Anyone heard of Spring Tech lowering springs?

[Triton]

I just stumled across a company called Suspension Max. They sell these springs called Spring Tech. They show a 1.75" drop for the Vibe. I have never heard of them before. But then again, before GenVibe, I never heard of Tein either.Hotchkis sprins are running around $150 on special. Eibachs are around $225. Tein's are about $140. These Spring Tech's are $130 with shipping. What do you think?

do you mind the "bouncy" feeling

[Triton]

The ride was not really that bouncy. It was a little bit more than stock, but it handled beautifully when I drove CaCathy's Vibe. Worth it to me. And it really wasn't too low that you couldn't drive it in the winter.

I said that because some springs are more bouncy than others. All depends on the maker

I see there is a set on ebay for $100. think they are any good? sure wish i knew. I would "buy it now" if they are worth it.

I would stay with name brand springs for quality and performance. Hotchkis will make your car handle with a firmer ride. Eibach Pro will give a better ride but not handle as well.

thanks for the info

Very similar to Sprint springs in rate and height. Don't know about the quality. Poorly designed springs can settle and reduce the ride height even more. The 1.75" drop on these is getting down to where shocks may go prematurely. Shocks cost lots more than springs. Eibach Pro-Kits can be had for about $210 shipped from Adventon.com.

The drop on my Hotchkis springs are more than advertised. Claimed front 1 1/2, Actual 2". Rear-1 1/4, actual more than 1 1/2. Handles great but the ride may be to firm for some.
