just checking to see if anyone was runnin this. or any comments on it. in my 00' i had the s/r tokico's and eibach's. i have an 02' now and im lookin for something a little bit lower and i little bit more aggressive. megan racing springs sound good too, but i haven't heard anything about them. i read that dropzone was the best spring for us...

also, if anyone has any suggestions as to what is a good spring/strut combination... i'd prefer it to be limited to personal experience. im willing to spend up to $600 as long as the results are worth it. i live in cleveland, and the roads are damn smooth in suburbia. i just want nice aggressive cornering, lower center of gravity... the biggest wheels on my car would be a set of 16's... maybe

I'm using the Megan Racing springs (Bought them as the ZXTuner springs, but they are the same). I also have the ZX2 S/R Tokico struts. I'm happy with the combo. The ride is definitely firmer than stock, but is still a comfortable ride. If you're going to be racing, there are better springs, but these are good for a daily driver with better than stock handling.

Here's a pic:

HP's are more a stock replacement, On a moderate drop they should be fine, but if your gunna slam it, don't bother

im not going to lower the car anymore than 2" - that would be using the megan racing springs

i'd go with eibach and tokico s/rs,,,,but if ur willing to spend the cash get ground control coilovers for 350-400 and a set of tokico s/r shocks form john bleaklyford.com for 200 shipped
