Kazera StreetSport Springs.. A good deal or bad idea?

Just saw on TireRack they have a closeout special for the StreetSport springs.. $100 gets you on average a 1.8" drop F/R.

Is this a good deal or no?

My next question is I drive on the interstate and downtown Louisville, KY everyday, would this make taking bumps a real PITA?

Thanks,

John

Dont buy Kazera, but search "for sale" forums for used brand name springs: Tein, Eibach, H&R, Neuspeed and so on...
Spring is a spring, nothing realy will happen to it even if its used.

You made me confused now...
Your main post says:

Were you talking about wheels?

Sorry, I didn't mean to confuse, no you said to stay away from the Kazera StreetSport springs, I was just commenting that I have found some Kazera wheels however, that I am considering very seriously (Black KZ-As)

You changed you mind, I see.

Kozera is just a company that makes rims. Dint hear anything bad or good about them.

Only know that "Car and driver" had a set of Kozera rims with winter tires on their long-term rx-8.

Well, overall I'm torn between three options for a first mod:

Exhaust, wheels, or lowering.

I'm more and more pushing lowering out of the equation, but I have 5 exhaust choices (I'll just post another thread in another sub-forum), which makes this REALLY hard to decide )

Thanks for reading!

John

+ Rep for you

For Wheels: $1400 (18" is a must)
Suspension: I'd like to keep it under $600, but thats probably impossible.
Exhaust: I've decided on Megan's Full Kit, sothats gonna run about $600.

Kazera is just TireRack's store brand. Aftermarket companies make the "Kazera" stuff for TireRack to rebrand and sell. Look around on tirerack.com, I think a popular manufacturer makes the Kazera suspension stuff, I don't recall who though. Buy with confidence if that's about the drop you want.
