Best lowering springs?
What are the best lowering springs? By best I mean that you don't have to roll fenders, no need for camber kits, lower a decent amount while not being EXTREMELY low, and not being too high either, have a great feel on the road better than stock or if not just like stock feel.

youll need a camber kit for both the eiback prokit and sportline series
most people get away with no camber kit with tein h techs. i only know two people with s techs that got away with no camber kit.
stay away from tanabe df210's if you don't want to deal with camber kits. iirc, the nf210's are -1" front and -0.6" rear but i recall people requiring a camber kit for these. not fully sure tho..
i wasn't aware that megan made springs..
look into some swift springs..great performance springs with a very conservative drop.
consider espelir active gt springs? they are suppose to be a 10mm drop all around.
h&r sports give a -1.1" front and -1.0" rear drop..

considering you dont want to deal with camber issues, it's going to be hard to get all of those..then again, your idea of style may be different from mine because i think slammed g's look best! but it's all good homie!

you think those are legit? Also are they a good price or can I find better price than that?

It's all gibberish to me, but maybe you can make some sense out of it and by his post which spring you think is the best to get?

Better to plan on camber/toe kits now for front/back. This way
when your not happy with the drop your all set.
Most folks (as I can tell) will eventually change/swap the H-Techs
for something else down the road.
Since your under there anyway, make it a day and do the other kits.
Thats my thinking anyway.

What's the difference between linear and progressive springs, what does eachh of them have to offer,and which one is better?
Also why would you get Z springs ? What do they have to offer compared to Swift springs ?

i liked the z springs b/c their spring rates match the sport shocks so you don't have to worry about blowing out your shocks early. they were cheap (i got mine for $50) and they provided a clean drop. the ride quality isn't as good as stock (since i'm dropped) but it's still very acceptable.

Do you think I will blow out my shocks early with SWIFT ?
