anyone used adjustable springs before?
 
hey guys i wanna lower my ride but i dont know anyone that has used adjustable springs before, anyone here used em? i am NOT a fan of spending alot of money just to fill the fenderwall gap and i just want to lower it some and i dont know if pre-cut springs will be the exact ride height that i want. (also with adjustalbe i can adjust for summer vs. new england winter)

should i get adjustable springs from ebay do they work well and how hard is it to adjust them

or should i get pre-cut springs and hope that the drop they offer is what i want.

any help is appreciated

Ebay springs suck... bad... i hated them atleast, spend some cash on good coilovers, kteller.com has omnipowers for 650 shipped, best investment i have made so far for my car.

Ive got some Aerospeed adjustable colls, basically a no name brand that can drop from 1"-4"

Im running them on stock shocks with now and they havent blown yet but Ive got some tokiko blue on the way

There perfect and you can lift your car in the winter a bit

I was never into auto-x anyways, just a few fast corners here and there. Got them for $40 so Im happy

The coil over sleeves are a bitch to adjust. Trust me you will neve adjust them once on the car and at the ride height you want. Just get H&R stage II springs. Nice ride, not super low. Thats what I have.

okay so some good struts for the money?

i'm looking at some kyb agx adjustables.... or some tokico illuminas

any other nice ones out there? i heard koni is good (im on a tight budget so dont be suggesting 1000$ struts)

maybe ill just get Tokico HP blues + tokico springs--- 1.75" drop all around. and for $330 i dont think that price is beatable

anyone use those?
