Coil Springs

[tachasmo]

I'm replacing the suspension in my 05 Comp G and I'm finding everything I need except the coil springs. Rockauto has a few but they're all variable spring rate. I read somewhere that those are good for the back to reduce sag, but they also said to get constant spring rate for the front. Is this true or would I be just fine with the variable rate in the front and the back?

I believe it all depends on what you are looking for in your ride. How do YOU want it to ride when you are done replacing the springs?

[tachasmo]

I'm more just looking for it to be a stock ride. It's a daily driver so I want it to be comfortable, but I don't want it to sit higher than stock normally does.

If it was me I'll keep it simple and just get some low mileage stock springs

Do all 04-08 GPs have the same springs regardless of model or is there something specific I would be looking for?

[REDCRAPGP]

I believe they all share the same springs just different struts

Unless you plan on lowering it, why go with something different?

You make a good point

how many miles on your 05?
If I was to do what you are doing I would toss the G springs back on.
Are you spending the money on the FE3s that are stock on the compG?

I mean if you want I can look at my old compg springs and get you the numbers, the tags are still on them.

My car has about 175,000 miles on it. It was suggested in another thread I started that I could get the Excel-G 339015 Front Struts (06+ Style, FE4 Spec) Excel-G 339148 Rear Struts (06+ Style, FE4 Spec) and be fine. So yes I am getting the struts for the special handling package.

Good choice either the comp g or excel would be good for you. I stand corrected looks like you should find low mileage comp g springs.

With a different sway and links.

With a different sway and links.

So you're saying if I go with those struts I can't use the sway bar and stabilizer links for the 05?

[spazzz]

Thats what I'm sayin.
The front needs a swaparoo

I thought Gxp springs were higher rate than comp g

[REDCRAPGP]

It could be ^ I have a set of both I'll compare the p/n

[crock]

The excels would be excellent on that! What are you wanting to do with it?
