Best value springs? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Im torn between Eibach pro and RCE yellow springs?

Do you guys know how much RCE yellow springs roughly are?

I'm looking for one of those.

Thanks

RCE yellows are right around $300. I love my RCE Yellows, but a lot of people love the Eibach pro's. Can't go wrong with either.

Try vogtland if you want budget springs

Hotchkis is also good for the money

I paid $180 shipped for some Tein H-tech as a temporary solution. So far, so good.

Im looking for decent drops and ride close to stock comfort.

UnOvertime · 06-04-2013, 12:41 AM

The RCE's will drop about 3/4th of an inch maybe a little more. Ride is better than stock to be honest. Drop may be the only issue for you. I just bought the Tarmac zero coilovers from RCE so there is real quality in their stuff.

I like my RCE springs but it's definitely a harsher ride. It gave the car a perfect drop and feels great though.

how much did you get? I thought it was not out yet. I was going for stance.
This car is only for DD anyway. So, I don't feel like spending too much money on coils.

If you're more into stance, you probably just want Eibach Sportlines then. I think 1.4" drop and same price as Prokit. Not sure how long the stock dampers are good for with the bigger drop, but Prokit is 1" and RCE is .8". So they're 20/25/35 mm, if you're into the whole metric thing.

My car is strictly my DD as well. I have had my springs for about 3 months and I do still like them, but I felt like I wanted coils so I have been looking around. I was looking at everything from BC's and Fortune up to KW's, but spending 2k on KW's seemed ridiculous for my needs. I know me and I will never touch the settings once they are set. The Tarmac Zeros are built by KW to RCE's specs. They are an install and forget set with height adjust ability. Right now there is an intro price for one of the first ten sets.

What's a good value spring with the most modest drop? I don't want to go too low because I need room for a lip kit and don't want to worry too much about scraping. I don't need super expensive racing springs/coils because my car is a DD.

Eibach Pro-Kit can be had for a little over $200 I believe. RCE Yellows are likely over $300. Maybe there are places with them cheaper, I dunno. A difference of 5mm between the two, so it's really a toss up. Spring rates are different, but I don't think you could go wrong with either.

I highly recommend the swift springs
