Ok, I just got brand new tires on my stock wheels, (for winter and bad weather). And a few weeks ago I picked up some free 16" TSW Blades that had a few curb marks on them, I took them to a wheel shop and they fixed the scratches, (weld'd them and smooth'd them out with a wheel lathe). I just got them back and sprayed them with some heavy duty gloss black paint. They look sweet. I need to get some tires on them befor they go on my car.

But, I have brand new tires on my stock wheels, and I dont really want them to go to waste.

I have been wanting to lower my car, and replace my stock struts with some adjustable'z. I dont want coilovers, I want springs, but if the price is right, and I can find a kit that has adjustable shocks and coilovers that lower my car as much as the Eibach Sportline kit, then I will up for the kit.

If there is not a kit like that for under 500$, then I am going to get some Eibach Sportline springs, (aprox. $200), and I am still debating on what adjustable shocks I should get?

KYB AGX?
Tokico Illumina?
Other?

I would also like to know if I should go with adjustable'z in the front and non-adjustable in the rear? Or if I should get adjustable all around?

I have about 500$ to spend.

 

illuminas arent bad, they have a lifetime warranty. i wouldnt recommend dropping them lower than 2 inches, i hear past that they tend to get leaky seals etc. kyb's are also nice, i have driven a car with some and i loved them. alot also has to do with the spring setup u decide to use. h&r are good, so is tein, eibach and pretty much any big name brand. i would also advise not to drop past 1.5 or else your toe in probs will not be fixed by an alignment, youll need a camber kit.

 

On a budget: H&R Sport springs + KYB AGX

 

KYB GR-2 work pretty good too and are fairly cheap
