Springs won't fit 05. You will need to get a full coilover set up. If they have begun to make spring for the 05 then get tein or H and R.

they are teins and they are way better the omnipower. I don't even think omnipower is japanese. they look like hayame coilovers. Teins are really good stuff. But the best thing that I can advise you is to wait to drop it. because companies who make coilovers or any kind of suspension part for a new car can have problems on them. so I would wait. Mugen SS would be something good to look at too. You kind of have to ask yourself what you will be doing with the car, like just daily drive or auto x.

I recommend Tein if you are looking for just lowering springs (or neuspeed) or the new Omni-Power Coilovers that will be out in about 2 weeks. Let me know if you have any questions.

My mom doesn't give me money. I work alot and I spend my own money. Teins are great springs and coilovers but I would just wait for like 6 months so everything gets worked out with your suspension. by that I mean getting all the little differences worked out in the suspension.

DO you have TEIN on a ep3. and if you do.do you have any problames with keeping them tight. or any alignment problems. and how low do they set the car. max up to max down. I'm going to get some on wednesday but i heard that they were being recalled on all ep3's and dc5s.

YEa i have the Flex on my car and no problems with them, its set at 8 all around for the stiffness because that is what is recommended for daily driving, but it rides nice and my coils are not set all the way to the bottom i can still slam the front and rear.
