Inexpensive springs?
Does anyone know where I can get some relatively inexpensive coil springs? Nothing performance, just stock replacement. My car has the driver's side sag and I think it is contributing to some vibrations I get occasionally.

the sag comes from blown shocks. in addition, driver side is always lower due to a missing shim in the strut. that's why passenger side will always be higher compared to driver side.
after trying many spring combos, i just switched back to stock springs and tokico's. works great for me and i dont bottom out anymore.

Kinda wondered the same. My springs are rather flat from 190K miles, and I am not sure about whether I want to go with lowering springs, or just some basic replacements.
Saw an off-brand on ebay for about $200 a set, but I have no idea of their quality.
I have considered autocrossing the car, but I think they will force me to go straight into the street prepped class, due to the 15 wheels/tires that came on the car when I bought it. If that is the case, I just as well get eibach or similar springs, as that would be cheaper than another set of tires and wheels.

I have the RB springs and they are a much better spring than the stockers, which are stupid soft. Coupled with some Tokico HP struts and shocks, you'll have a firm but not punishing ride that will be far superior to the stock setup, even when new.

I found RB's springs to be very affordable compared to *anything* I could find locally. And they're performance to boot.
Edit: I also went with KYB GR-2 gas shocks and I couldn't be happier!

How do the RB springs compare to Eibach, in ride quality and handling?
