who sells a set of stiffer race type springs? not just a lowering spring or progressive rate spring like eibach.

If you live in SoCal it is possible to take your JIC coilovers to Ziel in Downey and they can redo it to your custom spec...if you just want springs however, I didn't know they made custom rate springs that don't lower or arent progressive etc., If someone makes it...people should be all over it. keep stock ride height & not have to worry about scraping but at the same time have coiloverish spring rates...OOOO

what do you mean by stiffer race spring, not eibach...? if you are looking for coiover springs eibach is one of the best. ERS springs come in just about every length and rate imaginable. This link (https://secure.vbcomm.net/store/searchresults.asp) will help you find what you may need. &nbsp; &nbsp;search eibach

hope that helps!

the reason i say not eibach is b/c they are progressive (the off the shelf kits anyway)

true you might not be scrapping but there is also an aerodynamic feature of a lower ride....
also... if u can get a stiff spring and lower it (usually equals less body roll)..... then u would be better than a high stiff spring

Yeah I know about the aerodynamics etc., etc.,

I was just saying it'd be cool to have something like that. How much do Zeal B6's run for 89-93 240s? I can't seem to find a site that sells them nor does www.endlessusa.com work. I keep a medium ride height for a balance between aerodynamics and body roll compensation. Oh another thing about the Zeals...do they only come in 12/9 spring settings? That'd be a bit harsh for LA roads..the FLT-A2 on setting 9 of 15 w/ a 8/6 springrate accompained by cusco sway bars was near murder...but ultimate suspension for mountain carving.

You can always ask your local import car shop to import a set of KGMM springs. I cotacted www.shinestreet.com and bought myself a set of KGMM S21 SuperSports for my '97. It was like 330 because I chose airmail. Rowboat would have gotten my the springs for like 220, but then I'd have to wait 3-4 weeks. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':laugh:'>
