Suspension Techniques Springs

Has anyone installed these? If so, are they any good? Are they linear or progressive rate? How much drop have you noticed?

I was on the belltech website trying to get information and they give little more than telling you that these springs exist. I'm looking for a good spring but don't really want a progressive rate spring.

I was also thinking Hotchkis, anyone used these?

I think I've spent more time comparing springs than any other part I've installed.


Thanks in advance for the help.

I had Suspension Techniques on my Firebird for about 5 years along with their sway bars. The rear are progressive rate. They did not lower the car but just a tad. I thought they worked great but I have nothing to compare them against except stock (which sucked). The sway bars however are simply beefy. I do have comparisons there and I would definitely recommend the sway bars.

They dropped mine about .5 in the front and 1.0 in the rear. However, I was running stock 82 V6 springs. I sure they were sagging some from being old and the front dropped pretty good with the 350 install. Plenty of pics on my website.

Thanks for the responses. How was the handling? How much did it stiffen up the ride. My car handles pretty well now with stock IROC springs so what kind of difference would I notice?
