Default Lowering spring?

Hey guys,

I need to install some lowering springs, but dont want to spend a ton of money doing it. Where can I get a good set of springs for under $200 and how do you guys who bought them like em?

You will lose traction due to less weight transfer. So if you are into racing from a dig (who isnt?) then you are ok. But if you DO race from a dig, then they are going to hurt you. But depending on the springs u buy, the car will look better and ride just as good.

That was one of the reasons I didn't lower mine yet. Do adjustable shocks help?
