AE92 Good choice of springs ~200

I have a 1988 corolla GT-s and im thinking of getting some better springs. I saw some Eibach springs that have a 1 inch drop front and rear for the 88-92 AE92's. Anyone find any better deals? With same quality or around there. Without having to buy new shocks and all that stuff.

If you're shocks are still original, you will end up having to buy a new set as old shocks will not like the lowering drop.

Eibach is a good brand but it's only a 1inch drop, which basically makes no difference in ride height on the car all other brands are 1.6inch and up, APEX is another brand that makes high quality springs, they're hard to find but if you do they're good. B+G are OK from what I hear, stay away from Suspension Techniques or Intrax though, they don't have the best reputation out there.

If price is no object, I'd go with the K-Sport Coilovers, around $900 or more for all 4.

Hey after I get my JIC coilovers, I can sell you my Eibach or Intrax setup for a lot cheaper. Eibach's will work with basically any good-reputable struts. Intrax will have to require Koni Yellows as they go LOW. With Intrax I can tuck my front tires in a bit. Looked awesome, too bad I didn't get Koni Yellows then. KYB are basically like stock-replacement but a lil bit better.

Let me know! You can email me at azntiger86x@hotmail.com

KYB GR2s are pretty much almost like stock replacements, they're not bad.

Tokico HP's are also pretty common, they run a little bit stiffer.

Koni yellows are a good choice as well.
