Kastigir Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 eBay springs are typically crap. Go with a reputable brand and dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quake Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I've got eibach's in mine....but....they tend to be a bit on the steep side....performance on them is great though......i've seen them considerably cheaper online..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C92hatchX Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 you get what you pay for, do you want cheap crap that will ride crapty or spend the money and have a nice drop with a nice rid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 google search and it will give you a bunch of sites...then compare... very cheap ones are usually not good... try craigslist for used ones? If it's a good quality, it will last... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C92hatchX Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 you could get tein s techs for like 80 more dollhairs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRG7 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 You're going to be looking to spend $100-300 on a decent set of springs. A good budget spring is Sprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 There are only a handful of springs that will work on stock shocks without blowing them. Among those are Tein S-tech's, H&R Sports, Eibach Sportlines. Getting something like Skunk2's will blow your stock shocks pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think it is crazy to go cheap on suspension. For one, that is going to be the ride characteristics of your entire car that you are messing with. Is this really a smart place to cheap out? This isn't like getting a ebay intake or muffler, this is a pretty vital part of the performance and safety of a car. Personally, the ONLY springs I would ever use on stock shocks would be Tein S-tech's. They are the only ones (besides H-tech's) that are actually designed to run with stock shocks. You'll get stock like ride quality, with slightly improved handling, nice drop and shocks that don't blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Tanabe sells springs for certain vehicles with little drop, and slightly more than stock spring rates. I'm grabbing a set for the Celica because I want to keep decent ride quality for the daily, without too much drop. http://www.advancespeedshop.com/tanabe-nf2...017-p-9781.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quake Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 and also depending on how low you lower it....if its going to be more than an inch....you'll need a camber kit to compensate.....it will be out of range of adjustment for the stock camber......you'll be burning through tires......

Just make sure to buy your s-tech's from a reputable dealer. Stay away from ebay for this one. 90% of the S-tech's on ebay are fakes (badged as s-techs) and are not real tein's.

adamEj6 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 extend your OEM top hats then buy some skunk 2's sleeve coilovers. then you can use them on the stock struts and not blow them, but still be lower. you feel me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
