[QUOTE="BMR Tech, post: 14660666, member: 124691"] Sure, you can use them. If it is an auto, you may not notice much of a difference to be 100% honest. If you have a manual trans, don't even debate it - go Viking. The advantages are; more stable launch, better geometry, and less need for a "better" damper. "Weight Transfer" is a function of many things, and it is not to be confused with wasted energy. I rather control weight transfer with IC settings, and dampers...than using a "sloppy" spring. FRPP Cobra Jets Tried that V6 Sloppy Spring theory from the 80's, early on...and look where it landed them. (2008 to 2014) Landed them about 2" down, I'd say. :dancenana: [IMG]http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/01/ford-mustang-cobra-jet-fr500cj_2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.blogcdn.com/slideshows/images/slides/125/628/9/S1256289/slug/l/2014-ford-mustang-cobra-jet-2014-bjms-cjxx1-1-1-1.jpg[/IMG] Now, I do like some stored energy, but not "too" much. OEM springs at 123-130lb/in....that is too much. Controlling a fast car, with a tall sloppy spring, that is not really the way I like to set my customers up. I'll take a lowered car all day, everyday. :thumbsup: Stockers can, and do work great for some. For others, not so much. See above post. Very broad, yet general question. As you can imagine, I recommend it all. Let me know more precisely what you are looking for from the car. [/QUOTE]
