My car looks cool but funny with the mooncraft HT and the factory truck ride hight, so it's time to lower the car. I want to drop it about an inch. I'll be keeping the factory shocks for a short while, until I upgrade to Koni Yellow's down the road. What springs are going to work with both sets of shocks, and still give me the 1" drop?
I know there's scattered spring threads all over this forum...I'd just like to see a few good responses in here with multiple spring manufacturers in case I'm not the only one with this question
I know I'm planning on going with Swift Springs, from what I've read and a few pics I've seen they give a nice modest drop and don't really compromise the ride quality.
Heard a lot about Espelir's also but saw a thread or two in which a few people thought they went too low. And Eibach's seem to make a lot of people happy too. Those are the 3 names I see popping up a lot. I guess it all depends on what your looking for. Hope that helps.
i will be selling my swifts springs after 3k miles.. they are the safest drop for oem shocks. 1" rear, 0.8" front. made from some light weight space age material.
i just want to upgrade to coilovers
PM me if your interested
I have been on Swifts for a couple of years now and love em. My car is dropped right around an inch and has an even 2 finger gap front and rear.
My stock shocks blew out 15K miles after I installed the shocks. I would recommend going ahead and getting Konis or an equivalent to save yourself the hassle/expense of removing the spring assembly twice.
I had Tein S-techs for a while and they worked just fine . They were paired with the OEM shocks which I am sure would have worn out faster than normal, but the ride was not too much stiffer than with the factory parts and they did help eliminate some of the body roll while cornering.
