Budget Suspension

What are some legit/reputable websites I can order a decent, yet cheap set of lowering springs? I've read that a set of Tanabe GF210's were decent and saw some at a website for a relatively low price, but I don't wanna get swindled by some random website.
Any suggestions of good sets of springs and/or websites where to get them would be appreciated.

Tanabe GF210's are good.
Racing beat springs are good too.

I have both, and I prefer, the tanabes

For cheap springs, go used. There's a good for sale section in these forums. If you're getting stiffer springs and have old shocks, you also need to replace the shocks. The shocks should be new or barely used. If your replacement springs aren't much stiffer, you can use stock shocks, otherwise you need performance shocks. Without new shocks to match the springs you'll have a springy/bouncy ride and worsened handling. If you're on a budget if anything I'd get the shocks and skip the springs, not the other way around. Then you'd get stock or mild performance shocks to match the stock springs; otherwise the shocks will blow fast.
