Default What springs to get?

Hey guys i don't know what springs to buy for my lude, i'm lost right now. I don't know whether to get progress lowering springs, skunk2 lowering springs, or tein s tech springs, and some other springs called sprint springs? I already bought tokico hp struts. But i don't know what springs to get. I heard progress is a really good brand.

Is there a reason Eibach and H&R aren't on the list?

Get eibach pro-kits or H&R sport springs. Those are all very similar and will go well with your HP shocks. the drop on them isn't wild, only about 1.5". The shocks you got are just oem replacements, they weren't really meant for lowering.

as for me I'm on tokico illumina shocks with H&R sport springs.

And if you're going to get a camber kit, you should wait 2 months for skunk2 to finish making an entire new control arm for our preludes.

eibach all the way. perfect height if you do not want slammed, and good handling, especially when paired with good shocks.

I only have enough for progress sprins, however with around $30-40 more i could get eibach springs. I was looking at those today. So now i'm thinking of eibach pros. Thanks for the info guys.

yea the pro kits are good. do not go with the sportlines tho cuz they are pretty much for show. i had the pro kits first, took them off and put on sportlines. big mistake. they are too soft for how much they lower the car. when i'm not bottoming out the chassis then i'm bottoming out my shock travel which we all kno is very bad. luckily i still have the pro kits which i will be putting bak on as soon as the winter is over and i put my car bak on the road. pro kits

Nuespeed springs are cool I have the green ones with 17's 215/45 tires and for the drop 1.5 and rear 1.7 its perfect for that not extremly low but it does the job. The sport ones (yellow) will drop it lower

Well i decided to get the eibach pro kit. I mean might as well get something good, we're talking about handling, so might as well get something you know is good.
