Default i need opinions

Well I dont have much money for coilovers, but I do have enough for springs. So I was wondering what kind of springs I should get? I want my car to have an agressive stance, but not too low to the ground. So what would you guys recommend?

According to my friend Skunk2 springs work great with the stock shocks.

i think you should go with some skunk adjustable coilovers and later when you have more money get some nice shocks my bro had them on his DC2 and they were good for the track he got some good traction like that but i think they they ride kinda stiff i dont know i dont like tien that much maybe some H&Rs would be good i had them for a while i had the black ones it looked good until my shocks blew and then i just got some coilovers off my friend for cheep

Tein S-techs, I guess.

I'd recommend you save your money and buy shocks and springs together though. Koni Yellows + Eibach Sportlines are a tried and true combination.

i have an 02' Type-S and i bought the Neuspeed Race coils. and they work like a charm for 179 dollars. they lowered my 2.5" in the front and 2.2" in the rear.

the ride quality is pretty nice , its a little bumpy on not so flat streets.

the handling is superb , you can cut corners like some CHEEESE!

Thanks for the compliment, i couldn't have regreted the way it looks and rides. These pictures don't do much for the way it really looks in person but alot of my friends love the drop. Not too high, not too low. Just perfect

Gotta think about setting of your color. If you add the carbon fiber hood it would look sick and you will get more people to look. I will be getting my carbon fiber trunk and my carbon fiber ITR wing with the A-Spec duck bill. As for the springs yes they come in pairs, one set for the front and the 2nd set for the rear. When you install them look at the diagram on where to cut the bump stop. Other than that enjoy the ride.

High End Performance here in Ventura County California. I got it for a good deal considering I am a prospect for Team Auto Concept. You might of seen some of their cars on superstreet like that Gold Supra that was on one of the issues. Trying to build the car for all show and all go
