More expensive but I've always been a fan of complete coilovers over springs, but if it's free I'd take em.
Personally I'm saving up for some coilover/shocks, I wouldn't spend money on new springs unless the current ones I had we're shot.

you might be right I was at the wheel works store and the guy there said the same thing
save up for the coilovers and this way you can adjust the height to you exact level.
my springs are fine no issues.....just want a better stance....

It's a better alternative route, more expensive but worth it.
I haven't experienced it first hand but I've heard numerous people say that using just springs really put some wear on your factory shocks as well and can blow em out quicker then normal, one of the other reasons I haven't really bothered to touch springs, don't want to see if that's true or not haha.

I would search the suspension forum, read long enough to understand who's whom and what's what, and then ask a few intelligent question if there was a need for clarification. To answer your question directly, I wouldn't install those spring on my own car even if someone paid me. Good luck.

^ that. And cheap coilovers so you can adjust height is BS.

Proper springs and Bilsteins over cheap coils everyday of the week. Defog and your store are wrong and under-informed.

Search and read.
