    Lowering springs

    Alright, so yea I do have a geo prizm, but we all know it is a corolla at heart. LOL. I want to know what are the cheapest but well balanced lowering springs that I can get? Eibach is too much I feel for a drop that I don't think is even worth it. I want a nice low drop. I was thinking Aerospeed and Dropzone springs. Please post and let me know!

    Tein S Techs if you want a low drop. They're good quality and relatively inexpensive (all over eBay).

    Yeah you should probably go with Tein S Techs. I've heard bad things about Dropzone. Don't forget to upgrade your struts also. Stock struts won't last long with lowering springs.

    Go with TRD lowering springs. Check on Ebay. I got those for $75 shipped brand new.

    that if you want cheap then ur stuck the no name brands or drop zone which will give you 2 inch drop, i just purchased set of kyb g2 struts and eibach pro line springs for my 95 rolla and e-bay is the cheapest by far when looking for suspension pieces. and if u really want low ride the get coulovers, but that will be a freaking rough ride

    don't forget, with drop like that you will need new struts, and prolly a camber kit.

    instead of buying lowering spring,go with coilover like ground control and a tokico struts.the ride is pretty much comfortable and not a bouncy ride,also you could adjusted your ride height if you want.

    That's a damn good drop. N E problems, like rubbing or having to change the struts in a quick amount of time after installation?

    I'm on 17 " wheels with a +42 offset and they do rub in the rear on bumps. I had to shave the fenders. And the fronts also rub on hard turns.
    As far as struts, I had tokico blues installed at the same time. I recommend changing the stock struts cos they wont be able to handle the load...
