what kind of springs did u get? The dress up master?

likely they are just a mild spring for street use and will probably lower anywhere from 1.5 inches to maybe 2.

i have tein basic coilovers currently but i like my koni setup a whole lot better for handling.....its good all around stuff for street use tho....im sure you will be happy.....just look into swithching to high performance shocks sometime in the future.

well, if the springs are a lot stiffer than factory, they may not last long....but i am not too familiar with the dress up spring rates.....if the ride feels similar to stock, however with not too much bounce...then you should be good for a while.

if you are looking to upgrade might i suggest KYB AGX if they make em for ur application....not too expensive.....then next i would go with tokico illumina then koni or bilstein....
