Half as much USUALLY means half the quality..Eibach seem to be the most popular here but I have the H&R Sport springs and I love em. They drop it a little lower than the sportlines and they ride great with good handling...

okay think about it
130 and blown struts or
230 and blown struts or
1000 and adjustable year around, no blown struts, and you can find used for 600-800
in the long run, and in resale you will get more by going with coilovers

I bought the springs used for like 160...I would definitely look into them used or new....should be around the same price as the sportlines...but the drop is lower and the ride is great and it handles much better than stock...

Or for $750-900 you could have no blown struts and adjustable damping. You probably wont find many used because they rock and not too many people remove them
LMAO at Chiwanese coilovers improving resale.
Your spring of choice and Konis FTW.
Coilovers are a real easy way to screw up your handling if they arent setup properly. Not to mention that most $1000 coilovers are Chinese

there are 3 threads in the parts section for coil overs, so it's not hard... you can find ones for 750 new, that aren't made in china, yes but quality is money... and it's not hard... its all figured out for you, just adjust to the correct line

Just installed a set of Progress springs to match my progress rear sway bar and let me tell you the difference is amazing. The quality is top notch, and if you get the bar to match it it sets off well. Plus the progress ones are a progressive rate spring so the ride isnt too rough. Actually not much worse than stock over bumps.
