yea just kinda wanna get info quick and purchase quick before xmas. as i have 5 days full lecture =( summer course. last night did research on ebay and found out the only springs they sell at good price is JDM around $20 US with expensive dlivery fee and other is TEIN around $83 with similar delivery fee. so yea didnt' have much options out of these .

is this coil good ? TEIN Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8022610345&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3AAAQ%3AUS%3A1) , not sure what type is this, but this is bit different to what benjammin posted in the other thread Benjammin Spring (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32818)

Cheers

Read up but be wary of who you listen to.... like him.

Whiteline actually have softer rates in most cases then Kings so in turn will body roll slightly more (Whiteline for my car is 160lb front, Kings is 200lb front). Dampers won't control body roll (they shouldn't neway)... so as I said, take what you read with a grain of salt. I'm no exception either :)

Go for Kings, matching dampers and a pair of adjustable swaybars... if you only want to street it but I'll start repeating my self from here on so just do a search :p

arent tein one of the best springs you can get on the market? they are a really well know jap brand and way better that king or whiteline in my opinion and what i have heard from mates that have them. how much will the set of tien cost after shipping on ebay? go tein if not to much. :D

Hi price is $92 shipping $95 = $187 US all together arond $230 AUS, please click this "TEIN springs (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8022662556&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3AAAQ%3AUS%3A1) ", Isn't this one only the spring? does it usually come with the shock? i am confused, is it okay to buy only the shock? :confused:

is that 203 for front and rear springs?

http://www.topspec.com.au/category155_1.htm

on this site it is like 540 for a set of front and rears spring. i would really recommend it i, have only heard good things from mates that have them plus they are a well regarded japanese brand.

in regards to shocks, what you have found are just the springs. if you want to lower your car these spring will do them about 1.5 inchs. if you want tein shocks/coilover i think ill set you back at least $2000 if im not mistaken.

there is also a guy on the forum selling a set of spoon progressive springs for about $500. im thinking of buying them but a lil short on funds for the moment hehe.

I know like Teins that much although their quality is top notice.
It causeof the spring rates.. they tend to have a much heavier front rate than the rear.

Thanks for the info, is it okay to use the stock shocks and tein springs? i mean how it impacts to the performance of the car? is having bars like sway bar and other bars important in this case?
