What lowering springs are good for a 240? I can't go for a full suspension upgrade right now and i'm not ghetto enough to cut my springs... What springs do you suggest? i'm looking to lower my car 1 to 1.5 inches I don't want to just throw on $20 ebay springs unless they are quality... Thanks!

check out Tein H-Tech... not sure if you have an S13 or S14... but for S14, it lowers 1.3in f and 0.9in r... you can get them off eBay really cheap too... from what i've read, they're really good, several people with our cars have them

check out the suspension sticky, it has lots of info about springs and other suspension parts

2nd for the H-Techs, supposedly slightly softer than stock and dirt cheap on eBay!

Yeah it's an S13 I was looking at the ones on ebay and I figured there would be a huge difference in quality because some are so cheap... ok thanks guys! if anyone else has anything to add please do so.

I would get the S techs over the Htechs, just because the H. techs are way too soft for me. If I had a choice to go with a lowering spring I would have to go with RSR race springs, but then again they would wear out your stock shocks rather quickly so its pretty much a toss up.
