Re: (Eran)
what are adjustable SPRINGS?
you mean coilovers?
i wouldn't trust my life on $95 coilovers. if you're going to go the spring route, my personal favorites are H&R Race springs. i've had them on all of my cars, and i LOVE them.

Re: (OnePointFive)
Dont ask me.. You could check out the site yourself and see. robearracing.com
ok thanks for your input.
One more thing. Is it worth spending alot of money on full coilover if you only race your car at the track 2 or 3 time a year? My friend said just get some decent springs and used my stock shocks since i dont really race my car.
I just want it be a lower stance and maybe put up a decent time down the 1/4 mile. What are your views?

You're not going to appreciate the ride quality on those sleeve type coilovers on stock or stock replacement shocks. The powder coating cracks and flake fairly easily and the plastic top hats they come with deform easy and get noisy over time.
You're better off saving for something that you'll appreciate more. There have been mixed reviews about omnipower coilover sleeves but they ride better than the megans ever did on the same struts.
The general consensus is to go Ground Control / koni for adjustability.
EDIT:
Also, if you plan on lowering your car anymore than two inches, you may want to invest in extended top hats or searching for a DIY...
