Dear Bros,
I am intending to change my springs.
Which brand is recommended. I saw Eibach ($580), Apex ( $380) but no stock. Any others that can be used? I would like those with progressive springs and not normal types.
Thanks!

Lower and stiffer...So the car will hav less body roll when cornering..Our stock is too soft lah..very bouncy...

Don't know want to ghange springs or get bk. As what bro Psyfool said, the aftermarket springs are lower and stiffer with increased spring rate... About ur choice, if change springs dun go for BK.. And vice versa... If wan to go for both, then need to sacrifice.. Eg; steep shopping centre slopes, tall humps, parking with full load.. These are the things that'll u'll need to consider...

Tat's the reason I'm still delaying...My ride with lip type BK oready hit some ramps...but it could oso be due to the soft stock springs...tend to 'boingg' when reach the bottom...

Apart from BK hitting humps and kerbs, how about the tyres, will it hit the wheel arch when car is loaded with people?

Not for progressive springs... It gets harder when there's heavy load....

Not all lowering springs are hard/harsh... As I mentioned above, progressive springs... These spring have very close or identical characteristics to stock springs.. Thus, it will only harden under hard cornering(load is acting on them), heavy load....

Its not really that necessary.. Unless the springs will cause excessive camber (+ve)... Usually after installing the springs, the mech will align for u(adjusting the tie rods).. If the tie rods cant take the excessive camber, thats where the camber kits come in...
