how much are the springs? i was thinking about getting a different set of coils, but if just new springs will do the job...i would be so down! :D

I would be careful of getting new springs. I'm not sure how far the racelands go before they lose a lot of shock travel so keep that in mind.

I tightened everything to spec before lowering the car except for the nuts on the top of the front struts.

I have been considering on ordering these, but i cant make up my mind. Overall for everyone who has them installed, do you recommend them or just get something else.
