I'm going to get lowering springs, I'm debating on Tein S-Tech or Megan. I want a spring that's going to work well with my stock shocks as well. If anyone has a personal preference please feel free to let me know. I don't want to buy a spring I wont be happy with. I'd like A good drop, nice ride, that will work with 18 inch rims with low pros, that aren't known to sag too early on. : )

Might also want to check out the Tanabe DF210 springs.

I looked into those, I like them. Thing is I can't upgrade my suspension for awhile, at least a few months... I was told the Tanabes I should upgrade with soon...

I love my tein s techs but I do have 15 in wheels with lots of tread

I do have 118,000+ miles and I need new shocks and struts
Only cause of daily abuse and I am above reccomended replacement

I went with S-Tech's and I'm also on 18"s and everything else is stock, just the springs.

Ride quality is superb!

You may want to look at the Eibach sets. I used them for many years. There are very few spring companies out there that actually make their own springs. Eibach makes springs for quite a few other companies as well. If you want a good ride with the lowest possible drop Eibach is the way to go.

Do a search on them, check-out their reviews. I think you'll find they offer a great spring for the money.

Eibach makes some quality products but they don't go nearly as low as others. Still a nice option if your only wanting a mild at best drop.

Well here are the stats on the most popular set ups:

Eibach SportPro: 2"F / 2"R drop perfect blanced look

Skunk2: 1.3F / 1.5R drop

Tanabe DF120: 2.2 F / 2" R drop. Lowest front drop out of all but same rear as Eibach

Tanabe NF210: 1.7 F / 1.2 R

Tein Stech: 1.7 F / 1.5 R

Ksport: 1.6 F / 2" R

So you see after review Eibach sits as one of lowest after the Tanabe Df210 and is the most balanced from front to rear. No other kits sit lower than those two.

Either kit would be a good choice.

Hope this helps you

Yeah, I ended up going with the Tanabe DF210's, gonna get some shocks later on. Was told to get the Echo's shocks. I was told that it'll be ok to roll on stock shocks for awhile, but not for like...a few years lol...
