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.



mike

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 ?



mike

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.

intrax has really good stiff suspension, thats what i have https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png , and people tell me how they love my suspension because of how solid it is



rb is pretty good though

i'm running 420# and 220# springs and its still soft



mike

Problem is unless I went with coilovers, I won't be able to get a custom spring rate like that.

or am I wrong here?

no thats right, unless you can find some springs off of another car that fit



mike

Racing Beat is expensive. I get a better discount on the Eibach. I'll probably just get them.

btw, I run 550/450 in my 3rd gen and its pretty stiff, might go stiffer though.

dr ho has 450/400 on his fd and is a lot better



mike

better than what?

than the 550-450



mike

Na not for the track. The 550/450 is a very good street/track compromise. I plan to move up to 650/550 in the future. Keep in mind that I run the M2/AD suspension which is very well dampened. It is stiffer but rides alot better than alot of other cars I've been in.

racing beat springz

suspension technics are good for street use but i dont think u can drive too hard with those.

I ordered the eibachs. Got a good deal on them.

hey silve ninety three why are you asking us fc guys what kinda springs u can use on ure fd? i dont know enough for my car lol. I know racing beat has a suspension package for the fc do they also have it for the fd. If they do just get that

i think those will be good for ya



mike

They are for my fc silly https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

where's carl? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

Yeah, but 99.99999% of the people here will only use them for the street anyway. For racing coilovers with cutom rates is better.

It's for his '88 GXL. Note how it says "88 maroon gxl daily beater" in his signature thingy.

oh i just looked at ure sig and it said 93 , oops my bad homie g, i didnt continue reading. ya see thats the problem with kidz these days they do everything half assed lol.
