Default What springs should i get?

I am going to get KYB AGX shocks and need some streetable and affordable springs. I will be putting on 17'' rims as well all at the same time. I am not looking to "slam" my car...just a a reasonable drop to look good with the new wheels. So I was thinking 1-1.5 inch lowering springs with a comfortable ride. I am not going to get a camber kit either. So this amount of drop should be fine right?

So please tell me your recommendations for what would be for me.

ok, keep the recommendations coming.

But what about like Neuspeed Sport springs or H&R springs, these seem to be popular. Would they be good for me too?

Thanks Todd, I got a question for you (mike), are you going to be doing any kind or autox or track events or is this for street only?? I HIGHLY suggest getting eibach springs and ground control coilover sleeves.. Being able to adjust the ride height is very important.. Also, you can pic what spring rates you want, but for street driving, I would suggest about 275lb springs all the way around.. KYBs are great shocks for street and light performance driving (hell, i beat the **** out of mine everytime I go to racetracks)..


With just springs, you never know what your going to get..

Corey,
As of now I am involved in no auto-x or track racing. I doubt I will ever do Auto-X. Someday in the future I might want to try track racing...but thats just a small "possibility" for now. Main priority is a for the street and always will be.

I stopped thinking about getting coilovers because it is said that you need to get an alignment any time you adjust the ride height, correct? I mean how easy is it to actually lower and raise coilovers? I'm just not sure I'd ever make use of having coilovers.

Yes, you would need to get an alignment everytime you change.. In that case, I'd say go with the Eibach spring setup, about an inch drop, any more and you will run into camber problems... And check out what spring rates they send you.. Although, im sure they will be fine, good luck!
