I've had a few friends with them and they regret it now. If your only looking for a small drop, i would go with just springs that work with your OEM shocks. If your looking for a much larger drop, i would suggest investing in springs+shocks. < Message edited by DKYamada -- 10/18/2006 12:44:29 PM > _____________________________ 1996 honda accord (in reply to Sparco_racingVTEC) Post #: 2

Don't waste money on cheap springs since they don't cost a whole lot (springs alone) I'd stick to something with a quality reputation, H&R OE springs give you a better performance ride and about .5-.75" drop for around $200 ish... Anything over that and you may need to get camber plates as well _____________________________ 1981 Civic Station Wagon - ROhnda (Really Old Honda) 1981 Honda CB650 Motorcylce - WHEE What More can I say? 2000 Lexus RX 300 - Oooh baby my wife let me drive it once!!
