Default Susension poll three choise help decide.

I am looking to upgrade my suspension but its hard to make a decision without actually trying out the product first so instead ill ask some ppl to see what theythink of their setups. Also this isnt just for the car now the car will be turboed soon and Id like to have suspension to keep up with it. Ideally Id like something that can handle as good as an evo or sti and similar in harshness. [/list]

I voted Tanabe because they're much better for daily driving. And with that and the addition of that progress sway bar, you'll easily feel like an Evo/STi.

Definately the best option.

Any idea if hotchkis sway bars will cause rubbing issues with these bars like with teins? Most likely no one had this on with hotchkis but any speculation as to how this might work out? Also what exactly does the helper spring do?

i voted for the tanabes, i believe they are the best overall in comfort and performance. and get the helper spring. its good to have.

and i woud definitely go with the progress over the hotchkis. i've driven a handful of cars and they have the hotchkis bars in them, and they are too stiff. the car doesnt roll, and corner entry can not be taken at a higher speed than my progress sway bar in my car

im not here to start a debate, just to put my 2cents

no rubbing issue with trds i think the issue is only with tein. Wondering if its with the tanabes too. Hm well Ill consider the bar but i really feel like iam only doing a half job without changing the front bar. Well obviously the helper spring is good but what in the world does it do?

So anyone got answer to my two questions Id really appreciate it(while iam still considering the progress bar, I just want to know if the hotchkis would rub?) and 2 what does the helper spring do, I am not going to get something without considering if it does something that iam willing to shell out 200 bucks for.
