Default Spring Installation

How much would it cost to get springs installed? I'm looking for somthing that lowers around 1/2" to 3/4". I'm located in Southern California.

Also, do I need a camber kit for the rear for a relatively small drop?

You should be more than fine with those conservative numbers.

Anything over an inch or roughly 0.8 in the back and you might need the SPC camber arms/ toe kit.

Will springs start "sagging", and how long are most warranties?

Should I go with Tein-S, Hotchkis, RS-R Down?

I doubt they'll sag to the point where they diminish your ride. The names you've mention are very reputable so if any sag occurs, you could probably contact them about it.

What are you looking for?
A little Tracking, Aggressive driving, daily driving springs?

I know the Hotchki's go with the stock struts/shocks really well.

BhashaZ,

Hit me up for more info. I am the guy we met long time ago for the leather installed.

I have the hotchkiss and you don't need camber kits.

I had H&R's in my '04, and they're like a 1.5 inch drop after settling. The camber was still within factory spec. Anything lower will need camber kits though.

The springs and install were about $550 or so. But, I bought them through Les Schwab. You can get a better deal if you look around.

I am looking just to lower the car a bit to decrease the wheel gap. So basically you would categorize them as daily driving springs.

Tractng: PM'd you.
