Question springs any good?

hey guys im new to site just always reading and learning . ive read various posts over springs and always see same results over which brands to use on lowering springs. but i just got to know if these springs on ebay are any good. and yes im on a budget for now so these are temporary just till the end of the year

No. Save your money. Get Eibach, or Tein, Progress, H&R. Even for temp purposes, why waste the money for a year.

I agree, if you're only a year out, don't waste money on transitional junk. When the money and time falls in your hands, invest in name brand springs and quality shocks like Tockicos or Konis.

Re: springs any good?

alright thanks guys makes sense to just put the good stuff in. do you guys know of a site or somewhere i can get springs for lower price other than ebay? i feel like i might get ripped off on ebay and buy imitation springs.

also i want like an inch and a half drop, could i run those on stock struts? and how long will it last?

thmotorsports.com

Free shipping over $100, use coupon code "5offfive" for 5% off. I think that coupon code still works

edit: You can run a 1.5 inch drop on stock struts.. but it's like a ticking time bomb.. I'd make sure the next thing I'd save for was a set of quality struts that can handle the drop like tokico blues. A couple good springs that would give you that drop are the Tein S-Techs (1.3"/1.4" F/R) and Eibach Sportlines (1.4" F/R)

Also, keep in mind that if you go that route, you'd spend money on alignments twice, so that's an extra $100 or so to factor in each time you install suspension components. So if you do springs/struts in one go, that's $100. Springs, then struts, that's $200 in alignment costs..

Re: springs any good?

I say you get those eBay springs...

That way, when they fail we can make a solid example of you and show other ppl who want to cheap out on suspension why they shouldnt cheap out
