Buying parts! Have questions!
Hey all 
I've been sitting at work here since 4 am (I work 4 am - 1 pm, UK business hours), and got a little bored, i got my paycheck yesterday, soooo i decided to buy some stuff
I just bought:
-Fujita Short Ram
-Garax 10k D4S bulbs (I want to get rid of my 8k ebay bulbs)
-Nokya Super Yellow bulbs (9006 for fogs)
-Blue LED parking bulbs (ebay, but with 10 year warranty)
I'm basically trying to replace 90% of the bulbs, besides turning signals, however i really want to know what is the best bulbs for HIGH BEAM (2005)
what do you guys use? Bulbs or LED? does the parking LED come on when the high beam does? I basically want a very blue look as i'm driving around at night, if i dont use brights.. does that mean that highbeam doesnt come on at all?
Also, i'd like to buy springs very shortly here, i do plan on doing coils once i have a bigger budget, so i dont want to spend over $200 on springs.
Megan Springs offer a 1.25" front and rear drop, is balanced out well? I've searched several threads on here and my.is, and couldn't conclude whether they are the springs that i want, they seem to be a more aggressive drop than F-Sport,
can someone comment on quality of springs and ride?
Thank you all ahead of time, looking forward to some input
Yuriy.

Good deal. When I got my paychecks, I got H&R and Sways. Waiting on next paycheck to decide on Tanabe...or keep saving towards BBS!
For High bulbs you mean the 9005 instead of 2005? The 9005 and 9006 bulbs I got Sylvania Silverstone. They're some of the brightest bulbs out there, helping me to see at night when I drive the windies because I have a lot of friends that live there, so visiting them I'm worried less now. But you can never be too ready.

if ur gonna use ur high beams and use it for vision on the road i suggest gettin bulbs if u get leds they wont bright up the road as much as hid or halogen bulbs. leds are mainly for show. i can't give an opinion on the megans but i my friend had it and it was pretty low. i took a ride with him for like 5 minutes. was pretty good just have to watch out for those bumps and potholes.
