you mean lowering springs....whats your budget? any stock replacement shock will suck. Unless you want to save the most amount of money, i'd just pick up used stock shocks and call it day. Just keep in mind you get what you pay for.

edit....your not running the actual coilover springs right????

first off you should not be running coilover springs on any car at all bro. They are too short and not meant for that kind of use.

whats your budget?

Yeah that doesn't sound like a very good idea. You should probably look into getting some descent springs then too.
