the more u pay the the better ull get, if ur really lookin for cheap, run through the for sale section here to see if anything is still avalible and wait till somthing comes up. the cheapest way ur lookin at is lowering springs w/o shocks, which isnt very stiff.

Are these KSport springs any good?

Noo, springs should be either H&R, eibach and some have said good things about Intrax springs but that's about it and also teins are ok which costs about $200 or so.

Don't buy the springs alone do it right and get some tokico struts to go with the springs and that's the cheapest you can go quality wise.

Only other choice and is k-sport coilovers but they cost about $800 and replaces everything so you will be done with that.

tokicos+good springs = about $500+ if needs to be replaced strut mounts=$750 and ksports coilovers=$800 and it replaces everything and best performance option, you decide what's worth it, hope this helps!!!

do you have a V6 or i4 engine, if you have the V6 you can go with tein s-tech lowering springs from a 99 toyota solara and it only costs about $165 on ebay from a good powerseller and it drops the car lovely and of course match it up with tokicos and you be set unless you want to spend more for coilovers but either than that that's it for quality options unless you go used.

Low and Stiff. Why is eibach even in that category? lol

Intrax is low enough and its stiff.

I'd go Intrax and Tein for low and stiff.

GET Tokico Struts for it to. If you dont it will be wobbly and an uncomforatable ride, much like a virgin fat girl.

So...


Springs - $200
Struts - $350


$550 if you use you old seals and strut mounts

If you want to replace them, then your paying $50 + each for the mount = $200 and then like $70 or so for just the front seals (if i remember my invoice correctly)

or

KSport Coilovers which can be gotten for $800or less on these forums new from ImageInMotion.


The choice is obvious... do it right or dont do it at all.

Well, I now know that "low" relies on the springs, and "stiff" relies on the struts...
