Why did you settle on those springs? I'm pretty sure there's alot better options than those.

Well, if they're cheap... they'll be a good temporary setup if you are lookin into getting some coilovers. But, I wouldn't recomend Sprint. I had them on my BMW, and well, they sucked. It almost felt/heard like they weren't even for my car even though their customer service said they were. But, you get what you pay for.

cheaping out on suspension for the purpose of "lowering" is dangerous and stupid. re-evaluate and save for something better. make sure you get some new struts too.

people have had a lot of success with the setup i am currently running; kyb agx with tein s-tech springs. its simple and gets the job done.

on the other hand, you could do Nismo S-tune coilovers (non-adjustable) if you want a package deal.
