I'll have to end up doing the same for now. I only have 22k miles on my stock ones." Autobots are an error I intend to correct"

get lowering springs based on what drop you want and what area you drive in. lowering springs all have about the same spring rates so it doesnt matter which one you choose. handling will not be much different. teins are soft.htech- 162/129Originally posted by blue LEDzi'd save up for brand name springs. like these teins for $156. i've got the S-techs on my car and love them

my theory is that lowering springs are just slightly stiffer than stock just to make up for the slight decrease in length. same performance just better look.

how much you wanna drop your ride?
if you looking at the 1" range then i would recommend the mazdamp3 springs, the racing beats. they are not so lowered and handle really good IMO
but then as many said, get some brand name and enjoy them
hope that helps a little
(sorry, i am in a rush and wanted to put my input in it)
