i want stiffer springs... eibach good, but not my taste... i want much much stiffer. from the things that i saw i think i might want something like 350-450 spring rate... can you name a few...
 
h&r lists their race springs as being available for 06+ on their website, but i have yet to see them for sale anywhere. call tirerack.com and ask them if they can order them yet. the race springs for 00-05s spring rates are 325 lbs/in front and 375 lbs/in rear.[headbang] if you want anything stiffer than you will likely have to get coilovers, which would require you to convert to 05 spindles and lower control arms.[mecry]

as far as using ground control springs, aren't those "coilovers"? i've never heard anything good about ground control...[rolleyes]

Yes, they are "adjustable" coilovers. I have them on my Miata with Koni shocks (375F, 250R) and it is nice to be able to change the level of the car and corner weigh it. Never had a problem in 5+ years. If Ground Control kits weren't any good they wouldn't be posting this on their website:

Ground Control works very hard with Eibach USA to make these springs to the standards that you demand. Lifetime guarantee on everything, not just springs. No excuses about "racing" or "special". If anything fails, while being correctly installed, it will be taken care of, period. We can only have a guarantee like this because every single part of the Ground Control Street coil-over kit is made by us or someone we trust. None of these parts are made in Taiwan. Everything is made in the USA.

the hr sound good... i got the eibach and want stiffer and i seem to not like progressive:) u do not feel the change from softer to stiff but u wonder why sometimes is hella stiff and sometimes is not...
 
i find my teins are stiff. there are even a few posts talking about how they are super stiff on the highway. i would agree i think mine are stiff like crazy. or maybe it just me.
