So I just got new rims n tires on it about 2-3 months ago and now I want to lower it... For the meantime I just want to do springs dropped on stock shocks and then in the future I can get coilovers. What Springs are decent and not to expensive to get? So Far The Top Three choices I have are Tein S, H & R, and Tanabes... What you guys think???

 

looks like u have it planned out. pull the trigger

 

i would say just go with coilovers but if you want springs go tein s or h&r..

 

half *** it now or do it properly later?

 

IMO save up for coilovers. But if you cant wait id go with H&R considering that they are the lowest that you can go before coils. I am running Tein-S techs which is pretty low now but i want to go lower. LOL so just do it right the first time as they say.

Moved to proper forum

 

awfully hard to make a suggestion when you have not given any info as to what year car you have, how many miles you have, how much of a drop you're going for.....

 

I would say save for coilovers. In the meantime, spend some valuable time in the brake and suspension forum. It would be time well spent.

 

I have Eibach Prokit - good value for the money until you go to coil overs or something else. I had an alignment done after that at the dealer. It came into spec. w/o front or read toe/camber kits.

 

This question has never been asked. Thanks for breaking new ground. lol.

anyway, how low do you want to go? would you prefer progressive or linear? how much stiffer do you want your ride? what year is your car?

 

Am i missing something?

 

+1 I've had tein h tech, S tech, hotchkiss, and currently running tanabe's..... I liked tanabe GF210 out of all of them. If you can wait, get coilovers, it'll be worth it down the road...

 

I have a 05 enthusiast, 6 speed with 29,000 miles on it. I'm looking for about a 1.75inch drop in the front and a 1.5 in the back... just enough to close the gaps for the meantime.

 

yeh thats what everyones telling me but idk im just undecided... i want to lower it hella bad but at the same time i would be spending more money switching to coil over...

 

o ok... yeh the shop i go to the guys hooking me up with those 400$ installed with alignment but i though i look at H & R's and tein's just to so how much of a difference there was in price

 

then you need save for coilovers

those heights are way too extreme to run on stock, or aftermarket struts. You will have next to 0 suspension travel left, and your car will handle worse than it does now

 

Lower if you're just doing to DD and nothing more... Go coilovers if you're going to do some crazy tracks or what not.

^^This. I currently run S-techs though and I'm happy with them. They drop, according to advertisements, .5 all around and they shift stiffness from the rear to the front (my favorite part about them).

In addition to coilovers you'll probably want to price camber kits and a rear toe kit if you want to drop it a lot. You can rack up a $2k bill pretty quick just for those things.

 

I was thinking of getting these springs just for the meantime... http://www.tanabe-usa.com/nf210.asp?id=2 Are they good as the GF210???
