• Failure to follow these rules may result in your threads being locked, deleted, or moved. Depending on the severity of your actions, or frequency of your actions, your user account could be suspended or banned. These rules are to help protect both buyer and seller.


    1. CONSOLIDATE all of your for sale items into ONE thread only. This means there will be NO making multiple sales threads for different items regardless if the parts are related or not.

    2. PRICE IS REQUIRED. We do not permit ads without an asking price for each item. "Best Offer" is not an allowable substitute for posting a price. You may ask for $1 but a price must be listed regardless. If a price is not listed with in the first 24 hours of making your sale thread IT WILL BE LOCKED or DELETED. Once a price is listed a bidding war is not permitted. If the seller gets an offer that meets his asking price, the seller should honor the asking price and sell for that amount.

    3. EBAY LINKS AND OTHER LINKS. We allow links to ebay ads, but you MUST have a buy-it-now price posted, or an asking price to stop the auction in your ad here (Not just in the link). If it is from another site or from here, do not use a link but post the full text instead with pictures if you have them listed. If a BIN price is not posted, then your thread will be DELETED.

    4. CITY / STATE are required info for each ad. Information must be posted in the first post of thread, NO EXCEPTIONS. Buyers and sellers reserve the rights to privately ask for full contact information on any purchase or sale. 24 hour notice will be given, if you do not comply your post will be DELETED.

    5. NO TWO PARTY SALES. This means no more "I'm selling for a friend" posts and will be deleted immediately with no notice. Seller assumes all responsibility of anything they post for sale.

    6. NO FEELER THREADS. You are either selling it or you aren’t selling it.

    7. POST COUNT AND/OR TIME LIMIT. We are requesting that you spend some time with us before you start a For Sale thread. A pre-determined minimum number of posts will be required or 1 year since creating the account + an intro thread (just so we know you aren’t the Prince of Africa). Any for sale thread posted out of the For Sale section to circumvent the rules will result in being deleted. Those who do meet the criteria and post outside the section will have their thread moved, constant violation of this will result in an infraction.

    8. NO BUMPING OR TT’ing YOUR THREAD MORE THAN ONCE IN 48 HOURS. Don’t worry your thread will still be a bold read until a user reads it and if people are really interested they will let you know. Post warning will be issued if in violation and on the 3rd warning, the thread will just be locked.

    9. NO THREAD DUMPING OR I DON’T LIKE YOUR PRICE. Don’t post in a person’s thread just to tell them they are too high, either move along and say nothing or throw an offer to them. The person can sell it at whatever price they think someone is willing to pay. Offenders will be issued a warning, if it is a constant issue then an infraction will be issued.

    10. KEEP YOUR THREAD UP TO DATE. This is really for your benefit, so you don’t get 10 PMs asking if you still have it when you already sold it.

    11. NO WEAPONS. As Admins we have determined that no weapons will be allowed to be sold, this includes knives, guns and anything else deemed a weapon (even if its a wall hanger only). We ask that if you want to sell these items you seek out the appropriate websites elsewhere to do so.

    12. Pictures are REQUIRED. Pictures of all items for sale. This is to help BOTH seller and buyer. As a seller it is MUCH easier to sell something if you have pictures of it. As a buyer you feel better seeing exactly what you are buying. Pictures should contain the item/s for sale and a sign of some kind that has your username on it. 24 hour notice will be given, if you do not comply your post will be DELETED.

    FRAUD & RISK. Buy and Sell at your own risk. Grand Prix Forums and its staff are not responsible if someone rips you off or doesn't send parts out in a timely manner. This classifieds section is a free service for the community, and it is YOUR responsibility to handle all transactions in a low-risk method. DO NOT contact us if there is a dispute between you and someone else, we are NOT INVOLVED. You can help minimize fraud risk by doing these suggestions:

    Pay using PAYPAL, using a credit card. This way, if a part does not arrive, you can do a charge back through your credit card company. If you gift it, then you have no recourse to get your money back when things fall through. Pay the 3% and have the buyer protection. Using someone else's paypal and gifting to pay for goods is violating Paypal's Terms of Service.



    Always ask for full name, residential address, phone numbers of both buyers and sellers. An honest seller should have no problem disclosing this info to you privately.


    Shipping things C.O.D. is risky. Try to use UPS or Fedex, so that you can track shipments. Have someone sign for it if it is expensive.


    Ask for references from other members, hopefully from other members who have been registered for longer than one year and are active here.


    Use your gut feeling. If something seems too good to be true, or a seller/buyer seems a little shady, don't take the risk.

    TIPS:
    -Post pictures: with mobile phones these days and auto uploads, it’s not even really hard anymore. Have it automatically drop in Photobucket, grab the Img tag link and paste it in.

    -Give good contact information if you aren’t going to be on here a lot.

    -If you are going to disappear for an extended time (vacation, time in jail, what have you), then give us a quick note that you aren’t going to be around. People will trust you a little more.

    -Look around and gauge your price with other items. Just cause you bought it for $1000, doesn’t mean it’s now worth $1,200 or even the original $1,000. You are free to ask what ever you want, but an item that is priced right will sell quicker.
  • The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Possible new Hyperco Lowering spring kit

didnt read full thread. leaving for work soon. but this sounds interesting. i have a set of (used) Eibachs sitting in my closet. i wont be needing them for another month or so. would like to help

PM me with details and info
 


Staggered looks better anyways, I still feel my rear end is a little low even with spring blocks. Dump+high rates=win. We need a spring like that, something my Konis would be goos with.
 
For handling, looks would be secondary.

1.5 all around with a decent spring rate would be fun.

But again, since im on hd's I wont see as much of a drop. That is completely fine with me seeing as handling is my main priority. Think 0.75".

The thing you'd have to realize is the main objective is handling which requires spring rate.

Perceived roughness will increase but will be influenced by the condition and valving of your struts. Mostly the rebound.

It seems hd's might have too much rebound which increases the "sporty" feel.

The lower you go, the more out of position your suspension will become.

That increases the likelihood of binding which is reaching the mechanical limit of your suspension parts such as ball joint, tie rods.

If you reach the limit of your struts you will hit the bump stop which feels like you've bottomed out the strut.

From what I recall in speaking with bio, he would ride the bump stops with a full load of people with ebiach springs on his 98.

This should never happen if the spring rate is sufficient for the drop

Right now I have hd's with vogtlands. Spring rate 200/140.

The car doesn't soak up every tiny bump leaving you feeling like you're not floating like stock.

Its not uncomfortable by any means, but the car lets you know what's happening.

I was considering coilovers to increase the cars resistance to body roll with a spring rate around 300/225 for a compromise between comfort and handling.

However this threads idea of a stock replacement spring seems a much better solution for a daily driven street car.

you can still have boot to protect your struts and there would be no corrosion prone pieces like the thrust bearing or the threaded sleeve.

The input of anyone on coilovers on spring rate would be greatly appreciated.
 
more than likely i rode the bump stops more often than i thought. bump stops dont feel horrible, and a lot of cars are designed to ride on the bump stops during hard cornering.
 
If going for just handling then you'd want something that doesn't drop quite as much as Eibachs do, my control arms sit a little high above parallel
 


Have a buddy with an iroc on ebiach's and gr2's.

That's a rough ride, yet the spring rates aren't even that high.
 


ssc's ride rough, especially with a few people. havent had the car w/ 4 passangers yet, but i bet id be riding bump stops for shizzle.
 
Agreed any updates?
Im not knowledgeable on springs but i know i want a lower drop in the front then the back. And i don't mind a stiffer ride if it means better handling.

stiffer.

though struts has a HUGE play in how it feels.

So much so, that it concerns me that no one cares about valving their struts for these springs.
 
I drove an 04 dodge ram pickup with the front end going out from a too stiff suspension for a year.
I also occasionally race my bfs slammed lsj on eibachs.

I can handle it hun ;)
