werd on the street is that the whiteline springs are very soft as far as aftermarket springs are concerned...

they are only a slight drop 1" (est.), if you are looking for something less than 2" (sportlines) you may wanna go pro-kit or tokico...

but i'm sure you already know about those ones

Fodive, imo jus go and save some money and get urself a really good suspsenion set up like Tein, CUSCOS, ZEAL, JIC MAGIC and alot more i cant think of right now. I wouldnt go wid jus shock and spring set-up cuz its really only for looks; imo i would want both looks and performance so u can change ur setting at any given time.. No what i am saying? Thanxs for ur info i cant wait til u tell me bout the hyper i think itll sound very nice after u get a sr20 or go turbo'd

my problem is i dont have that much $$$ on hand, specially after the recent repairs, so i figured if i go with shock/spring and camber correction plates, then i can go sway abrs, etc.. later once i ge tmore cash... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

I can't believe you just said springs/shocks are just for looks <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/butbut.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':but:'>

Please tell us your theory on this subject...I'll wait for your reply to comment further.

True.... I would rather have a good set of springs and shocks than bargin basement coilovers.. like i understand that a coilover set for like $700 may or may not be just as good as some for $1000+ but its only $700 for a reason... being we are paying for the "brand name" or whatever... i would trust Tien or JIC over Ractive or any of the house brands....
