Default Springs question

I have an 2006 is 350 and I want a drop but cant afford coils. Which springs offer the lowest drop and what are the best quality for a decent price?
Last thing, do I have to buy shocks if I go with lowering springs?

Thanks guys

I think Road magnets are the lowest if i'm not mistaken..?! Close to a 2 inch drop i believe.
Swift and H&R's are around Inch and a half drop I think. Any of these brands (including Eibach) are worthy lowering springs.

You do not have to buy shocks if you go with lowering springs.

I have H&R, and the drop is subtle, but sweet. not too tucked, but it sounds like that is the look you are going for. Love my H&R's.

I just replaced my springs, nothing else. It rides great.

I have road magnet springs and I love them!! I'm on 20" right now and they almost tuck but I did have to pull and roll the fenders and quarters.. When I was on 18"s I didn't do any fender work to it and did not rub at all I say go road magnet they still make the ride smooth

H&R!! Had them since day one and they are still awesome! Eventually I'll be switching over to coils though

The cost of springs + shocks will be as much (or even more expensive) than coilovers.

Save up for coils
