As some of you know i posted a thread about which springs i should buy for my 13, but i've been thinking and i'm really confused on what to buy. First i was gonna get sportline springs with kyb agx's, but thats too big of a drop, so then i was thinking either H&R springs, or pro kit springs, or whiteline, or the hks ones with the kyb ag's, but i don't know which ones to get. then someone told me i should just get the Tein basics but those are a little more expansive. does anybody have any other sugestions? My goals are to lower the cars center of gravity and get rid of that big wheel gap, but i don't want to lower to the point where i will have to adjust the camber because it will be too negative. I also want something that handles better without sacrificing drivability too much (our street are horrible) so i'm really in a big dilema and don't know what to get so any help would be greatly appreciated.:help

Thanks in advance.

you will need an alignment to correct your camber after you lower your car any amount. i wouldnt think either eibach kit would lower enough where an alignment wouldnt bring it back into specs, if not the rear should be close. any springs that would match well with agx's should be fine over bumps.

I also have a 91 and had a built 89',,, from what i know about the car and you likings, my oppinion would be: whatever spring you get, MAKE IT ADJUSTABLE. so you can still put it up to fac hight, but you can also go way down for show or one night. ,,simply put, if you lower it any more than 1/2 an inch, you need align, and these cars are very limited at aligning,,, I am currently working on a bolt on rear system that makes all of the parts adjustable, hopfully soon i will be able to get them out for sale to everyone that might want them xdreamz

i have a 95, maybe its different, but i lowered my rear almost 2" and an alignment was able to bring it back into specs. the front was lowered also, but i have a camber plate, i think the front has a greater range than the rear.

A good matching combo is the tein stech and kyb agx's. Just a real mild drop

A basic World Sport damper system only costs $700 or so. (Not much more than AGX/springs). No clue how it handles though--or even what the rates are.
