you can get those springs alot cheaper on ebay. do you have aftermarket shocks? 18s will be no problem as long they are correct width/offset and wont rub

I can say the exact same thing.

YES! you should get new shocks with the springs, from what i've heard the Tein S techs are a bit soft. odds are if you jsut change the springs you wont feel much of a differnce.

I suggest getting a bigger sway bar for the rear and soem strut bars aswell.

kyb agx ftw, dampening would be nice, or save a little more and buy coilovers, just to let you know the drop isnt much on the stechs and ive heard they ride pretty soft..get some rsr's or eibach or something if you insist on springs..

if you get agx keep them all the way stiff, they last longer

dead serious. there is more travel with it on a softer setting so more heat and friction

Ya, I was told that if you do a drop greater then 1.2" there not ment for handling that either. That all makes sence though.

Just curious what does everyone have there setup at? I use 2 in the front then 8 on the rears.
