anyone got a link to some good lowering springs for p5?
not looking to spend to much, preferabley on springs that you may have in use or have heard good things about.

looking for a 1.5 - 1.7 inch drop

(hear ya) of anything?
 
goldlines go for 150.00 shipped, i have had good luck with them 1,7- 1,8 inch drop
 
I just purchased Maxspeed springs on ebay for less than $100 shipped. I was not sure of the quality, so I searched the forums here. Here's a link to what I found that helped me make my decision to purchase. http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30183&highlight=Maxspeed+springs

Acts has these springs, and says that they are supposedly made by H & R. I should be installing them this week hopefully. I'll repost with a review once I get them in.

Here's a link to ebay auction for anyone interested:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2460605589&category=33582

I installed the Maxspeed Springs yesterday, and so far I am happy with the results. The ride is not much rougher than the stock springs, but it is noticibly stiffer. I have attched a few pictures with the new springs installed. I have the stock 16" rims with Yokohama AVS ES 100 205/45/16 tires. With this setup there is still about a 1" gap both front and rear, should get even smaller once the springs settle a little. The Maxspeed springs cost less than half of what the Eibach or Tein springs are going for....my total cost including shipping and alignment was about $160. If you're looking for a set of lowering springs and you're on a limited budget you should take a look at the Maxspeed springs.

I've got Sprint Springs on. They are supposed to give a 2"/2" drop once they are done settling. Not quite sure how much they normally go for, but I like them. I can take some pics tomorrow if you want to see how they look. I've had them on for about a month.
 
I got my Eibach pro-kit from www.adventon.com


The ride is nice and the handling is awesome. My pro handles better than my IROC-Z ever did. I dropped about an inch and a half.
