I have TEIN CS coilovers and ride just like stock without the float. I wouldn't even bother with springs. I wasted some money on Tanabe NF's and DF's before the TEINS.

I personally don't feel that springs are the worst thing in the world like everyone is making them out to be.


It all depends on what your budget is. and how much of a drop you want.. If you live in NYC I don't suggest that much of a drop.

But if you can afford coilovers get them.
If not, springs like the Eibach, or Tanabe NF210 which isn't as much of a drop as the DF210 is what I'd suggest.
