Default Help Choosing Springs

I'm working on my suspension right now. So far I've got the Eibach sway kit and Steeda's adjustable LCAs. I also bought the Eibach camber bolt for when the time is right! Now I'm trying to decide on the right springs... I've heard good things about Steeda's, and I know Eibach's pro kit is the FRPP springs, and also UPR's.

Now what I'm going for is corner cutting capability. I don't plan on drag racing; and this isnt a daily driver, so comfort doesn't matter. I know I don't want to go 2" drop because I would still like to be able to drive it around town every now and then, I just don't care if I need a chiropractor! LOL

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you all!

How much of a budget you have to work with? If you have disposable income I would be suggesting a lot more than our 555-8241 street/comp springs, Tokico D-specs, and swaybars. Which would be the basics to start with.

If you have a budget beyond these items I would also suggest our 555-8120 upper strut mounts, front ball joints to improve the front roll center, bump steer kit to correct bump steer, plus a watts links and rear trailing arms. But the parts I first mentioned would be a good starting point for aggressive handling.

You should also consider wider wheels and tires if you want to maximize grip.

i already have a set of your adjustable rear control arms, I wasn't going to go all out due to money reasons. I think im going to go with the Steeda sport springs and pro action shocks and struts. Then move on to the adjustable upper control arm, and adjustable pan hard. Then i think ill be done until the mod bug bites me again
