On another topic, vendors should not be responding to these sorts of questions becuase it's obvious your pushing your own products.

Let, experiences of your customers speak for your products.
These are some old threads you're pulling out of the archives... Back in january there weren't many drop springs out there, so any info was good info.

We've learned a LOT from mfg. reps, so as long as they're in a thread asking "which is best" we may get some insight as to which really IS best.

Then post up a thread that asks the manufacturers NOT to repy. You forget that not only are the PAYING to be here, they are members as well. Their opinion is just as good, if not better, than anyone elses here. As members they can post where they like.

I get they are paying to be here in the Vendor section, this is the tech section not the Merketplace. Their opinions are biased and seem to all end with my product is better and if you buy something else, you're clueless. They want to provide tech knowledge fine, but ease up on my product is the only one to use. By the way, I see you got one of the named providers stuff on your car, so hmmm, I'm guessing you're not biased either.

the vendors opinions on this topic are wantred and needed on this thread. They have the knowledge and experence with these products to give facts abouit them which is a little more useful than some guys a$$ dyno opionion about products....but those a$$ dyno's are welcome info too.

All thoughts and opinions are welcome as long as they contribute to the thread and help answer the OP's question.....now throwing in these types of critical remarks don't really help the OP so let's all just keep it movin' bro

No i'm not biased against anyone elses springs. I researched and came to the decision as to what company I bought from. I've never said Pedders was crap and actually have posted the opposite. I give my opinion on the ones I have while not bashing the other guys. Do you really think a guy that just spent $2k+ on Pedders parts is going to say he wishes he had gone with Pfadt or vise versa? No they won't. By your last sentence, anyone that has a set of aftermarket springs is biased towards their choice. That means NOBODYS opinion should be trusted.
