sorry for the redundancy of this, but what is everyones final answer on springs and why??

i have the sprints, but have narrowed my options down to eibach or spy. i like the eibach springs because i feel they will lower my XB evenly, but at the same time, im nervous it might look to high going from a 2 inch drop (i know, im crazy).

i have 18" rims with 35 series tires BTW.

the spys actually make a big differance. between sprints and spys's, id say spy all the way. they were around 140 or so with shipping.

the only place that sells spy is spy engineering and they are $219 plus shipping. derek doesn't want to degrade his product by blowing it out like all the other companies are doing. he has the best springs, and that is not a bad price for a quality product in my opinion.

yeah..$219 is a great price...but if i can get it cheaper..it'll be great. And why wouldn't SPY want to expand its distribution? more outlet...more sales...increase profitability...volume based rather than individual sale based. In addition, it gets their name out in the public...mainstream. I never heard of SPY until i joined this forum... furthermore, if its great springs..ppl will flock to it regardless of price. Just like with the xB...great value vehicle...

and selling it cheaper does not mean its degrading...i think it increase ppl's respect and create competition among it rivals.

just a thought.

ppl were selling the SPY springs for $180 online i think.

I have a prototype set of the Goldline Racing 2" springs on my Xb. I commute 55 miles each way everyday and my wife sleeps both ways. The first day we put the springs on, the first thing she said is that the ride was ALOT better than the stock springs!The Goldline springs will be available in about 4 weeks. We'll put it up on our website when they become available.
