You can try the Spoon progressive springs. They are designed for the stock ITR shocks. One drawback = $$$

If you liked the Eibach's but want it to sit a wee bit lower, go with Tien S. Tech mediums. -I love mine. firm, yet not bouncy, and just a click stiffer than stock.

A friend of mine is planning on getting these to go with his stock shocks. Can you tell me why this setup would be bad?
Thanks.

Call up a Spoon dealer, they will tell you Spoon is the best.
Call up an Eibach dealer, they will tell you Eibach is the best.
Call up a H&R dealer, they will tell you H&R is the best.
Call up Tein dealer, they will tell you Tein is the best.

To me, there is no best springs out there, it all depended on what you want and like.

here's a pic of mine with the spoon springs
how low is that dropped when using the spoon?
would one need a camber kit when dropped about 1.75 - 2.00 inches?..
would one need a new shock to go along with it?

haha, if you call me up, I will tell you I am not available to guys!! LOL

But serious, what I said is so true.

Go call up JUN and ask who make the best cams, and then go call up Toda and ask the same question. I bet you anything that they would each give you a great lecture on what made their cams better than other cams out in the market.

And if I call you and ask who is the best tuner for Honda, I am sure you will say Spoon and not Mugen!!

So, what I tried to say here is you will rarely get an unbias answer from a shop no matter what!!
