Default KG/MM DR21 Race Springs...

I understand that they are progressive springs and matched to the stock shocks, but to those that have them, have you had any issues with the stock shocks blowing? Thanks!

i don't have them, but I have read many threads on the subject. From what I remember, you will eventually blow the shocks, but since they are progressive, they won't blow as quickly as if you were throwing some springs on say a Civic or Accord. I believe it was said that the s2000 shocks a pretty darn good.

Like I said, I don't know for sure, just what I recall.

Hope this helps some...

Tom

agreed, but I assume people asking about just springs are doing so, b/c coilovers are quite expensive.

did you find this happens a lot though? I mean i would hate to hear that sound. Here in Houston, TX we have some pretty bad roads.

Thanks for everyone's opinions so far, I'm planning on eventually getting coilovers, probably Tein, but I'm getting my wheels soon and I don't want to 4x4 look. Right now I can only afford to get springs.

I plan to have them for about a year... I thought about eibach or neuspeed (heard some very bad things about neuspeed though), but I figure I'll get the best springs out there for now.

Thanks EssTooKayTD!
