i havent seen any springs that will lower you atleast 3 inches most will go about 2...it wont be hard like the coilovers ride..a lot of ppl dont like coilovers because of the ride so they get springs so there is a better ride quality...so if you want to lower the 3 to 4 inches and a hard suspension i would wait the time it will take you to get the coilovers....you dont have to buy shocks too...you can spend the $100 give or take some shipping and get the coilovers and run you stock shocks and then later on get a good set of shocks...thats what i would do...i have learned a while back...dont rush into things and go the cheap route you will regret it in the end..plus the springs are the same if not more in cost in most brands

 

my springs give me a 2.5" drop (tein s), and the ride is alot less harsh than coilovers. Coilovers will give you a tighter suspension though.

Theres no problem with just doing springs... but you will eventually need new shocks down the road.

 

and a camber kit if your trying to get a 3 inch drop (which will be hard to do with springs).

 

if i putt my stock shocks on the car with tein's springs($150) this will run ?
and tehn after when i have money i can putt the coil over with shocks

what about if i buy coil over and putt them with the stock shock?

 

i've had my coilovers with my stock shocks for over three years (its not recommened) and never had a problem.

 

i ran my stock shocks and it was fine for a while but eventually the from driverside was gone so i put new ones and now the ride feels a lot better but dont worry about it you can run them with stock at least for a while if not a long while

 

lowered 3" will probably blow out your stock shocks, it overcompresses them and hits the valve inside. get a coilover setup and lower it about 2" then when you can get the shocks too, lower it as low as you want. definetely get a camber kit though, you will wear out your tires in a week or two with it lowered 3"

 

could you explain the camber kit? (what is that?)

is it a kit that putt the wheels at a different angles?
