With the stage 1 springs my car still rides just like stock...my buddy likes his Tein H-techs but he says the ride is bumpier than stock. I simply went with the stage 1 springs because I couldn't afford new struts, and according to MPSC and most of everyone else I've talked to say the stage 1 springs work well with stock struts. Of course I guess every car may react different to any springs. I don't know about other springs, but I did order a rear camber kit, and the tire shop today where I had my alignment said the rear camber kit was a definite necessity with the positive camber my rears had after installing the springs.

Yeah it's true, S1 springs ride like stock in normal driving, only showing a tad harshness on the biggest bumps.

any side shots


$$$. Don't have enough. Lookin' into these though.

Wadda ya think? Wedssport TC-005 grey in 18"

Side shots.......asap

18s looks great... i have 18" ADR fuels that color match perfect but the ride is a little rougher aside from the bounce

so its up to you between the bouncy ride -or- having both bouncy and rougher ride (i'm referring to your sportlines)

EDIT: i live in florida and we have shitty roads then again there are areas where the ride is as smooth as most luxury cars

Goldlines - 1.5 drop with stock struts

ADR - 18" Fuels


MY bike (any bike in general) rides rougher and I want to be able to relax in the srt and not have to worry about road conditions all the time


With C/F hood-->

EDIT:stop PMing me about the hood and bike.....IPP C/F hood ..and yes its my bike (only 2005 GSX-R 600)

The goldlines are nice, little bumpy on harsh roads. The Sportlines ride like a tank. The S-techs are an inbetween. The H-techs are slightly better than the S but not as soft as the goldline. Same situation as the Hotchkis.

Soft to Stiff (which by coincidence is the same as hieght aswell):

1. Stage 1 Springs
Goldline
2. Progress
Hotchkis
H-Techs
3. S-Techs
Prokit
4.Sportlines

This has been my personal experience.

Thats going to be helpful for alot of members that cant go through suspension or that dont know other local srt owners and to go for a ride and feel what its like with diiferent set-ups...

i've driven about 4-5 different srts (all with stock struts) and only three bands ... stage1, tein s-techs, eibach prokit...i went with goldlines because they are simular to stock and imo are just a little lower than stg1 springs

now all of the springs you experienced ..did they have upgraded struts or stock?
