Well my newest mods are a BFP CF strut bar (blingish) rear tower Pilo bar, moulded vent hood scoops. I am now considering a set of M7 springs for following reasons in order, looks , function , ride. Am I looking at tire wear problems? or alignment issues ? Am I going too far :impatient I don't drive this car everyday but do put on alot of miles. If I do go with M7 do I look at complimenting the springs with any other mods?

 

anybody?

 

Yes, get some springs, you will love the look and the ride. M7 or H-Sport. I've had them both and feel you can't go wrong with either. Good luck! Check some of the other threads as well. You'll hear a lot of comments on both products and others too. Sounds like you are off to a good start already!

 

When you get the springs and play hard, within a year you will have to replace the suspensions, so you might as well save up for a suspension kit. This is a pretty strong statement and a lot of people are going to say, "I got mine for 9 months everything is fine; my springs are on the car for 2 years and nothing has happened yet" but it eats your suspension gradually, you do not realize. But again, this depends on the roads you drive, and how you drive. Eventually you will hurt the suspension. I am a firm believer of changing the suspension with an aftermarket or even OEM performance shocks. The springs are good for the looks and definetely improves handling. This is what I believe based on my experiences. I was leaning towards Eibachs, but when ready I will get a adjustable coilover kit so I can set-up the height depending on the purpose of driving. Just my .02

 

Don't forget the rear control arms to regain proper or desired camber (lower) & toe (upper)

 

What about tire wear ? Am I going to see uneven wear? And I do drive my car hard and will with or without these mods

 

Same wear as now if you get the rear control arms. Aside from lowering the center of gravity, rocks that normally would hit high on your windshield, don't

 

Are you talking about uneven wear as in the tire rolling over too much? If so then yes, lowering the car will give more camber front and rear and will help with that. I do not personally know how much camber you will have, but any will help. Wether it wil be too much in the rear compared to the front I, again, do not know. The adjustable control arms can bring the rear back into stock spec, or can be adjusted for more or less, which can come in handy depending on what you're using the car for.

There are plenty of people that use stock shocks with aftermarket springs, but it is always a good idea to change them both at the same time. The stock shocks seem to do a decent job at controling the springs...but htere are mcuh better out there.

Hopefully I haven't confused you and have given you things to think about and research.
