Probably a little late to research this, since I already ordered them, but I'd love to hear some user feedback. They'll be mated to Bilstein HDs, and are supposed to drop the car about 1.25" all the way around.

My previous experience is limited to H&R progressive springs, but the Irelands are linear. I know these aren't super-aggressive... anything else I should do? Thanks-

This is how they sit with HD. I feel it is a nice compromise, very streetable and you can track them too. I also have the .5 degree front camber plates.

I recently bought stage one springs and bilstein HD's for my 76 "02.

I too thought they would drop the car , but honestly, I don't see any difference, although the car sits a lot straighter.

I installed poly bushings, engine mounts, trans. and diff. mounts,

and new rubber rear subframe mounts at the same time. Also lower ball joints and stock rotors.

It is definitely a lot stiffer and although I haven't really driven it much since the conversion (winter in Canada) I as getting used to and enjoying it. It feels like a new car, but with additional vibrations I assume from the new bushings.

I am running 13x6 exim rims (BBS honeycombs lookalikes) and have no rubbing problems even without rolled fenders.

...with Ireland Stage 1s and Billy HDs, also with Ireland swaybars I believe. Absolutely loved it, the car handled superbly, very well controlled body motion, and it was comfortable enough to drive every day on rough roads. You'll love it if that's what you're looking for.

Stage 1s with Koni SA shocks and E21 wheels. (pic will show once my friend's site comes back up, bah)

Great ride, though my front end is slightly underdamped--really wish the Konis were externally adjustable so I could fix that without pulling everything apart again!

Whoomah!
