H&R Race Springs!

H&R cup kits would cost you about $700. The springs alone are a bit over $200 but they will wear out your original shocks and struts a last faster then normal.

I wouldn't go with race springs. They will make your car too low for daily driving. Go for the H&R touring cup kit, it comes with sports springs.

or get H&R Sports get shocks when they bum bum

i suppose mod bargins is the best place to snag these? I think i may just get the springs and shocks but skip the struts is that a bad idea?

Eibach pro or sport. End of story.

talk with Craven, he will set you up. (where I got mine from)

I agree, Eibach has a better spring feel than some of the other competitors out there... It lowers the car, but retains most of the stock comfort as well, so you wont be bouncing up and down like I was on my H&R Race springs on my E46. If anybody needs help with those springs, feel free to PM me
