race vs sport springs?

[StocK-CB]

is there a big difference between race and street springs?
will race springs be to rough to dirve on the street where the ground is not the best.... or will sport springs be stiff enough for the ride to feel better bu not so stiff that ur gettin beat up by ur seat

It depends on the brand, how stiff the coil is, and what dampers you are using.

usually race springs are stiffer than street springs but like accordztech said, it depends on the brand on how stiff each one is

Well, the only major brands that offer springs called "Race" and "Sport" are Neuspeed and H&R. Race is lower and stiffer.

I had H&R Race on my car, and I just replaced them with Neuspeed Sport. I prefer the higher, softer ride. My car isn't a race car yet.

Firstly what are you looking for from the springs? Are you going for the feel of the ride or actual purpose. Will you be doing track days, auto x, etc.?

If you are going for stiffness then as deev said H&R or Neuspeed are your best bet. Also take into consideration to swap your shocks as well. Fully adjustables or an aftermarket shock is best.

You can find a ton of info in the suspension section. This topic is purely based on a persons preference.

You're asking advice from educated adults, please type like an adult yourself. It gets irritating replying to someone that's too lazy to type a 3 letter word.

Koni Yellows, Koni Reds (not worth the trouble), and Tokico Illuminas are the only 3 "off the shelf" shocks that will handle the majority of the springs on the market. You MIGHT be able to get away with Koni STR.T (orange) with the Neuspeed or H&R Sport springs, but definitely not the Race models.

As said, read the "sticky" threads in the suspension section. That will give you a lot of useful information to make your own decision.
