Default CAN'T PICK ONE, need help

Well I am going to buy the Tokico D-specs but am not sure what springs I wnat to run... I don't want to go to low and have camber issues but want to go low enough that it will be noticable. Please help me deside, I like the teins but the drop is not that significant, I had the eibach sportlines on my old car and they were ok, I here great things about hotckins. just so much to choose from. Or should I just buy the Tokico kit with there springs?

thanks

Jonathan

You'll need camber arms with the Tokico springs too. I have Hotchkis with tokico shocks, pretty good, but I'd like a little more of a drop......

Mixed feedback with Tanabe GF210s, great looking drop, some say their car is in spec, others, way off! I almost went with them, but played safe with Hotchkis in the end Tein and RS-R are pretty mild like the Hotchkis too.....good luck!

maybe I will just stick with tokico springs and by the kit, because it lowers about an inch and I'm sure compliments the shocks better.

so since I am going to lower my car about and inch, I know I need to buy a rear camber kit, will I have to buy a front one or would I be fine?

thanks

depends on your wheel specs and size, and depends on what you mean by "in spec". If by in factory spec, no you won't be. But that is also not a bad thing...these cars love a little camber both front and rear. Toe on the other hand they do not like. Front toe is factory adjustable, rear is not, and it's why the SPC is a great bang for the buck way to deal with the rear alignment issues that result from dropping the car
