Tenzo R springs, Before and after
Tires: Stock 215-45-18
wheels: Stock ss sc wheels
The springs are Tenzo R's that i bought off a member , for $50 shipped.
Just wondering what you guys think of em. These are just more temportary till i save up some more for Cm springs. or if i find a deal on some coilovers.
Also, after i lower my car, do i have to buy any other parts (sway bars etc) ?

Are you taking corners pretty quickly? I thought that sway bars were to help keep your tires flatter on the ground as you corner. Wouldn't lowering your car diminish the need for sway bars due to a now lower center of gravity?
I'm just speculating here waiting for an expert opinion.
From the never wrong, always trusted source Wikipedia
"A sway bar or anti-roll bar or stabilizer bar is a part of an automobile suspension that helps reduce the body roll of a vehicle during fast cornering or over road irregularities. It connects opposite (left/right) wheels together through short lever arms linked by a torsion spring. A sway bar increases the suspension's roll stiffness—its resistance to roll in turns, independent of its spring rate in the vertical direction. The first stabilizer bar patent was awarded to the Canadian S. L. C. Coleman of Fredericton, New Brunswick on April 22, 1919.["

The sway bar has more effect on stopping body roll through unwanted side to side movement, lowering your car also helps this but not as much as a thick swaybar. rear sways also help with stability in braking, cornering, acceleration and help the car understeer less.
