Lowering Springs....
i would avoid lowering springs all together. i got the works ones, supposed to be good springs that work with the factory struts.
wouldn't you know it, 8k miles later both front struts completely blown apart.

wow, that's the first time that I've heard of that happening with the works springs.

I have the Tein S tech lowing springs on my car. Its not a bad ride, going to be alittle rough like any lowered car, but I have felt worse. The handling is still amazing on the car. Springs are fairly cheap too.

EvolutionRus - S-techs are the worst option out there.
More info needed. Mileage on Bilsteins? Swifts do improve handling, I along with many others vouch to that - with trophies.

If you run r-comp tires I would get the SpecR's. The stiffer rates will fit nicely with the grip levels that those type of tires can produce.
Hotchkis are too soft.
