I'm looking to lower my car soon and get some new rims and wheels. I was wondering what you guys think is the best set of springs to go with? I'd love everyone's opinion and where they got their springs and for how much. Thanks!

Hotchkis, H&R, TRD, and Eibach are all good.

Thanks for the replies guys. Did you install them yourselves or take them to a shop for installation? How much do you think it will run to have the installed?

I've got the Eibach's and love them. My boyfriend did the install in about 4 hours. If you do it at home - get a spring compressor. If you've got a discount auto around you, they rent them out for a day.

Sportlines at Tirerack are $195 + shipping... I have had them on for about 4 months now... Its a really nice ride not too bouncy and not too bumpy...

You guys got pics of your cars with the sportlines? I'm about to get them within a week or two.

How low should I lower my car if i wanna put 18's on it? would 2" be too far?

if you buy the right sized 18s....it shouldn't matter. As long as your stock rims fit, the 18s with the same rolling dia will be the same size.
