Default linear spring options.

other that hotchkies, what options are there for linear springs, and how do they all compare. it seems to me like linear are the way to go for performance oriented driving and i plan on auto-xing my car soon hopefully.

thanks,
Rajiv

well i heard (and thats why i bought) the RS-R springs are one of the best performance springs out there. Linear in the rear and only slightly progressive in the front.


Spring rates:

345front
417rear



i would recommend them. Slightly better ride quality but handeling was definatly improved some. Also they only lower the car .6" so getting your car aigned within specs is easy.

Here's a pick of the 350Z RSR's judge for yourself. The picture was sent to my by RSR. Maybe one coil, even if that could be progressive in nature.

Here are Tein S-tech's, you can positively see they are progressive front and linear rear

the hotckis are awesome....just installed them this morning (thanks chad ) anywasy ... ride quality is almost exactly the same .. except that the bounce is gone .. it does not fee like a lowered car .... but the small amount of body roll left over after the swaybars is now gone. Also .. check out titanmotorsports ... they have excellent customer service as well as pricing.
