Best place to order IMPUL springs?
#61
guys guys guys, a drop is a drop!!!
don't think you'll get away from "tire rutts" and "highway glaciers" by buying overpriced springs that supposedly give you 3/4 of an inch less in drop.
If you want the drop, do the eibach/tein/h&R setup and if you want a slight lift in the winter, throw on some spring boosters (cheap alternative to coilovers).

Lots of different styles actually, some are even "adjustable".

Oh well something to think about. Still wish that I could get the Impuls though.

I wouldn't consider Spring Boosters.
For those of use with X's and the concerns we have, it's not a viable solution.
We live with good weather for about 6-7 months and then have 5-6 months of pure crap.
Are you going to get alignments every six months when these boosters are installed or removed?

about the boosters....
![](http://go.mrgasket.com/ProductImages/350/1285.jpg)
this is what I use in the rear. you wont get 1" lift, why you ask?
when the car is sitting on the spring (loaded), there already is a gap between the coils. this gap is close to 1/2 inch, maybe less. The booster just holds a gap between the two coils to 1", so in total, your car might realistically get a lift of 1/2 to 3/4 inch.
I have this booster installed on the rear of my 02 Camry (also lowered with eibach pro) for the last 3 years. It gives the rear that more even, level look with the front as eibach/ tein/ etc appear as if the rear slightly sags.
As for aligning, if you're using it for just a season, a 1/2 to 3/4 inch lift for a few months of winter do not justify having to re-align.

If you're really concerned for the coils pressure points and "added stress", these boosters can be modified and placed on the top of your spring, with one side of the booster's u-channel cut flat, and cut to desired height (anything up to 1 inch), then tie-wrapped or epoxied (or both preferably) in place onto the top coil, such as in this picture to give you an idea. Our G's springs in the rear already sit on a rubber spacer on the top, all you're doing here is adding to that stock rubber.

So...yes, spring boosters suck, but used/applied properly they do give an unadjustable spring some room for adjustment.

All the coil-overs that are coming out in the "near future" still seem to start off at 3/4" drop for the rear which means at least a 1" drop to balance the front gap. Plus they still cost $1400+. These Impul springs do not offer a lot of bang for the buck but the step up to a coil over is huge $$$. I do not want to go to an Eibach or H&R because it seems like the alignment can't be brought back to spec which is a big no-no here in Hawaii.
