MSS Adjustable Springs vs Other options

[mucky]

Looking to get MSS springs. I was going with Tein at first , but decided to go adjustable. My inital choice was HKS, until I saw there was an option from MSS. They seem to get good feedback, but not much info out there on the MSS. They appear to be easier to adjust the rear than the HKS. Do any of you have any experience with the MSS? Ride quality, or anything. Any info compared to other springs like Eibach, Tein or H&K? Thanks for your help

i run MSS springs on the lowest setting. I don’t have any experience with other brands. Ride quality wise- feels stiffer in both modes but still comfy in normal (this is my everyday setting) No rubbing even with 20mm and 17.5mm spacers.

MSS and HKS are our best sellers. MSS usually has better feedback.

If you want a minimal drop (max 20mm/.79") with softer spring rates closer to OEM, another option is the ST Suspensions adjustable lowering springs. They're owned and made by KW Suspension, so quality is high.

MSS is nice because it has a progressive spring rate for ride quality and handling. I have HKS and love it, no complaints and great ride quality.

Was in same boat as you. I went mss because u dnt have to remove the wheels to adjust from what i heard. Ride quality good to me stiffer in normal mode but still comfortable. I'm dropped for a flush look and daily my car. MSSbis a reputable company and they do engineer quality parts. Wait til you open that box they send if you go that route ??????

Does MSS come with any spring silencers. Is it even a problem with MSS like it is on the other lowering springs

Will the ST springs have the same issue people talk about the HKS, when trying to adjust the rear springs?

MSS is a bit stiffer and better on the track. HKS slightly softer and more comfortable on the street, although MSS is fine as well.

MSS is very quiet. I believe HKS is as well but I haven’t driven with them as much.

Adjusting the rear sucks on either.

One difference is that you can run wider tires with HKS.

I saw a few post about the HKS system needing to be basically removed to adjust the perchon the rear. People said not so, on the MSS, and was much easier to adjust the rear. My experience is from coilovers which were always easy to adjust. Will 19x11(305/35) and 19x9.5 (275/35) fit with MSS? My ocd won't allow for a system like the rear HKS. I wouldn't be able to make one adjustment and call it good. And I don't know if I want to struggle with the process if the HKS.

Was thinking this route too. Wondering if there are other as good options with adjustable height springs. I want to maintain stock height for normal driving - not really looking to lower for now but still have the option later. Only do 3-4 track events/yr but want to enjoy it as much as possible.

I know you need to let them settle and get new alignment, etc. Is that a mileage or time thing? Curious how close to a track day these could be installed.

Also, where’s the cheapest place to get these. I’ve seen them for around $1k online but thought I’d seen them a lot cheaper here.

TIA

Was going to and decided I’d just end up setting them low and never adjusting them anyways. Went with the Whiteline springs instead. No regrets. Love them.

Even 1” drop front and rear.

I got them for about $850. Installed them
Myself.

Have run them for about 3 months.

Excellent ride quality. Make the suspension a bit stiffer but preserve the dampening.

Install video omits an important step. The lower seat on the rear MUST BE INSTALLED. Also set them at high position, let them settle (they do in about 50 miles of driving) the decide your height.

Is very hard to raise them and I had to unmount the front do it. Is easier to lower due to the spring tension. So go high at first.

You will need to align your car after install.
Final advice: they sell dust boots separately. I’d advise to get them. Little grains of dirt get on the thread and that makes adjusting harder.

Also keep in mind, HKS you can run wider tires on, while MSS you get a firmer ride.

Pick which benefit appeals to you more

I’m running the widest on 19 inch wheels on MSS without any issues.
