I've grown tired of the body roll in my stock suspension so I've decided to get some bilstein shocks + struts (next payday) The question is what springs to get.
I've been looking at H&R, Eibach and Steeda. They both offer a spring with about 1.5in drop which is about the max that I think I can get away with, Steeda having the least drop.
I've been saving a few pennies so I'll be doing MM C&C plates and subframes at the same time. Are those Kenne Brown subframes worth the $$$?
A friend of mine is getting an Infinity G35 soon, will these mods let me hang in the handling department?
I have a CAI, B&M shifter, catback on the way and 3.73s can I take him in a straight line?

What about the Bullitt springs? About an inch drop, and handle great. I had them on my Mustang before I went drag crazy.

The Eibach Pro-Kit along with sway bars attached was as stiff as a teenager's wood after see up his teachers dress for the first time. The car was actually fun to hit the quick corners. Been a long time, but sorta miss it.

Your not ready yet,, Take that $ and do your self a big favor spend it on something useful like a driving school. After that you should be able to tell for your self which suspension mods would fit your driving style. SRY for being blunt but IM being truefull with you.

Well said. :thumb:
The single best way that you can improve the handling of your car is to tighten up the loose nut behind the steering wheel.
Where are you located? There are quite a few good driving schools around the country, but your location is an important part in recommending one.

As much as I would love to attend one of those driving courses, I do have a job, you know, 9-5 etc. I'm actually pretty sure what I want as far as handling goes, my friend had a TB Supercoupe with some sportlines in it, sway bars and urethane bushings, handled like a dream. I want that, but without the speed bump scraping drop of 2in sportlines(he had an IRS too though).
I am in southwest Houston just in case you have any suggestions though. Thanks for being honest!
Where can I find a set of Bullitt springs? Those sound like they could work.
