Perrin springs
I searched cant find anything, just need something to be cleared up
Currently i have AGX + skunk2 coilovers and i dont like the ride, plus i read some where here on this forum that AGX's will go bad if lowered more then 1.4" and the warranty doesnt cover anything below 1.4".
Perrin are 1.9" front and 1.5" rear and they claim that these springs are designed to work with stock struts. So as i understand the stock struts are not going go bad.
So is it safe to run these with AGX and AGX will not go bad?

I would think it would be a bad combo since KYB doesnt warranty their struts on a spring that lowers the car more than 1.4" and I doubt that those springs are realy made to work with stock struts regardless of what they claim. I dont know what strut would work well with those springs (maybe koni) but I have seen them on a RS and it looked great (wheel gap was very even). If you are looking for a spring that works well with your agx's and you are concerned about comfort you may want to look into SPT or Eiback pro kit. I have had SPT springs (made by Eibach 1.4" front 1.2" rear) with stock struts for around 20k with no problems so I know they would work well with your struts.

Thanks for helping out, i never even looked into SPT springs, but they seem to offer a perfect drop , any idea who has a good deal on them , i found one website has them for $231? do u think it is good deal
That sounds like a good deal. Mine were $279 but I used $200 in subaru bucks. Im not positive but I think the Eibach pro kit is prety much the same and a little cheaper. Just so you know the Prodrives and SPT's are made by Eibach but I think the Prodrives are stiffer. If you want a very stiff spring the SPT's and pro kit may not be for you. I am very happy with mine since IMO they seem to be a good blend of comfort and performance. I think the Prodrives look better but I still think the SPT's are the best spring for me. You might want to check out the reviews section for more info on other springs. Here is a link to the review section, I posted a review on the SPT's and there is some (not much) technical info on them https://www.i-club.com/reviews/showcat.php?cat=43. Here is a link to SPT if you want to check out the spec's http://www.spt.subaru.com/microsites/spt/parts.sptmain. Here is a link that has a pic of my car (its dirty) and I also posted a link in that therad that shows that RS with the Prodrives I was talking about https://www.i-club.com/forums/showth...odrive+springs.

Your car looks great, i think thats a perfect drop for me, plus no i dont really want a stiff ride, i want comfort and performance, so they seem to fit perfect. How did you get 200 suby bucks, is it by getting their credit card?
I have a Subaru Chase platinum master card that gives you 3% on all purchases payable in Subaru bucks. I am about to buy a STI upipe with my Subaru bucks next. Thanks for the compliment on my car, I need to take a better pic after I clean it and I also need to use a better camera. If you are interested in the Subaru card, I will give you some info on how to get one.
Oops, I thought you were talking about Prodrives. Here is a pic of a car with Perrin springs https://www.i-club.com/forums/showth...threadid=56577. From what I have read here at I-club, Prodrive springs drop the front 1.5" and the rear .5" but they are stiffer than SPT's.
SPT=progressive rate
Prodrive=linear

The Perrin drop looks sweet, but being a broke college student i am concered with the life of the AGX, i think the STP is perfect for what i am looking for, yeah about the Scooby credit card, do you get any bucks when you sign up for a credit card like as a bonus or not?
Again thanks for your help.

Oh man i called them about the credit card, to see if they offer any bonuses, this lady was like a robot just reading off the script they have over and over to me, i am like look lady i know about the apr and other crap that comes with it, but can you tell me about subaru bucks, so she goes again with the same scrip **** i coudnt even talk to her normally so i just hung up. By the way she had a funny indian accent.
Well iguess this thread is dead, MO REX thank for helping out, I am gonna get the STP springs in couple of weeks.

I doubt you will get a bonus. You will most likely have to wait untill you spend $3,334 to get your first $100 check. You may not be able to use it on your spring purchase but it will come in handy down the road.
Good luck
