Default Springs or Coilovers?

I am looking to eliminate the wheel gap on my stock ITR, I dont have the money for a full coil-over setup....eg: APEXi N1 or Tanabe Sustec. Which setup is better for me? Which setup is better for the ITR? A good set of springs or good set of skunk2 or ground control coil overs. If you guys have any pics or experiences to share with springs or coils that would be great.

If you just want looks, then get some H&R's or Eibach's. They work well with stock shocks and will make the car a lot lower. Your performance will not suffer, but you might have to get a camber kit. I had Eibach's on my Neon with stock springs they worked out great, my brother has the car now. If you want performance only with some good looks then coilovers.

Tein springs also work well with stock shocks.

Spoon springs are perfectly design for your stock shocks. It's more than any other brand but precision quality and superior spring rates.

I don't have prices handy so please email me at ben@aj-racing.com

These springs are progressive and it lowers about 20-25mm.

I got skunk 2 coilovers on my GS-R for 250 installed. however, that was just the adjustable base and the coil spring. I love that set up, your factory shocks will go out in about a week, so you will start to bounce, but it gives you more time to save for the shocks/struts

whatever you do, dont put skunks on your car. The ITR deserves so much more than that.....
