this is why everyone is saying go coilovers bro, even though you are trying to say you are watching your cash flow... ill bet you a million bucks after you install those springs they NEVER come out until you either upgrade to a set of coilovers or part out your car... theres no way you will be installing and uninstalling them seasonally, not to mention the fact that its pointless because your car isnt going to be SO low with regular drop springs that you wont be able to move it in bad weather.. i mean ****, if the snow is that deep that your plowing it with your gs when you go out, leave the poor girl home.
