop is, if someone could help me out it would be great. If some one that has these springs could also reply it would be great

to tell you the truth for the luxury master you probably wont. however if you were to go with the s. tech i would definately invest in a camber kit. i use to have my old integra slammed 2 inches, and after 1 spring/summer my tires were gone! we're talking normal driving...... work, home, and going out on weekends. hope that helps.

edit.... wanted to add this. remember if you slam your car too low, you WILL blow your shocks within 2-3months, and eat up your tires like crazy. remember i said "slam", i'm not talking about a reasonable drop. also another thing, if you go more than a 1.6ish inch drop, the ride will be a lot harder just remember that. i myself will be buying the luxury master.

How much are the luxury master TEIN springs and where are you getting yours from?? I'll probably go that route also just becasue I don't want to worry about shocks and my tires. Thanks man for all the info

I found this site but it seems to only sell the s. tech...anyways it says that the springs only lower the car 1.4" in the front which would still be ok on the shocks and probably wouldn't have to get a camber kit. The price is pretty good too...$149. I having trouble finding a site that sells the luxury master series. If you do could you post it or PM me. Thanks alot

^ hmmmmm weird. i have the tein 2004 catalog sitting right here in front of me. it says the s. tech 1.8 front 1.1 rear. i doubt they made a mistake. it says the luxury master is for an "attractive apperance", while the s. tech is for the "aggresive look".

The site is--- http://***************.com/index_main2.html ...if you want to check it out...I'm going to go with what you say since you have the catalog but it's weird that every place says different things

I hate when places don't get their **** right Oh well, I'll go with what you say but if you do find a site that sells the luxury master let me know

Thanks

Adam
