springs

[andyschlueter]

If you want stock hieght, go with a stock type V8 spring with new struts. I
hear it's a good ride with stocck struts. If it were me, I would just keep
the stock springs and drop in a nice set of struts bilstein HD or koni. I
rode in an avant with stock springs and bilstein hs's, what an awsome ride.

If this guy is crying so much about how no one knows anything about springs,
why doesnt he go with coilovers? And why would you even let the suspension
become so fucked up in the first place?? Im sorry for being rude, but this
is sad.
