I had arospeeds......wouldn't suggest them

I have ridden in a crx with sprint springs and tokico blue shocks, and it rode nice, and was also decent handling.

I have heard nothing but good things about the Eibach pro-kits.

I have heard some of the Nuespeeds were very stiff,....buteveryone would have a different opinion of whats comfortable.

As for sprint, i am completly sold on their products. My good friend has them on his DelSol, and the ride is incredible. Very, very good quality spring. The thing doesnt even feel like its dropped until u start taking turns, then it handles like a gokart. Also he has 17s, and the ride is -still- smooth. All that for around $100 i think he paid for the set.

I've always heard that Ground Control with Eiback springs are the way to go.
I think thats what I want, but if I was to spend the money I would get Teins.

thats kool to have a budget, but if you cant affor the HA's with pillows then how about getting them with out. they would run you about 1100 to 1300. but if your just looking for a good drop and some teins then i would suggest some NR's or NA's for more info about some of the Tein stuff check out there web site: http://www.tein.co.jp/ and then click english...im pretty sure it will give you all the info you are looking for there. (except for how much they cost)
