No, please don't install springs just to lower the car. That's a terrible idea, but for some reason, tons of people seem to do it. It will eventually blow your shocks and not even improve handling.

As for the gold stockers, I think it looks pretty good, and I'm not easily impressed.

Last thing, these types of things should be in show'n'shine, just fyi.

I know, the springs are short term.

Interesting...purchasing and installing springs just to lower the car until getting a full suspension. Didn't know people did such frivolous things...nice!

not everyone tracks their cars at an auto x.... springs improve the stance and appearance of the car... may handle slightly worse in some cases, may cause strut issues in some cases, but doesnt mean someone shouldnt do it just for looks.

Not that i want to sidetrack the thread, but agreed. Even assuming i damage my shocks, big deal, time to upgrade.
