cet coilovers then even wen they sag u wil be able 2 controll the height because if u do lower the car with just springs and u find u cant get in the driveway or in a friends place u can juat bump it up allittle until u get the height and practicality all in 1


i had my car low and is sucked u cant drive in newmarket 2 many ups and downs and ****ty roads

mine was slammed 2'' off the cround tho looked good not practikal and u wil need a camber kit 20 if u are going 2 do this job and i sugest shangeing the strurts also


the omni ones i have been told are nice

I had H&R Sport springs on my 98 Si and the front was about 1 finger, the back about 2. Anything lower will ruin your alignment and greatly shorten the life of your stock suspension components.

I've posted pics of my car, so just do a search to see what it looked like.

Moved to the correct section.

I like the look of H&R Race springs personally.. but its all preference.. do whatever you like, I'd just recommend getting shocks to go with them as well..
