save up and get some coilovers. but if your going with springs go with tein.

kyb gr2's with tein s techs

175/65/14

205/50/15

205/40/17

hope this helps. btw, the 205/50/15s will rub in the front when you hit bumps at speeds above 40-50mph.

The Skunk 2 will look the nicest because the other two drop lower in the back than the front.

I've got tokico illumnia 5-way adj with sportlines on my blue si, and the ride is alot nicer then my skunk2 pro's on my red si.

so eibach's arent good at all? i heard they are pretty good for dd and stuff

 

[EK|B]

Good as in what? Like tastes good? Smell good?

I think since it will be a DD he is looking to lower the vehicle a little to make it look a tad bit nicer, and increase handling capabilities while not dropping it so low that he scrapes wherever he is driving.

Essentially coilovers are expensive and work a ton better than springs. For a DD lowering springs are more economical and can still improve handling.

I am looking at doing the same thing.

Sorry to thread jack a little, tell me if i am way off on what you are desiring

 

[chueymuas]

yeah, youre correct...its a dd...and i dont want it to scrape everywhere i go

 

[somejaykid]

i'll go with the skunk2 for the springs for a dd

If it's a dd then just get springs and good shocks. There is no point for you to get $600-$1000 full coilovers if the car will never hit a real race track. Unless you plan on turning it into something like that. I've had tein s. tech on tokico blues; they rode really nice on the streets and handled pretty well.

i know you guys are saying coilovers would be my best bet...but again..its a dd..therefore im not getting coilovers for it...but spoon egg you got any pics?
