QUOTE (trdproven @ Jun 27, 2012 - 11:49 PM)  normally, you would go for certain products if it were the ONLY option but in this case, 6gcs have no problem with aftermarket lowering support between coilovers and springs. If coilovers weren't so expensive, I'd consider it. But a full set of coilovers right now would cost me more than the car itself. QUOTE (RabidTRD @ Jun 28, 2012 - 4:46 PM) To answer your question, that many dead springs = annoying noise that happens after about 2000 miles when the "coating" on the outside starts to wear down and the spring starts rattling together. That spring will also most likely sag more because it seems that they are using less tension than say, Eibach's.  Thanks. Is there any particular reason that design would be chosen over most other springs who use the same design? I imagine price wouldn't be the reason as a lot more material would be needed to manufacture them.
