Default which springs are better?

Tanabe GF210 Springs or H&R Sport Springs? i like the tanabe because it lower more, but the h& r are more so i dont know which one is better. one more question what is an easy and cheap way to cover up the trunk hole when you remove the rear spoiler? and paint?

depends on if your looking for comfort or looks. From what I gather, the Tanabes go lower but the H&Rs are more comfortable.

I wish i knew..
Theres not really a cheap way of doing it, someone on here is doing JB weld and touch-up paint.
Next week im going to go get some quotes on how much for trunk weld and repaint..


Why not go lower than gf's and H&R's
id say DF's.. their pretty comfy and it'll look better..

i agree... if you get a cheap job done, the exposed metal from the original drilling could start rusting, and rust spreads like cancer on vehicles once it starts you either have to sand down to bare metal out or cut out the area to stop it from spreading... the other day driving around manhattan i saw a gs4 with plugs that we use to hold the carpet down in his spoiler hole. i just shook my head and kept on going.
