lower springs
I don't know much about mod. parts. i want to lower my car. i got 17" rim on right now. have been shop around but don't know what springs are right for it. the best i check was some H & R springs which cost around $350.00ca. (not installed) it said that it lowers 1.3" for the front and 1.5" for the back. Any other susguestion? brands? where to get them around vancouver area? Thanks everyone

Re: lower springs
Majority of us in the club are running H&R's on our MX-3s. $350 is a little high for them. Eibach is suppose to be bringing back springs for the MX-3. I think Intrax springs were a 1.75" drop. How much do you want to lower your car? Try Overseas Auto, Driver's Edge, Boom Plus Toys?, Toys 4 Wheels, Garage 5, etc.<P>What else have you done to you MX-3?

Re: lower springs
Don't go toys 4 wheels, remember what I said? They did a shyyt job, screwed some stuff up...shoddy, shoddy work.<P>Lower it yourself! It'll only take you a night!<P>And yea, I'm happy with my H&R's, though coilovers would be nice...<p>[ October 09, 2002: Message edited by: Custommx3 ]

Re: lower springs
Definitely don't get them installed at Toys 4 Wheels, oh yea I remember. Just a suggetion to see if they sold lowering springs for our cars. I haven't been keeping track on who sells what around town anymore. If you have time, patients and a set of spring compressors, install them yourself. Get a wheel alignment done after you install them.

Re: lower springs
You'll have to shop around and get the best price you can. Are you sticking with just buying from a shop in Van or would you be willing to get the springs from a shop out in the burbs? While you're calling around for pricing, might as well check to see if Eibach<P>Which FS do you work at. That would be sweet if you can hook us up with stuff, hope you mngr doesn't read this forum.

Re: lower springs
Richmond , worst place to go now a days. I only go to Ironwood Plaza once in a while when I need my skates sharpened. Is it still bad out there?<P>Check the Buy & Sell and have you checked with all the perfromance shops down in ditchman. If we hear of any group buys or sales on lowering springs, we'll let ya know.

Re: lower springs
B+G has a 1.6" drop all the way around. $199 on Corksport.
Re: lower springs
199USD is basically 350 canadian anyways.. plus shipping and duty!! stupid border..<P>anyways,(i'm new here - first post!) if you guys end up doing a group buy i'd be interested. i'm in vic..
Re: lower springs
Yeah but I think i'de rather have a 1.6" drop all the way around than a 1.3" in front and 1.5" in the rear.
Re: lower springs
aahhh yes, definitely. i want to stuff 18's in there, so i'm a little concerned about how much drop i will be able to have.
