Default I need springs! good prices in the GTA?

Hey ya'll..
i plan on grabing a set of TEIN TECH S springs. where can i shop in the GTA?. I thought about ordering from U.S. since i found a good price.. but if i can find a similar deal locally i would rather avoid shipping.

Also... has anybody experienced warrenty voids from a spring change?. apperently changing springs shouldn't void but i would like to be certain since i have 20 months left,

thanks

Dont just change springs...it sucks, you wearout your struts, it will handle like crap, and you will bottom out...its ghetto

springs + shocks
or coil overs

the drop doesn't matter; it's your spring rates that blow the shocks.

you can have a stock ride height car with 1000 pound springs and it'll blow the shock in no time.

Why bother? Just take a hacksaw and chop an inch off your stock springs for mad drop yo.

If you want to actually improve your car's suspension dramatically buy my shocks and springs. $3600 shocks for half price and I throw in over $600 worth of race springs for free. You can make your car handle like one worth twice as much or like a 94 Civic DX, your choice.

Tires23.com quoted me S-Techs at $230 taxes in the other week. delivery was a couple of days.

And the S-tech on stock shocks did improve oversteer in my case..

Cheers
