I believe I paid 175 for the Sport springs from TireRack, but I've been informed recently that the price is now over 190 dollars.

In either case, you should search for a used set of springs if your max budget is 160.

We still have them for $180

You can get the Neuspeeds new for $155 plus shipping, but if you want one of the big two for $160 or less (H&R or Comptech), you'll need to buy used.

Okay, so the H&R and the Comptech springs both lower the car 1.7/1.5. So why the hell does Comptech charge so freaking much? Are they built better or last longer? Or are we just paying for the name on the side of the spring?

For an extra $70 bucks, I will paint Comptech on anyones H&R springs...

Is there any other spring that we can use that will make the car sit lower with out having to change the stock shocks? I

They have it for 149 + shipping (Location dependent but very reasonable), I got my set from them and they shipped it pretty quickly.
