stg. 1 springs... - 8/21/2006 4:23:08 PM    Plan B   Posts: 709 Joined: 10/11/2005 Status: offline So, I see that a lot of us are getting the Mopar stg. 1 springs lately and it has me wondering..... What do the stg. 1 springs offer that the other companies, such as Hotchkis & Eibach, don't? The main driving force behind my question is the price... Mama Mopar seems to be charging an awful lot, and not just for the springs, but for the strut/sway bars as well.... Is Mama Mopar slightly greedy? Or are the prices justified? I know they are quality parts, and if I had the dough it wouldn't be a question at all. But when you're ballin on a budget you have to ask these questions.... Any thoughts? Post #: 1

I would prefer a set that would eliminate some of the rake, not add more.... I may still be in touch with you though... Thanks again! (in reply to 1fstsrt) Post #: 5

They're the least drop with springs, but it's a trade off for strut life and ride quality. _____________________________ 2005 Stage 2 Totaled 8-11-06 :( (in reply to Plan B) Post #: 6

RE: stg. 1 springs... - 8/27/2006 8:15:56 PM    Andy4.7 Posts: 559 Joined: 8/6/2005 Status: offline Mine lowered more like 1.25 front 1.5 rear. There's still rake but less, and the car is lower of course and looks much better. Our cars are pretty ridiculous stock when you stop and really look at them. < Message edited by Andy4.7 -- 8/27/2006 8:18:14 PM > _____________________________ 2005 Stage 2 Totaled 8-11-06 :( (in reply to Plan B) Post #: 8
