do springs really matter that much?

i just bought a set of KYB AGX shocks and struts and now am wondering ifi should get a set of springs too...i dont really want to go spending too too much money and was wondering if the shocks and struts are enough for just a little bit extra performance...i am also building a wonderbar too. should i hold off for a week or so and just get the springs or go for it now?

Re: do springs really matter that much?

yeah i understand that...but i mean im not really racing my car or anything, i just want a bit better performance and already got new shocks and struts....do you think just get the springs or should i just leave it at shocks/struts/wonderbar? also what are good springs to get, i cant find anything else than moog on summit and i want the same height, no lowering whatsoever

you got me there i dont know what you would get someone will chime in soon enough but you would be fine with just getting shocks struts if the ones you currently have are bad enough you will notice a diff also with the wonder bar you are making

Well, if you want it to handle as good as it did new of the showroom, you need to get new stock springs. Right now, the worn out stock springs probably have the equivelent rate of new V6 springs.
