He was definitely kidding about cutting your springs.

These are the specs for the Basics, from Heeltoe:

Spring Rate (F/R, kgf/mm): 10/6, Lowering F/R: -2/-1.6 Inches Down
Minimum Drop F/R: -0.5/-0.6 Inches Down
Maximum Drop F/R: -3.3/-2.4 Inches Down

^ heeltoe will give you a good price. Im sure if you search hard enough you might find a place to save a few dollars on the coilovers but you will definately have a great experience with Marcus at Heeltoe. Customer service is top notch and shipping is fast.

after doing a little research i want some coilovers that are going to be fairly stiff alot more than stock atleast. and i have been reading that ppl are jus getting a little bit stiffer ride with the basic. i want this price range but i want a bit stiffer.

Buy my Tein Flex which has a higher spring rate and more adjustable.
