no dummy, spring is not a major factor when coming to lowering........all spring a alike (90% of time) the key point is dat look at the spring stiffness rating.....like 830lbs or 500lbs.......and u get that # compare it to how heavy your car......and then u buy the spring.......and get sum adjustable shock for rebounce control.....get sport spring.......do not get racing kit spring......they are too low,,,,,,make your car sit on bumpstop,,,,,,therefore it is really stifff, and your ride is bouncy.........

sorry no good enlgish

If you're concerened about ride bounce you should make a larger investment in the struts you buy than you're springs. O.E. struts are not made to be used with lowered springs. If you stick with your O.E. struts you will blow them in a short time anyhow and you'll have to shell more $ out for parts and service vs. having it done right the first time.
Bottom line: good springs are neuspeed, eibach, tein s.tech, maybe H&R.
Shocks: Koni yellows, Tokico Illumina; KYB AGX if you're really hurting for cash.

btlfed1 is right on. you do get what you pay for.

I also suggest new bushings on lowered rides esp. those that are a few years old. the store at Overboost.com has Energy Suspension bushings for most cars.
