<div>From what I <em>read</em> about the Gen 1 Hypercoils, the combination of the huge drop and soft springs caused excessive wear on bump stops and obviously the jarring ride and potential loss of control that goes with that..</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Gen 2's were known as the "perfect" spring for spirited daily driving. I have had great luck with them paired with my shortened koni's and sway bars..</div>

They were never sold to retailers, and I think there was only 2 batches of the 2nd gen (300f/200r) and 1 of the 1st gen (spring rates unknown). The 1st gen springs were too low, so the 2nd gen springs were made with the rates that Mike Kojima specd. The 2nd gen springs also say Gen2 on the coils. The only way to buy them now, is to find a used set.<br>
<br>I have no info about the roadmagnet springs.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Eric Waterman<br><br></font>

<div><font size="2" face="Arial"><span>So I need to replace my old worn out Eibachs which were decent once upon a time but have been very poor for several years now. Road Magnets and Hypercos have garnered much praise on the forums so rather than redoing my strut assemblies using a set of used Ground Controls, I am looking at simply replacing my prokits. </span></font></div>

<div><font size="2" face="Arial"><span>Over on the Hyperco website which I think is <a href="http://www.hypercoils.com/" target="_blank">www.hypercoils.com</a>, there is no listing for cars, just part #s. Is the website correct for the Hypercos that are so popular with forum users? Has anyone ordered directly from them and if so, how did you know what to order?</span></font></div>

<div><font size="2" face="Arial"><span>At <a href="http://www.roadmagnet.com/" target="_blank">www.roadmagnet.com</a> there is a listing of sorts for the B13 lowering springs but does anyone know if this is the same set sold by a forum member with 1.25" front w/a spring rate of 325 and 1" rear w/a spring rate of 250? The product page only calls out a 1.3" drop which concerns me. $270 seems like a decent price but only if it's actual performance springs.</span></font></div>
