Re: Hey!
Tein S-Techs (1.3"/1.4" F/R) $160
Eibach Sportlines (1.4" F/R) $216
Progress sport springs (1.8"/2.0" F/R) $237
Thmotorsports ships free for orders over $99, and I think coupon code "5offfive" still works for 5% off
Edit: I wouldn't recommend the last set unless you had shocks that can handle the drop. At least I can tell you from experience that stock shocks will last a decent amount of time with the Teins and, presumably, the eibachs, too.

Re: Hey!
ok.. But the problem is the only ebiach and tein i can find is the 0.7-1.3 inch drop.. I really want like 1.5-2.0 drop and tein or ebiach dont have those numbers.. Skunk is the best deal for me from the looks of it http://thmotorsports.com/store/accou...x?itemid=57063..
I will be upgrading my shocks next month but now i am just looking for springs..

Re: Hey!
if your getting better shocks next month then why not get Ground Control adjustable sleeves ??? ground control uses Eibach springs.
http://thmotorsports.com/ground_cont...t/g-53532.aspx i would also recommend pairing these with Koni Yellow shocks.

Re: Hey!
if you going to get shocks next month, buy the springs you want that the shocks you looking for can handle. the stock shocks "might" last long enough (or not, it's a lucky game).
but why not change all at the same time? alignment will need to be done anyways or you might find your tires getting strange in a month's time...

Re: Hey!
Being that your budget is $200,
You wont go any lower than ~1.5.
Please do not forget to factor in alignment costs
Any lower you're looking into shocks and camber kits, which will run you couple hundred at the very least.

Re: Hey!
Duhh lol.. i know i got money for all that but i rather save up till next month and get the whole setup, shocks, springs, camber.. But i know for sure i am not going go koni springs the ones that are 132 bucks i see alot of bad reviews about them.. I might just go 2 inch bg springs... They are the best deal for me 230 bucks but its 2.0 inch drop!
