Suspension M7 spring / (??) Struts
M7 spring / (??) Struts
Hello
I've purchased a set of m7 springs recently.
Knowing that my stock struts won't last forever if I pack them on.
So I've looked around here and found mostly H-sport + some sort of aftermarket strut infos. but not much on M7..
Do you guys have any suggestions?
also for a cheaper solution, will it be a good idea to trade m7 for h-sport and not install aftermarket struts?
Thanks guys.

Most of our customers have not found a need to switch out their struts . If you prefer to do that any of the struts you have seen working with other combinations would work just as well such as Koni etc. If you have any other questions feel free to give Peter a call at the shop. ( 1 562 712 3270 )

We refer to his garage as the shop as it is where he does most of his creative work . We are still trying to avoid the overhead of a store front but it is getting difficult to find space LOL.

I got the H Sports CAs with my M7 springs [they are expensive, but really nice and strong], but you have many options. Cheapest is to look in the marketplace for some ones that are being unloaded. Assuming they have not been abused, they will be perfect for your needs. The other option [perhaps cheapest] is to pay someone for their stock '05 or great control arms. These have camber adjustments, standard [they don't look pretty and they're not light, but they work just fine].
Hope that helps.

i have a 02 mcs, with stock shocks,
im about to get 18"s rims and m7 springs.. Is this unwise? will my shocks be ruined after x000's of miles? i dont track the car or anything so i dont believe i need control arms etc.
pls advise - thanks in advance!

Hi Skuzy......
We have sold literally hundreds of sets of the M7 springs, and I have never
received a call from anyone with strut problems associated with our springs.
If you have any specific questions, please give me a call....

M7 springs only drop the car around 1.3" which IMHO is just about perfect, if you expect more you will be disappointed. I've been using these springs for a few months now and I like the ride. I would never call these "soft" as some like to state but the ride is slightly more compliant over the factory springs (on my '05).

M7 springs, stock shocks for over 4K miles, no problems, beautiful ride. I just installed my 18" wheels this morning, non-runflats. Ride is even smoother, and quieter. Heard the wheels rub once after hitting a big bump, not a major rub, just a slight rub. Tire rack guys told me I may have to dremel down a bit of the liner but I don't anticipate it rubbing that often. I had a Civic that rubbed a little too, and I never experienced any major issues.
