I paid $100 for the springs, brand new.

It was an overstock deal. I don't think they have anymore. They went pretty fast.

Love bringing up these old threads. How do you like the springs a year later? still feel good? is the ride any stiffer than stock?

thanks

holy ****, its been nearly a year already?!

Well then... they are still riding pretty good. I attribute my rough ride to my complete poly suspension, not my springs. They still sit a little too high for my taste. They really haven't settled anymore than those pics either. I say they were totally worth the price though..

Yep... .still too high, I think I want some sportlines now

Yeah I agree, it'd be nice to have it just a bit lower, looking good though.

sonar_un, if you want to get them tokico's out of your way when you switch to sportlines, I might be interested in working out a deal. drop me a pm if you do.

Nice car btw, I love that color on the TA, makes it stand out from the crowd. Are those 4th gen Trans Am emblems on the doors?

well you could always cut a coil off each end . But if you go through all the work to do the front i say then get the sportlines.

yep..



Anyway, whenever I get enough disposable money together to buy sportlines, chances are I will change the shocks at the same time. I will dump these KYB's and go for some bilstein HD's or Koni's.
