hey guys i have an 09 MCS im going to be purchasing O.Z alegriatta wheels 16x7 with 205/50/R16 tires, for now i want to add springs so im trying to figure out which are best . i want about an inch, i know NM has springs that drop about 1.2" and i think H&R is about 1.4, only other option would be to just get the jcw suspension or if you can just get the springs. if i buy aftermarket down the road im looking at bilstien or koni sport shocks n struts, anyone have any info they can give me on a good spring, does anyone have the nm-eng springs?

 

Texas speed works is the place for springs that work with oem struts

 

NM engineering springs are great if springs are the route you would like to go.

 

Thanks for mentioning them, they have some stuff that I have looked for but could not find!

 

I sell all of those springs, and I really recommend the NM-eng. springs. We've had several customers very happy with them.

 

my buddy just got a set of ABF Springs for his R56, he is loving it.

 

thats what i have been hearing, i have been going back and forth with the guys at nm and man talk about cool guys and awsome customer service, i talked with the engineer on there exhaust and others companies one day for like a half hour on the phone, plus i like alot of there parts, and for now springs are how i want to go later i will replace the shocks and struts when they need to be. thanx for all the help

 

After reading EVERY thread on this topic I decided to go with NM's and either koni yellows or bilstein shocks. I will have to pay to do the work and the overwhelming consensis is stock shocks with any lowering spring is a compromise. This has delayed the purchase of my wheels (17's just look wrong if the car isn't lowered) until I can budget for everything.

 

im getting 16x7 allegritta hlt's with 205 tires im going to purchase springs first then by summer ill replace the shocks and struts a piece at a time no rush to do it all at once, as for the stock shocks and struts with nm or anything thats an inch r under its not overkill so you wont destroy the oem parts as fast, if you were going like a 2" drop then yea you would have problems

 

I agree. Stock shocks and mild lowering springs aren't "bad". They just aren't ideal.

 

I've had NM springs on my '09 JCW for 30,000 miles. I purchased mine from Aaron at Outmotoring. Great product from a great vendor

 

good to know that you like them, i like the guys over at nm
