put on my "winter suspension" today...stock shocks/struts + prokits

drop looks to be about 1" front and rear

sooooooo soft and nice compared to the megan coilovers!

still handles well too

pic is kinda crappy, but oh well

Sucks you had to get rid of the coilovers but nice stance still. What are the spring rates?

i havent got rid of the coilovers, they're just coming off for the winter

spring rates on the prokits are progressive, so the more you push them the firmer they get

but man is the ride ever compliant! its like riding on a cloud! (this is, of course, relative to megan coilovers, haha)

i hated how the prokit behave on the echo... that shit was harsh, and the rear springs were super soft..

the thing i find w/ the softer suspension is the car feels less sturdy/stable in general. now the car will bob and tilt mid-corner and in the wind more than it did w/ the megan coilovers...
