If your going to lower your car, i suggest you do it properly...
DONT cut springs, and DONT jsut get lowering springs. I'm on Lowering springs and stock struts (very bouncy)
I'm saving up for struts, but I reccomend you do it all at once...
Just my 2 cents
hope it helps

Is it -that- much of a difference?

I've the TRD springs, and am saving up for Tokicos now. I'm not quite sure of the price of Sprint springs ($160?), but I know that the Eibach ones are roughly $250 USD. I don't think that it's that big of a price difference (~$90-$100) between the two, and since the Eibach ones have had rave reviews, I would suggest getting those.

I like the H&Rs. Its a balance between ride and drop.

sittinonseventeens, I think you should just save up for a set of Eibach lowering springs and Tokico shocks.

you want a slammed look might as well take out the springs and just ride on shocks! :roll:


but for real.. there is no cheap way of lowering your car.. either way its gonna cost you sooner or later .. just do it the right way and do it in one shot .. springs and shocks. it might seem alot but a lot cheaper in the long run... if you dont have the money .. then dont do anything at all to your car!

Right on!

I'm not gonna contribute in this thread since everyone here knows what my recommendation is toward suspension.

Elegant prefers Sprint...
