My 4door has been 4byin for way way to long. It needs some major dumpage, Especially as my Purple coupe has been out of commission for the past while, and most likely will be for the foreseeable future.

Basically I want to get soft springs that on Stock Struts will still be soft/not bouncy yet low and somewhat firm in the bends.

I was thinking of some Skunk2 Lower Springs, Thesein Particular.

Has anyone here been rolling on them?If Not any Suggestions on a nice riding, Yet still Cheap Lowering Springs?

well in my hatch i bought a skunk2 full suspension and i got to admit its kind of annoying. The ride is really stiff when your on the street, for any little bump the car will jump cuz the struts are so stiff, but i wouldnt know what it would feel like wit just the springs...... hope i was some help

Eibach's are bound to be brilliant on stock shocks. Great springs.

Koni as well, I can't comment on them with stock shocks but on my SSK with yellow dampers as well they're awesome, not too firm but great body control.

I think you'd be best with something like Eibach's or H&R springs.

H&R seem to come highly recommended from all corners of the industry ;)

Unfortunately they're not that cheap, but you're paying for the quality of the product at the end of the day...

Definitely what I wanted to read, That matches the same idea of what I have been reading online about them. I will be getting a set soon.

Thanks for your input Guys.

i have skunk2 springs on my stock shocks.
kind of bouncy but, not bad at all.
i do like the ride heighth.
because the roads are horrible where i live, i would not buy coilovers.
