Lowering/Performance Shock Springs
I'm looking to gather some info about our current available springs. More of the "good stuff"

I'd like to know some info on Road Magnet and Hyperco springs

For b13 stuff since it's no longer available. I have the hyperco engineer that will email me details on the Gen 1 and Gen 2 stuff. Road magnet wants nothing to do with anyone unless it's jeep or Durango stuff now.

The current thread on the RoadMagnet springs has some of that info: http://www.sr20-forum.com/classifieds-group-buys/78588-wts-road-magnet-springs-b13-b14-discount-code.html

For anything else, you can probably email them, I've mailed them several times and haven't had problems getting an answer. They fit the stock perch, so the diameter should match stock, and the above thread lists the drop from the stock springs.

Hello Road Magnet customers,

Over the past 12 years we have met many awesome folks and seen many awesome cars. Though as times change so do companies. As of today Road Magnet will be putting the springs on the shelf and no longer on the streets. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Though we feel it is best to move on to other adventures. We will truly miss the amazing followers we have.

So I guess we are even more limited in our suspension choices. I picked up a set when the group buy was on before Christmas, but now not sure what to do strut-wise especially in the back. Good Luck OP.

For all those that got in on the Fortune Auto buy, good on ya.

Thank you for another update from a prior source that now has depleted stock for the B13 and B14 chassis.

Move onto Fortunes, it is a lot cheaper than doing Konis the right way, using 8610 and/or 8611 inserts. And now the longer 8610 insert is gone so rears are more difficult to make than fronts now.

Insert Beethoven Moonlight Sonata music.

Wait what? No more 8610 strut cartridge? I just got off the phone with
"KONI North America
1961 International Way • Hebron • KY • 41048
Telephone: (859) 586-4100 • Fax859) 334-3340"

from their website obviously lol, and they said its in stock as we speak and not being put out of production. According to the Koni rep and whatever she was looking at on her screen.

I want to say search or just look around because the answer is a few threads down in this very section.

Here is the spoon. http://www.sr20-forum.com/brakes-suspension/79258-b13-koni-options.html#post1039406

EDIT: I did have my series mixed up, the 8611 is no longer produced.
