what do you want out of the springs? you want the best look from a drop, or the best performance for handling?

Cost and brand will differ with your choice of the above question.....

so your looking for looks then... i would go with the eibach dude... i think their like 260 bucks on the net.. ksport is around 130 . . i went with D2 springs . . cuz it's a even drop for the front and rear .. 2inch all around... d2 and ksport are from the same company also..

O its a sport . . . nevermind then... my bad my bad...

cant really have both... the ones that lower for looks, you will think its a "better performance" but they are just lower, thats why. They will ride bouncy, hard and may not work well with rebound on the shocks. Also you'll get bump steer a bunch. They will also wear out the shocks/struts faster.

If you want a moderate drop with best handling, the turbocharged SS shocks and struts paired with the Pedders springs will give you the best handling hands down, for the price. They just drop have a dramatic drop.
