I have finally (i think) narrowed down a very annoying noise to the springs on my car. they are pretty old so replacing them would be a good idea. I do not, however, know what kind to get or even where to start, so of course I come here. I have adjustable konis(dont know if that makes a difference). I'm looking for springs that will make a comfortable ride. I dont auto cross and most of the driving is just around town or freeway enjoying the car, so what would everyone recommend? What price region am i looking at? Where is a good place to locate springs? I would prefer to start with HPH, but if not there, where? Thanks in advance!

You can get 100s or 140s for stock-type shocks and spring perches. No problem. 140s will make a car with otherwise stock suspension somewhat tail-happy; I suggest going to a larger front sway bar than stock if you do that.

Actually, with 100s I would suggest going with a stock front sway bar (unless you want the aftermarket adjustable kind).

Mail-order is another option if you want to DIY and don't want to drive to HPH to buy the parts. Of course, B and Rich would be just as happy to mail you the parts as Tom and Wayne, or Jason from Paragon, or Dave from GPR, or Otto, or.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
