Default Lowering Car!

Thinking about dropping the car about 2 inches...where is the best place to try and get the springs?

I think the "don't go cheap" comment might have been intended to mean, don't go cheap by just getting springs, spring for better struts too (no pun intended ). I rode on monroe sensatracs for a year with H&R sports and while the ride was decent, hitting a bump in the middle of a turn could get semi-scary.

Basically: pay more for the good stuff now (total package) and your life will be better later.

E-Bay does have good stuff, but the cats on E-Bay are trying to get store price for there items. Forget E-Bay and get it from a local Nopi or Get one of those Import Magazines, and order from them. I have some Neuspeed Yellows. 1.8 Drop. Don't forget to get your Camber kit too. Alot of people tell you springs but forget the important suff like Camber kits. Do it right the first time. E-Bay if you want. Just my 2 cents. LOGICAL

get good quality springs, neuspeed or eibach for the most part.....do not buy no name springs, YOU WILL hate yourself later, not to mention the fact that they'll likely hurt your handling instead of helping it due to poor spring rates.
