H&R Springs for the 97 GA's???

[RedHot97GAGT]

Okay so I was looking around and I think I want the H&R springs. But I see that they are for 98-2001 GA's. I thought that the 98 and 97 were essentially the same so will these work for me?
The reason i thought the H&R were good is because intrax is too low of a drop and I think that the eibachs won't be enough. Any other springs in the 1.5 to 1.7 drop zone that I should consider?:???:

Also how much should it cost to get the springs installed? I have new struts and springs already. But I guess I better get my alignment checked.

all i can say from my experiences is that for your car...eibach is the only way to go

Thanx for the advice but it doesn't really answer any of my questions.

Do the H&R's work for 97's?
How much to get Springs installed?
Any other springs with a 1.5 to 1.7 drop?

1. H&R is for 99+ only. They will not fit pre-99.
2. Typically $200-$300 or you could do it yourself with the proper tools and a spring compressor. You will need an ailignment.
3. Yes, Intrax. Very happy with mine. (and my 95 suspension is the same as 96-98)

H&R'S wont work....i payed $90 to get my springs installed....and thats an awsome deal compared to what most people pay which is about $150-200.....if you want to get a drop of 1.5 or 1.7 you can go w/ intrax which is a well known brand thats more on the pricey side...or you can go w/ ST springs which is a 1.6 drop in front and i forgot what it is in the back...i used to have them on my ride....got them from ebay for $130 shipped....if you dont care about your ride quality....go w/ ST....if you kinda care...go w/ Intrax...and if you care and u must lower...go w/ eibach....heres a pic of my car w/ the ST springs

ST doesnt ride well im guessin huh?

[Peyman]

im not sure if its just the ST or if its the fact of being dropped more then 1.2"....my experiences....ST sags after a while...i really think i was droped a total of 2' in the front

Ive got Sprint(i dunno if Sprint and SpringTech is the same brand or not) and IMO its close to feeling like stock ride quality,as long as you have good struts and shocks id should feel like stock or close to it...Ive lowered about 2inches or so all around.Very happy with them.I was going to go with Intrax but friend said thes would lower more so I went with them and never looked back.

[Peyman]

st and sprint are the same thing....well my shocks and struts were blown out....so i guess if u got good shocks and struts it should be okay...but they might wear out fast

I should have took some pictures of my car right after it was dropped,i had blown struts and shocks and all my tires were almost even with the fender line.If you get good brand shocks and struts,they should last a good while.KYB's are i think the prefered brand to get...I got some Napa brand(made by Monroe tho) and I think they are kind of sad,but oh well,thats what I get for paying little money.
