If you want the best performance out of your springs, you are going to need matching shocks and struts. You can do w/o them but the ride is going to suck and the handling is going to suck. Aftermarket springs are stiffer and lower than stock, so stock shocks and struts just don't work well w/ both of those combos. As for C&C plates, it's hit or miss.

If i weren't buying new shocks/struts i wouldn't go with a super sport level spring. Sport level will be fine but like bassman said, your handling and ride quality will suck ass.

Man if you wanna start cutting corners don't get the H&Rs, it's likely that you will need c/c plates and you will need new dampers. You need to get dampers that match your choosen springs anyway, but the super sports will probably make your butt sore like your first night in prison without the right dampers. I like the H&R SS springs but you'd need the other hardware to go with it.

i have the super sports and love them and got the tokico blues and so far they have worked pretty good.

One question, how much more of a drop would i get with the sportlines for the v6? And how much stiffer would it be?
I think the stance of the sportlines is fucking sick



Sorry v6power for possibly highjacking your thread
