Don't know if thats true or not.. If not, correct me. I also planned on buying Tokico premium shocks..is this a good combo?.. Would a coil over kit be worth the extra money?.. I mean i don't think id need to adjust my ride height at all.. Does sound kinda cool though. I do plan on doing more with the suspension, but for now all i can afford are springs and shocks.<br /><br />Ive been looking around for good dealers, and was wondering if anyone knew of some reaally good online dealers..? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>lowerd96</b> <br /><small>Member # 515</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,5,3,15,20,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> you can buy the stuff directly from maximummotorsports.com....or they have a dealer list...I don't know if you can find it cheaper else where...but check it out.<br /><a href="http://www.maximummotorsports.com/dealer.html" target="_blank">http://www.maximummotorsports.com/dealer.html</a> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>WildStang</b> <br /><small>Member # 905</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,5,3,15,29,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> max motorsports goes with H&R springs, which are a very good racing spring but don't lower the car much.

Ride quality is surprisingly good (but firm) and car looks awesome. However, the drop is too just too much for my driveway (bottomed-out after they settled) and you can just forget about doing speed bumps, my X-pipe cats only have just under 3" of clearance. <br /><br />The H&R Sports springs do drop your car a lot more then they say they will. I've heard that the Steeda's ride slightly better then the Eibach's - & I just ordered a set of the Steeda sport springs with the upgraded (spec Cobra 2000R) springs for the rear. <br /><br />Anyway, just didn't want you to get the impression that the H&R's sports don't drop much - they do. The H&R race springs are just the opposite though - not much drop for the buck. Your better off with the Eibach or Steedas for that modest drop of 1 1/4 to 1 1/2". <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>HungryHippo</b> <br /><small>Member # 537</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,5,3,19,35,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> i think houston performance has the best prices on MM stuff <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Greenandsilver</b> <br /><small>Member # 1371</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,5,3,21,42,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by HungryHippo:<br /><strong>i think houston performance has the best prices on MM stuff</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Better prices than the MM site it'self? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>88gt</b> <br /><small>Member # 579</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,5,3,22,50,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> you might want to try <a href="http://www.fordspeed.com" target="_blank">www.fordspeed.com</a> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>TruBlueGT02</b> <br /><small>Member # 1205</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,5,4,10,42,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> went and got a quote from shox.com<br /><br />they have some very nice prices..so i think ill stick with them.. now it just a matter of if im going to get some koni adjustables, tokico illumini's.. or juss tokico's.. depends on how cheap i wanna be ;-) <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>lowerd96</b> <br /><small>Member # 515</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,5,4,11,2,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> You should spend the extra $$$ and go with the coilovers.
