What springs to get????

I am going to get lowering springs, or coilovers....

Lets see.....

I want to lower my car about 1" to 1.5" Max....
I dont want too hard of a ride.... (something that I will feel every freeking bump in)

What should I get, Springs or coilovers.... What brand....

Oh yeah I probably wont ever adjust my height......

What should I look out for....

Also how much am I looking at spending....

coilovers will give u a harsh ride

h&r's are 1.4 and eibach's are 1.3 BUT they suck Do a search on them and there are a lot of complaints such as....ride is too soft (bouncy), uneven look, etc.

I wouldn't get rid of the neuspeed sports, they are nice springs. The h&r and neuspeed are pretty much the same thing amyway.

The h&r advertise less of a drop. I put them on a prelude and they look the same as the neuspeed sports when the car is on the ground. My h&r race are supposed to be 2F, 1.8R they are more liek 2.5F, 2.25R. I still haven't burned my tires up yet and my shocks are ok. I plan on getting new shocks soon but the camber I will probably leave. The camber is different for every car, you might not have a problem, my car isn't too bad at all.
