Cobb Springs VS Perrin Springs

sti05ak · 12-10-2006, 10:33 AM

Which Is Better?

What Would You Go With?

seattle sti · 12-10-2006, 12:00 PM

+1 for COBB

Yeah I have Cobb so you can guess what I am going to say. I really havn't seen Perrin springs I don't think. I know they advertise as much drop if not a little more then the Cobbs, which is what you are looking for but I can't recall one review of them here. Did you come up with any info from searching? Did you consider whiteline flatout springs too, they drop quite a bit as well. Whiteline is a pretty reputable company.

off topic but do you really have 7 cars?

I got the cobbs...... in my trunk. I need to get my lazy ass up and install them. +1 for cobbs

im interested too. cobb springs are direct bolt up to the stock struts and everything right? nothing needed? no group n strut mounts needed?

INNOVA · 12-17-2006, 02:14 PM

Yes they are a direct bolt on. Took two of us 5 hours to put them on though... Pain in the ass but the drop is excelent... not too much.

j87w · 12-17-2006, 03:58 PM

Ill second that there a direct bolt on. I Just got done installing them last nite. They look great and ride way better than stock. I love them.

Boxer112 · 12-17-2006, 04:08 PM

j87, where are da pics??

INNOVA · 12-17-2006, 06:34 PM

This is right after they got put on... only like 1/2 hour or so so they haven't completely settled but you can see how level the front end is compared to stock. The front end almost looks lifted riding on stock springs. This is how the car should have come from the factory.

Here is stock

Here are the fresh cobb springs:

The handling department got quite a boost with the Cobb's. Near-zero body roll and understeer has been cut in half. I have zero complaints about the ride.

Cobb Springs here. A nice even drop, firms it up real nice. Although i'm going with RCE springs in the spring... i've heard too many good things about them to not get them. Cut the bumpstops!!!

INNOVA · 12-18-2006, 03:11 AM

I didn't cut anything and have no problems. No squeeks, clanks, pops etc... handles great, What is cutting the bump-stops supposed to prevent?

arguably its supposed to preserve some of the bump travel in the front struts. Now if you read the "all cars ride on the bumpstops" also in this section of the forum then you should technically be literally riding on compressed bump stops, the only travel you have is squishing the bump stop more or less. I don't know. I cut mine half an inch as recommended by the GF210s and didn't pull them apart to cut more for the Cobbs and I think they ride pretty good.
