    Getting Springs in 2 Days (seriously)

    yea so im buying springs in two days since it turns out who was responsible for buying my rims didnt buy sprigns also so im buying them thursday. ive searched and it shows that Galant V6 springs lower more than the other Tein springs. is this true or are they all mostly the same?

    They are mostly the same spring. I have an I4 and I have the V6 springs installed. At first they looked like they were still a bit too high but then they settled.

    the v6 will lower more than an i4 with the same springs cuz the v6 weighs more and factor in gravity, that all adds up to lower drop. now take both cars into outer space where there is no gravity and they'll both be "lowered" the same

    wait so since the v6 springs probably have a higher spring rate would that make the ride too stiff for the i4?

    Because they do. They are the same springs but the added weight of a V6 motor causes them to go down a little more.

    if you go to the tein website you can see that the i4 and v6 springs have the same spring rates

    Yeah they should take care of it, but make sure that you email Paypal too and let them know what up.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(lonestar22)</div><div class='quotemain'>shop round here said they would charge $334 to install springs and do an alignment</div>If you are in Houston around by Bissonnett, go to Car Boys. They only charge $30 even to install my springs and struts. I did not need an alignment though.
