do springs make a huge diffrence?
Just like the title ask do springs make a huge difference? I am debating buying moog Irok springs from rock auto to match the rest of my suspension its all moog. So will the spring make a huge Difference for a daily driver?

I just bought and installed the 5665 springs and JamesC is telling the truth. I have a 4"+ fender gap. Will be removing the isolator first, and possibly cutting a coil to get it less 4x4 like.

Re: do springs make a huge diffrence?

Here's a closer look at the back 5665 springs (back when I still had the GS-D3 tires on there). To me, it looks fine like this. If you kneel down on the ground and look closely, it may appear to have lots of gap. But from my usual standing position, walking up to the car (as this photo was taken), this is what I see. The rear heights were 28.5" when this photo was taken.
Don't forget that the back end will be 0.75" lower once you actually sit in the car. Regardless, I like it at the height it is.
