Lowering springs
 

I was planning to get a set of Tokico D-specs with some Swift springs as many people have recommended this combination. I've also considered looking at saving up for a high end coilover kit instead. Right now though I really just want to lower the car. I have a bunch of carbon fiber, and new wheels etc, and it just looks... odd.. with the car riding up so high. Can anybody give me a recommendation on some reasonably good quality lowering springs that will maybe give me a stiffer better performance feel and lower the car a bit? With my turbo going in next month I don't have the money for a set of coilovers, but I can swing a set of springs. I need to lower it at least an inch I would say, but you can see pics of the car here:

I would suggest the S.tech springs from Tein.. You can actually find them on ebay for your car shipped for around 180 bucks. 1.4 inch drop in the front and .7 in rear.

if your just looking for a temp or cheap drop.. I dont think you could go wrong with the tein springs.

I have Swift springs on OEM shocks, I think this is what your looking for.

Purchased. That will do quite nicely for now, then after the turbo goes in I can save up for some high quality coilovers.

Sorry for the hijack, but what kind of drop do these springs give you? Looks good on OEM wheels/shocks.

Imput1234, while I do really dig the drop that Swift gives (a little more subtle than the Tein's) and they are apparently really great performance-wise, they are supposedly out of stock from Swift USA right now and I want to drop the car asap. The Tein's will do until I can get some high quality coilovers to replace them with.

I am pretty sure they are .8" all around.

^thats what Swift says, but they drop a little more.
