    Hi guy's.

    Ok, since the last 4 years, i'm lowering on Eibach springs on AGX. Love the ride and stance, but Since i moved to Montreal, where the roads are worst than in Iraq, i'm looking for a more confortable ride.

    My first lowering springs was Canuck Motorsport and the ride was not so better than eibach ... So, what lowering spring i need ?

    Thanks in advance.

    Vogtland or stock springs are your best bet.

    I'm going to be taking the stock springs off my Intrigue soon, and I believe there's a thread stating the Intrigue springs will drop a GP a little...they ride soft.

    Have you driven on them? Have you seen them? How do you know their bad quality. It's all personal opinion, They look good on my car, they ride great. Yes the rear is barely lowered, but the front is lowered nicely.

    Would i change my mind if i were to lower again? Yes, but it would be coilovers or bags to do it right.

    based on the cost alone, i can make assumptions. why do all of the other lowering springs cost more than $200?

    the chinese knockoff parts are literally killing the scene. pretty soon everyone is going to have a janky ebay parts car.

    Chinese parts are killing the scene because nobody in the u.s wants to make stuff for our cars anymore. and if they do they price gouge the ****.

    you dont make money if everyone wants the cheaper parts, regardless of overall quality. that's how a world economy works.

    All of this. It's the fact that people buy **** quality parts anymore. Maybe if everyone would pay for known/proven brands and spend the extra coin, your car wouldn't break. And, if there is a large enough amount of people purchasing the products, price should in turn decrease.

    Now, when it comes to little accessory exterior or interior pieces, sure get the cheap stuff off ebay. Like a front lip for example, you are probably gonna smash it or crack it on something. So why spend 300 on something you know is probably gonna break?

    Performance parts though, whether engine, suspension or braking. You can be damn sure that I'm going to use something proven that companies have tested for years before offering it for sale. People compare quality parts to cheap parts so much and don't think or understand why the good **** costs more. They didn't just look at a design and make it and sell it... They took the time to make sure that it is going to excel in performance, longevity and durability. That is why it costs more.

    I try my hardest to stear clear of anything that says "made in china" because I don't like buying things over and over. I bought China window regulators that lasted 3 months before the motors decided they don't have to put the windows up anymore. Even if their parts have lifetime warranties they still sell junk. Not saying all American made is one and done, but I feel much more comfortable giving my money to Americans. Screw China, their agenda, and cheapy springs.
