if you are just getting the springs for the lowered look, then i would say go for it. But if you want to do any kind of hard driving, i wouldnt buy them.

I use them on my '97 EX sedan. They're not a performance-oriented spring; they're meant for people who want the lowered look with a comfortable ride. I've had mine for 2 years with NO sagging, uneven lowering, etc. I use them in conjunction with Koni Yellows. Since they're progressive rated, they ride extremely comfortably, even when used with OEM shocks. I don't recommend them if you're looking for excellent handling, only if you want the lowered stance without sacrificing comfort. I got mine for like $120 shipped from a Christmas sale at Import Parts.

Then get some springs that are linear rated such as H&Rs. I've used H&R Sports, and they were really nice but may not lower your car as much as you want. So if you also want the look, you might be disappointed. H&R Races are good but give a pretty substantial drop. For our car, it's around a 2.75"/2.5" drop front/rear. You'll also need high-quality shocks to use with the Races, though.

id like to get a 2 inch drop. DOn't want to do much lower because once i put a lip on the front bumper i won't be able to get in my underground parking.....2 inch drop will give me the little bit of clearance i need.
