i know some people already posted this before. but i am really ready to buy myself a set of springs. i done many research and people are telling different opinions and now i dont even know what to buy for my car. i want something less than 2 inches drop and most important try to avoid buying the camber kit (any springs dont need to add the camber kit after the car is lowered)
can whoever has their car lower post their what u got, how much it lowered and honest experiences with good and bad things about them. thanks in advance.

neuspeed sport 1.7f 1.5b NOT LOW ENOUGH. ride a little bouncy but almost like stock. i could almost drive how i drive stock without scraping. camber: i have stock wheels now so i dont really care. i like them, only thing is its not low enough. i would probably go with neuspeed race if i could switch these.

I got Sprint springs, 2" drop all around...some scraping if I'm not careful over speed bumps, ride is bouncier than I'd like but then, the stock struts are weak.
Perfect traction and road holding on smooth roads...not so good on uneven/rough roads.

I would sincerely recommend that you save your money for a complete spring/strut setup--DO NOT FORGET THE CAMBER KIT. People will tell ya all kinds of reasons why u don't need it...just get it: It's always nice to have adjustable camber. If you can hold out a little longer and save some more, a true, full coil-over kit offers the best of both worlds: A firm and controlled ride + height adjustability.

Hope that helps...peace.

if you want about an 1" drop, go with the eibach pro-kit, a friend of mine has them, and they ride GREAT!

as w/ any lowering spring, you are going to change the camber of the suspension, it might not be AS noticable w/ only a 1-1.5" drop, but its never gona be perfect.....

you are also going to be placing additional loads on your stock dampers.....which will reduce the life......

i sugguest that you save your money, and wait until you can afford the koni dampers, eibach pro-kit, and specprod camber kits (150 for front and rear shipped from tornactivce) all at the same time........not only will your car ride wonderfully...youll save on the labor charges by doing everything at once

hope this helps....if you have any ?'s....pm me

I'd recommend Goldlines if you don't want to go lower than 2". They go about 1.75", so camber kit's aren't IMMEDIATELY necessary ( though I'd recommend you get them anyway ). Goldlines ride smooth, and have a nice warrenty. I've heard nothing but praise about them. You can get 'em from Tornactive.com for like 160 shipped. After that, I'd recommend some Koni yellows and a camber kit. That's just my interpretation, but IDunno: YOU be the judge.

Yes yes- Goldlines are great. I've had them for about a month, no strange noises or scraping, and I have a body kit. I can tell the camber is off now, but not too bad.

what is Goldlines springs? i never heard it before [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] Are they some kind of new company like Ractive, R1, OBX..etc?
what about Neuspeed Sport or Race? which one is good for our 7th gen sedan adn what is the difference?

i think goldlines have been around for awhile... they're not that big but i've heard their springs are pretty good. i dont think they're like ractive or obx cause personally i think their products suck. since you have a sedan tho i would go with neuspeed sports(make sure its the 4 door one). goldlines will most likely make your rear look lower then the front, and race, by looking at i think the back would be slightly lower too.

eibach......
prokit 1" drop.....hardly noticable...better handling
sportline 1.5" drop..really..noticable drop, (nice)...alot better handling

H&R
sport 1.3" drop.....rides nice....noticable drop, not as low as eibach sportline, but close.
H&R race 1.7 or something,......really noticable drop...handling better,......

ect. ect.

the more you drop, the more you sacrafice your ride quality.
the more you drop, the quicker you'll need to replace your OEM struts......
I bought H&R sport several months ago,.......when the Tein full coilovers come out I wil purchase those (adjustable height and softness/stiffness)..comes w/ struts and springs.....instead of H&R and koni's.

Its all personal preference........
How low do you want to go?(looks)
how rough do you want your ride?
what can you afford?
Are you installing aftermarket shocks/struts?
ect.ect.
