Hypercos and Road Magnets

[Matthew McCrary]

Hi Darren, you can only find Hypercoil springs for B13's in "used" conditon.
They only sold them in "group buys". Every once in a while someone will put
up a set they bought on a group buy and never got around to installing, but
it's very rare. Expect to pay about $300-350 for a set of Hypercoils. Also,
make sure you look for the more common Gen II Hypercoil springs, the Gen I
springs were too soft and dropped the car too much.

Road Magnets can be found brand new with ease, and you can order any color
you like (not that you care about that)

Compared to your Eibachs, the RM's would definately be considered a
"performance spring". I have had Hypercoils on two different B13's. One set
I bought new and the other set i bought used. They seem to have held up
well. I have only read about the RM's and Eibachs. But the RM's will be a
great upgrade, even if your Eibachs weren't worn out.
