Tenzo R GF2s are good. 1.8 in. drop. Name brand company. Only cost like 100.

I bought a set of Tein S-Tech springs from RRM and I'm satisfied with them.
Can't really complain about the ride, the drop in the rear is nice, the only
thing that I wish is that the front was a little bit lower, but it still looks a hell
of a lot better than the stock ride height. So I'd recommend the Tein S-Tech's

Well i bought Eibach 1.2 lower front and rear te only thing that i dont like is that the front sits a little bit higher than the rear now since it was a even drop. but all in all i havent had any problems with them. and if it isnt a crazy drop you shouldnt have any problems with blowing out the struts i have had mine springs and struts since 2003 and have never had a issue

that is a good deal like i said i never have had a problem with these springs. but they do lower the 1.2 which gives the car a nice stance not to low but not that high either

I have had basically every set of springs through the years on a variety of cars. I think the s tech for my evo 8 was the worst by far, h&r on my Honda del sol v-tech ok, eibachs on gst eclipse good, and now eibachs on my evo x is by far the best springs I've ever had. The car drives like stock!!!

Well A. I have a brand new set im selling in the classifieds. And B. ebay sells them, and C. you can find them at other car websites. They really are good springs. Tenzo R makes some badass stuff. I wish I could afford their carbon fiber racing seats. I feel like the lower the better and since I think springs are all for looks anyways, why not go for the lowest drop? 1.8 inches is nothing. My lancer with my coilovers sits about 5in off the ground in the front. With springs itd be a monster truck to me.
Official Tenzo R website is http://www.tenzoracingsports.com/

I'm curious about how the people that complain that springs blow your struts drive. I was driving on a set of ebay coilover SLEEVES for 2 years and didnt blow my struts with spirited driving and it lowered to the tire...
Oh btw, get anything but ebay coilover sleeves lol. The ride wasnt terrible but both of the front springs BROKE in half after about 2 years.
