Noob, I wanting to drop my car right now it has the oem wheels
i am not sure which company i should go
i want the tein s tech but i only have about 160 to spend
anyone else have any suggestions?

 

think you should save up for coilovers, installment on them is about 200 unless you know how to do it urself

 

I dont have money for coilovers lol
but i have a friend who can install springs and will teach me

 

For $160 there's only the ebay springs really. And you really don't want those.

Good quality springs like S-tech and H&R are going to be around $250 or more.

Used springs show up for $160 or less sometimes in the classifieds section here. That may be your best bet if that's your budget. Don't forget you'll need an alignment too after the springs settle in so factor in the cost of that too.

 

Check out the classifieds for springs. Members sometimes only use them for a couple thousand miles so they're in good shape. Usually you'll find used F-sport and Eibach springs at that price range (F-sports are really Eibachs).

But! You're going to wanna go lower. I didn't listen to other members on the forums and went ahead and got springs. Now I want to go lower! I'd say save the $160 and keep saving up for some coils. Megans go for 700-800 shipped I believe. BC Racing is another good brand that sells for under 1000.

 

i dont mind used springs as long as there is not a lot of miles on them and if they are from a good company

 

i actually got my springs brand spanking new in the classified for less than $160, but then again those dont happen often

 

my tein stechs are coming off soon as i ordered megan coils (tein springs with 7000ish miles and i bought them brand new, 140+shipping hollah at me! (may not put the coils on till april so if u find them before then dont wait up for me lol)

 

this is a dumb question and im sure it has been answered somewhere around the forum but what are the advantages of coilovoers?

 

Are you sure you can't wait a little longer to save money for a drop that you'll really like (whether it be springs or coilovers)? It will be a hassle and a waste of money if you decide later that you aren't happy with what you settled for right this moment. I urge you to do a little more research so you know better what you like and try being a little more patient. When it all comes together the way you want it, it'll be well worth the wait!

 

They are ride height adjustable and give you better handling with a sportier feel basically.

 

I think i may just wait a little longer to get coilovers i just wanted to lower my car before import alliance(i live in atl) and so yeah i just wanted to do small things to make it look good lol
but thanks so much everyone for your advice
I think i will try to save up for the BC or Megan EZ

 

likewise, I love my stechs, but mine are coming off soon, my BCs just arrived today

 

keep saving~ seriously~

 

Agreed, keep saving because installation and alignment costs $200+.
