Arrow 1" - 1 1/2" lowering springs ?

hi guys,

I have a 97 ex sedan and its lowered more than I like, I'm tall and I deal with a lot of construction roads and I want to raise it up a bit. If I had to guess I would say it's lowered 2 1/2 - 3" I looked into stock springs and it was going to be about $200 for the whole set, which seems a little ridiculous to me considering I can get lowering springs for cheaper.

I'm not crazy about ebay springs so I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get some 1" or 1 1/2 (at most) lowering springs for under $150?

thanks guys

theres alotta knock off Tein s techs on ebay. and if you are unlucky to get a knock off set they will probably ride like ****. Try buying them at THMotorsports.com. They're about 160-170 and I think the shipping is free. plus there is usually a discount code to get a few percent off if you google it...

eh the tein are closer to 2" than I'm looking for,

anyone know anything about this brand?

they lower 1.25 which will set me right about where I want to be... to be honest if I could find stock springs (all 4) for under $80 I would go for it, but I don't see the point in paying $200 for stocks when I could get lowered ones for cheaper

the difference between the 1.25inch drop of those springs (whose ride may be stiff and crappy or soft and OEM-like, who knows) and the tein s techs (actually about a 1.7inch drop) is going to be pretty much unnoticeable.

but eh... do what you want, its your ride. =]

anyone know about those springs he posted?

Tien H-Tech
Tokico HP springs(if you can find just the springs)
Eibach Sportline springs(you'll want aftermarket shocks for these since they're a little stiff)
Progress Sport Springs

Eiback Pro Kit is $198 at www.tirerack.com

That's what I have and they drop the car 1.5" front and 1.3" rear.
