[Mk2] [NA] BEST SPRINGS AND BEST DROP

I have apex springs. They lowered my car a nice amount and made it slightly stiffer! great for the money

Tron.... don't buy before you try. Get yourself along to some meets and try some different set ups before you commit. You don't want to turn a daily driver into something you don't want to use....
R.
PS. Also don't expect the same drop as advertised... most measure from the standard rev1 ride height which is higher than the later cars plus you've probably got some sagging now on the old standard springs.

Any idea where you can get hold of Eibach Pro lines springs? I have been trying to get hold of a set for sometime but can't find any stockists!

Hi Peter I dropped Dan an e-mail as you suggested he replied stating that the Eibach Pro springs have been discontinued for the Mk2 MR2's. However they still appear to be available from the US but with a pretty hefty price tag for delivery!

This sucks! I saw them and seriously considered getting some at the price!
Re: [Mk2] [NA] BEST SPRINGS AND BEST DROP
Has anyone got experience of the H&R springs?
