Found a killer deal on Spax springs. nopionline.com Are they good enough? I want to fit them to my 190e 16v with bilstein sports, I will get the 8v ones if i get them. Are they as good performance wise as H&R? Thanks.

if u get the 8v springs, u need to remove the SLS. i dont have any experience with spax, but i know that the H&Rs, H&R cup kit, and the eibach springs handle very well.

forget about the spax springs. they suck. cheap but not good.
The rear shocks are excellent as long as they dont blow out.
I got them on my 8v.

Um I think you're talking about spax shocks and I agree they suck. But spax springs are fine. They give a slightly stiffer and lower ride than H&R's and the turn in control is exception with them on.
