Lowering Springs
 
What brands do you guys recommend? Will these affect the 1LE handling in a negative way? 1" to 1.5" lowering?

I'm not going to pony up for coil overs.

I went with BMR 1.4" springs. Should be going on this week. It definitely won't make any negative differences. The ride may be more stiff... But who cares? Lol!

Apex took over Pfadt's springs and have them on their website under the Apex name now, if that appeals to you

Get pfadt springs. Under the Apex name like mentioned above.
They're 1.25" all around.

I went with Pfadt and I have zero complaints. The look is perfect.

What are the Apex provided spring rates front and rear?

Exactly. It doesn't say on their web site.

Well do we know what the pfadt rates were?
Because they're gonna be the same as that, right?

Do any of you guys know anything about 'Ground Force' lowering springs? I know a 1LE owner installed some recently and his initial reaction and review was very positive. All I know is it was a 1" drop all around. Prior to his post in 1LE facebook group, I hadn't even heard of Ground Force. Apparent they won 2011 SEMA product award.

I've heard BMR 1" springs with good results.

29er 04-22-2014 11:58 AM

thought the springs that got apex were all 1.4".............

i would go for 1 to 1.25. not more.

I went with the Pedders Sport Ryder Springs 220032/220033 and am very happy with appearance and ride. I even did the 'wife' test, took her for a ride without her knowing what changes had been made. She said it feels like it did before, did you change anything?
I also added the pedders permagrin kit. Yes, it does give you permagrīn.

These are what I really want. Can these still be purchased from anywhere?
