Cheap aftermarket springs can be bought around $300 new. You can also find used one in the parts section for under $200 depending on brands etc etc

Depending how low you go. You can also prevent camber wear using camber kits.

Stop being cheap assholes. You arent driving commodores.
You can buy cheap second hand ones for like $200 as someone said.
With the added bonus of not having a shitty ride.

and buying second hand springs isnt being cheap? ull find them for that much but theyve most likely been driven the hell out of

ive been sourcing cheap springs for months but cant find ones that come in a package or arent chopped
