Where to buy lowering springs.

I've talked to a few random people on eBay, they say their representitives will not sell them in pairs, only the full set. I need the front springs only, i would like something stiffer than Racing Beat offers if possible, can anyone give me links to various places offering suspension for FB so i can shop around or have a set of used aftermarket coils (i do not care the brand)?

I've tried ground-control, they only have sleeve kits, i don't want to mess with "coil-overs".

It says on their site 1", but if you still have your factory suspension from the day it was purchased off the dealer lot new, it likely won't drop it at all due to the springs sagging over time.

The link to the thread was started by me, i was asking of interchangability of different generation springs when someone randomly posted links to sites to find FB suspension.

I don't see Racing Beat's springs lowering the car on sagged suspension, i took my strut cups off without even compressing the springs and put them back on the same way. I could've maybe safely chopped the top dead coil off, considering Racing Beat's springs are stiffer than factory, i don't see any way for them to lower the car at all on sagged suspenion.

Basically, all i'm saying is-

You will have the same ride height, just stiffer handling.

Coil-overs may allow you to lower the car more, i don't know much at all about them however.
