Lower Spring Suggestions? Good Or Bad?

[Shue Her]

So i'm thinking about getting lowering springs for my P5 and don't want to spend much. Are these good Lowering Springs for the price?

they are both fine. i'd buy the teins first. but neither of them are cheap in my opinion. i have seen new springs for less than that, and used springs will be much less.

keep in mind, if you plan on going with a lowering spring, they will have a stiffer spring rate which will require upgraded aftermarket struts. you can use OEM struts but they will wear much faster leaving you with blown struts. a lot of people try to save money by just getting springs, only to have to buy new struts shortly thereafter.

unless of course, all of the roads you drive on are as smooth as glass.....

You can get racingbeat springs for near that price. Not a huge drop (more than I'd like though), and easier on the struts.

i'd go with the teins you found or megans if you're looking for progressive spring rates

Which struts would be good?

i have tein but the s.tech not the high.tech. i also did my struts at the same time (KYB). so brand new struts and springs for less than $400 shipped... i am happy with that
