Default Springs

Looking to get some springs ordered up and installed. I'd love to get coilovers but just not an area where I want to drop a boatload of $.

Any recommendations on a shop ?

Also, any local recommendations on a brand ? I'm not looking for the "slammed" look. Looking to just close up the wheel gap.

I have neuspeed springs on mine with stock struts. They lower the car about 1.25" I installed them myself and got it re-aligned at a local shop in mt. juliet. I can help you put them on, if you get some. The hardest part is getting the rear struts back in and line up with the bolt hole on the lower control arm. its defiantly a 2 person job. I would recomond going to evasivemotorsports.com and getting some springs from them.

I'll lend a hand. I'm only the next county over. I've never replaced them before but it can't be that hard. I have experience fetching tools too.

Eibach will give you about an inch drop, subtle clean and good clearance. A spring like the espiler will give you a much larger drop, tuck the wheels but you will rub in the front under certain uncommon conditions.

Both are good options. Jake and I can swap a set of springs in about 2 hours in the garage.
