View Full Version : Available Springs and Shocks
Ok guys, list what\'s out there. The only one I\'ve seen is the Mazdaspeed springs and struts from Japan. And as we all know, that\'ll cost an arm and 2 legs.

Do you have to go over speed bumps and small curbs (ie. into a driveway) at an angle? How much lower is your car? 1.5\"?

Speaking of which, did Fabian lower his car? I just remember him taking those speed bumps at an angle at the second meet.

about 1.5 (maybe more?) in the front...about 1 in the back
the front\'s really low...there\'s only about 1cm gap between the wheel and the fender
bumps and slopes (e.g. underground garages) are fine...and I\'ve only scraped once going off a steep driveway...

It looks like a half inch drop (?)

hey autoexe where did u get your springs and how much?
www.boomplustoys.net...about $600
I don\'t think they\'re really worth the price and wait (took over a month to come in from Japan) now that the H&R springs are availble (didn\'t like Progress or Eibach). Don\'t get me wrong, they\'re great, but they\'re expensive and take forever to come from Japan. Also, I wish the back sat lower.
$600 for just the springs? including installation? What about shocks?
That\'s expensive for just the springs.

I believe the AutoExe springs are imported from Japan. Eibach and H&R springs are more readily available and can be had for about $500, I don\'t remember if that was the installed price though.
As with most AutoExe products, they\'re very very expensive. The $600 is for the springs only (well with shipping and customs charges too) and doesn\'t include installation...I got them installed at SpeedStarsAuto in Scarborough for $170.
I\'ve always wanted the rest of the AutoExe products - the kit, the intake, the exhaust...but that\'ll run at least $5000-6000. Not really worth it for a car of this price.
I\'d get the H&R springs. They should run about $500 installed. Or, if you want it really low apparently Eibach Sportline (lowers 1.8\", different from Pro Kit) will be available soon.
