Just save up and get the Megan Coilovers. I'm sure if u install those u will be bouncing all over the place.

You can tell those springs are for the bounce house feel. Go for tanabes if you're gonna buy lowering springs, but as the first reply says, just save for coilovers.

Do it right the first time. If you want to go low pickup some used coils for under $600 bucks if you aren't too serious about your build. Buying these will just be more head ache down the road (and more trouble than it's worth installing compared to coilovers which just drop in and out).

Not to point fingers but these opinions are from those who don't have the springs installed and just knocking the Megan brand. Spring rates can tell a lot but you'll never really know until they are installed. Coilovers are a great option for going really low but if that means saving up 5x the amount of money, it's hard to even compare the two. Springs are great for a mild drop and to rid of the wheel gap, hardly any performance, so it depends on what you want out of your car. I had H&R springs on Bilsteins and was very happy with the drop and the ride was practically stock.
