Default recomendation on springs..

Im looking at buying springs this week, cant afford coilover so gonna just drop it with springs. I see the tanabe, tein and h&r all have the same 1.5 front and 1.0 rear drop but in honest opinions what ones have you guys used and been happy with ride quality etc..

p.s. i decided not to buy the topspeed axble back exhaust and just get 2 magnaflow #13829 mufflers with tips as will be cheaper and install at shop is cheap plus i like these tips cus they kinda look like the tanabe ones..


thanx all..

if i were to go with springs it would have to be the tanabe DF210 because it drops the lowest. 1.8 (f) 1.3 (r)... it should give you a tight 2 fingers gap if you're in 19's... and if you're on dubs, then it would give it even a better stance imo....

Are you installing the springs yourself? If you are, i suggest you replace your struts also because it's a PITA to install lowering springs believe me i've done it before and if you take it to the shop, you better off buying a coilovers because labor cost it's not cheap. I know you're on a budget and i was in the same boat as you are but if i have to do everything all over again i would go with coilovers and i learned my lesson. Bite the bullet drive it 4x4 status till you saved enough money to buy a decent coilovers and you won't regret it. Do it right the 1st time bro.
