Lots of options out there, just depends on how deep your pockets. I've been running tein flex ha and they are fine for the street and are budget friendly. There's definitely better, more expensive. Tailor your setup to how you will be using the car.

The eibach springs you have are a pretty "user friendly" setup. If you lower it more you will start running into wheel/tire fitment issues, and speed bump issues.

Yeah, Tein Flex Z is only $680 so they're a great deal. If you want those street advanced, those are even cheaper at around $570!

The badge being in the wrong location does not automatically make it a Spirit R body. 😜

I picked up a set of Zeals for under 1k on Yahoo japan. You take a gamble buying from the auction but my experience is that the Japanese are pretty straight forward with condition. I was also looking for a company that had representation in the states in case they needed to be rebuilt, and Endless owns Zeal now so that worked for me.

At anyrate, yja usually has some good deals
