What are the best aftermarket springs for an 88 gxl. I need them to go with my kyb agx shocks. I'm leaning towards eibach or suspension techniques.

either one of those is a good choice.

ST are good. That's what I have and what I recommend.

What I was concerned about is the ST are only 120 lb/inch front and rear linear while the Eibachs are progressive and 70/185 lb/inch front and 85/165 lb/inch rear. The equal rates of the ST springs look like they would make the car oversteer more, or at least reduce understeer, which I hate. Stock rates are 90/95 front/back. I don't like the idea of the softer initial rate than stock.

hmm, how about racing beat? 130f and 80r ?

Do you guys know the rates of intrax and apex? The new car came with intrax aqnd I still have apex from my old one. Which one do you guys recommend I use?



Thanks

The RB springs are pretty good.

I like the eibachs, they are easier on my kidneys https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png

I like a stiff suspension, so I don't mind.

I like my ST springs. Gotta slow turning onto some of the streets in my neighborhood so I don't scrape though.
