just to let you know not hearing anything is a bad sign. i wouldnt trust such an important part that might possibly fail or not work propperly (sag.. be soft.. etc)

 

all right i might can gather up about another $100-200
and get some tein basic coilovers would that be any better?

 

Springs are soft and you will be bouncing all over the place. 240's also only have 3 inches of suspension travel and with springs, you will be hitting the bump stop which you do not want to do.

So here's the deal, once you drop money on springs and some good shocks that wont blow out, you will have spent around $500. For that price, you can get a good used set of coilovers which will give you fully adjustable ride height, camber, and dampening.

Save up for coilovers, if you cant afford them now, wait. Just ask for the money instead of the springs.

Coilovers are dramatically better than springs, I just got finished with my coilover install and it made a HUGE difference in handling. Up next, sway bars.
