Where to buy springs... - Houston-Imports.com

therest · 10-28-2009, 01:31 PM

I want to see if I can get a good deal on springs locally, save on shipping fees probably. Where can I go, I know there is ASAA but do I have other options? they are skunk2 springs and i know advance auto parts doesnt carry them in their catalog..

what kind of car are you trying to get springs for?? I would advice online places better, dont know many Houston shops that do a fair price.. and why cheap out on skunk2s? you want good ride, get some Tein S..

ok then, im still looking online too! and how much better would the tein be over the skunk2s??

just google and you'll find a bunch of places. And Skunk2's suck. Ride quality is crap

Really? I hear they handle great and that the ride isnt that bad? Do you speak from a different car, or a general claim?

i never had a problem with my old skunk2 sleeves, but s techs are more comfortable for daily driving and they're pretty cheap now

The drop on those s techs is very minimal. Skunk2 has some "drag" springs, or they had, that hgave the car a much nicer drop. I never had a problem with my Skunk 2 but I had the full coilover kit not just springs.
