    I saw you can't afford suspension, I hope you aren't planning to spray paint your Corolla like everyone else here (including me) lol

    I don't think a two tone looks good ever, with the exception of black hood/roof/trunk at most.
    Added: Feb 2, 2012 5:03 AM
    well, there you go, you said it. Teins are good. So, the Sprints would be 120/200 as good LOL. Sprint makes phones, anyway. You get what you pay for.

    Although, really what it comes down to, is how much drop you want. Pick the springs with the drop rate you're after. IDK about spring price and quality, although I'd naturally assume that cheaper springs would be weaker, softer, bouncier, and fail sooner.

    Are you speaking from experience and not assumptions? I just want something close to 2" drop. Also I wont mind a little bounce. Tired of being SUV status but no spare change to go all out.

    Then the Sprint springs will probably work fine for you. I've just learned (am still learning) to save money in the long run by getting the better product first, if I'm just gonna have to buy it later anyway. So, if you are sure that you want these springs, get them.
    Looks like an Accord in his sig....

    But yeah, just get the good product up front. They are popular for a reason. You'll feel more accomplished knowing you didn't cheap out. Baller status FTW

    They've been out long enough that the price is stable.
    Added: Feb 2, 2012 5:27 AM
    It is highly NOT recommended to use mis-matching springs, as your car will be unpredictable and downright dangerous to drive (just like using cut springs or blown shocks). They only sell full sets for a reason.

    If i had the spare change i would get some Ksports. But damn the rolla scene isnt giving me no choice.. prices are ridiculous. I bought my Omni's on my 4dr civic for $450 semi-used and my SK2 Pro's on my delsol for $600 new.

    Hondas have alot of aftermarket support thus alot of manfacturers have price battles.
    In the corolla world its one company usually making a specific performance part for shits and giggles.
