If they're real TEIN springs then they should be real good. A lot of people have teins, some people like it more than eibach even. And these are a pretty decent price. I think these are the ones I'm going to get.

Get some quality springs, they'll last a helluva lot longer than a chop job. I have Eibachs and they're wonderful.

yeah, chopping springs destroys ride, destroys the shocks, and doesn't stiffen the springs at all, i.e.: bad idea
you are going to need to upgrade your shocks too, otherwise you are going to have to replace them again if you get honda ones

They're aftermarket shocks already, and they are still in good condition. I know it was a cheap way to go about it, and probably not the smartest, but I'm not the one that actually did it. Surprisingly though the ride has not been all that bad, the shocks are pretty stiff with the springs the way it is, and if the one hadn't broken I would have kept them like that until the shocks wore out, then replaced it all.

No i didn't. But my shocks are still in good condition so I wanna keep them as long as I can. Partially because I'm kind of short on cash.

Yeah thanks, I'll do the same once I get mine on. They haven't arrived yet though.
BTW do you breakdance? I saw the bboy vid and your avatar. I'm part of a little break crew where I am.
