Hyperco springs?

Has anyone used hyperco springs on the 86 yet? I'm thinking about pairing them with Koni struts/shocks.

Hyperco makes a very nice spring, they make linear spring for use on high end coilovers. I wouldn't hesitate to run them.

We have run Hyperco coilover springs on a few of the coilover set-ups we've used on our BRZ. Excellent springs, in the top 3 available for sure.

I don't believe they have an OEM style spring for use with the stock shocks or Konis though.

What are you looking for in a spring to pair with your Konis? Track or auto-x performance? Ride quality? Looks?

I'm looking for autoX+daily. I'd prefer purpose above all so ride quality and looks don't matter too much. I'm trying to find some springs to pair with my Konis, which will be installed after winter. I'm also looking at RCE and Mach V.

EDIT: I also didn't see any posts discussing Hyperco so I made a new thread.

Purpose actually is related to ride quality too.

I don't think Hyperco makes a spring for OEM struts or Konis, unless you do a custom coilover conversion.

I'd have a look at our RCE Tarmac springs. Designed specifically for Konis...there isn't anything firmer out there. Also come with shortened replacement bumpstops that help maintain usable bump travel...good for the street and the track.

Check out Swift Springs as well as RCE, Eibach and all the OEM style springs that you would be able to run with your Koni setup.

Thanks,
Michael
