Question
Ok so i got a few more questions. Ive been told i need to get my struts redone since work is being done down their what else do you think i should get replaced im looking at coilovers and im looking at Cusco but it looks like Kazama has some pretty decent stuff for 240s as well. If anyones ever dealt with optionimports.com please tell me what you've experienced they seem pretty reliable and legit and i might get my parts off of their site.

because most aftermarket springs lower the car, and so the springs will be shorter in length, this also applies to the rear springs.

i understand length but the width (diameter) of the springs is a lot smaller i was wondering if that had any impact on the ride?

SPL is great. I just ordered some parts from them and they were at my door in two days! Excellent customer service.
