lowering springs with 18's is called poser fitment.
so yeah, go with the eibach. 2.5" drop bro!
.... seriously tho, you're ka-t, 18's, and still on stock suspension?

basicaly dont fuck around with springs, just get coilovers the 1st time if u really want to make the fitmet look exactly like u want it. if u just wanna lower stance and dont care to much about looks or performance... i guess spings :-/

I had sport lines (now Super Drifts). And the springs were really bouncy with Kyb non adjustable in back, and stock up front.
And the look wasnt good, It was too high with 18's

Hmm. If you can't afford coilovers, then I'm guessing you don't have proper sized 18's.
So lets see. +stock s13 (boo boo 18's + lowering springs^2) = fail.
I suggest selling your car and buying a bicycle. You won't have to worry.

For one: not sure what I want to do with the car yet.
Two: Im a window tinter so I prolly make a lot more money than your working at mcdonalds ass.
three: Why dont you take the seat off and ride a bike with the pole up your ass you gay bitch!

sorry if that was rude, but people shouldnt try to act hard in a forum. I guarantee you 99% of the people that try to sell out on here wouldnt say that junk in person , and wouldnt back it up either.
Just a thought.
Im just tryin to talk about cars not be a punk.
thanks

people who ask dumb questions get dumb answers. cry about it if you want, but this isn't NICO, no one has to be nice if they don't feel like it.

How was his question dumb?
1st, Sportlines suck. Theyre progessive rate spring which are booo. Linear rate is much better. 2nd, they have a decent drop, but theyre soft. Not a good combo.
Check out RS-R. The Race springs are stiffer, but the Down springs drop a little more (1.6F and 1.0R). www.rs-r.com/store/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=13
When shopping for springs, you should worry more about the stiffness than the drop. The big drop looks nice, but usually handles like crap since theyre soft. If you can save for entry level coils (KTS, Megan, etc), you'll appreciate it...

springs are a waste of money.... but if you want poser status... the sportlines are the lowest drop you can possibly get... lower than RSR race or those other espelir, tanabe, tein stuff....

Um.
1. If you don't know what you want to do, then why the hell would you even waste money on lowering springs. Sounds like you need to get your head straight. Since you bitched at me in pm, why don't you buy coilovers in the first place?
2. Ohh lucky you. You toss some tint on a few cars. Guess that's what happens when you don't have a college degree. I still lol at you because you are poor.
3. I would tell you the same thing if I saw you in person. If you have a fail idea, posting it online doesn't make it any more/less fail.
4. I'm no, "punk" I just give truth.
5. Maybe at your trailer park you have some money but not around my parts.
6.You still haven't proven me wrong that your car is fail. You just evaded the fact.
7. Just my suspension along is worth more than your car. OMGWTFBBQLOL
8. Will you marry me?
Is that enough for you to tell you how much you fail at life? If not please let me know.

yep. you caught me. no car have i. LOLZ @ your lack of creativity. but then again, who needs creativity when you can rake in the big bucks doing tint. haha. and you can't afford coilovers? damn son. i'm a full time student and i still found time to earn money to buy coilovers and i'm currently waiting for my wheels to show up from japan. and for reference, i never had to rake leaves for money when i was younger. my parents just gave it to me. you = fail at life. :keke:
extra note: !zar! is 2 funny.

This is going nowhere. Original Poster, hopefully you learned something from all this. I could care less what you learned, but I hope you learned something.
I am ending your bloodshed now. :lockd:
