Default inexpensive springs for my car

ok so i have a 98 hatch im lowering, but im on a budget and i dont want to spend taht much on springs. soo the one i found is off the jdmboy website and its about 100 dollars with adjustable perches to adjust the height of ur car. and it would just go with stock struts and stock shocks, but the problem is i dont know if i should buy it! does anyone know if it would be bad for my car at all?? do you know if it'll break on me??
please help! thank you

Progress Technology or H&R would be my first choices.

for 2 bills, you can't afford dampers, a used set of spring and alignment will cost you about that much minus the installation fee.

go with something mild drop with close to oem springrate

eibach prokit would get my vote, some older used s tech are known for sagging.

personally never had any luck with H&R's product myself(chucking on progressive spring drives me crazy, too soft for the drop=bouncy)

I had the opposite experience with the eibachs. i hated them. Replaced them with h&r sports and was much happier with ride quality and handling. Both were used with koni yellows. Car also never set level with the eibachs.
