Since Snap has been picking my brain about suspension; I thought id write up a spring note for everyone.
Keep in mind that having strut bars, upgraded sway bars, and good struts play a role in a good suspension.
Me having a ton of upgraded suspension parts doe not mean it is perfect but i love my setup so far.

Please feel free to add you input whehter positive or negative:

Sprint:
Blue springs, drop of 1.5" front and rear.
Price is around $150 new.
My experience with them is very good.


Tein S Tech:
Green springs, drop of 1.5" front, 1" rear
Price is $120-$150
My experience from Chanh's car was a bit bumpy but could have been due to the tires.


TRD & Eibach Pro-Kit:
Black springs, drop of 1.5", 1: front
Price: 150+
Minimun drop with stock feel.[/color]

DropZone:
Red springs, drop of 1.25" all around i think
Price: under $150
Seems like stock but a tad bumpy


Intrax:
Purple springs, drop of 1.8" all around
Price: $125-180
No experience


Tanabe:
2 different kind of springs
drop of 1.25 and 1 for the GF210
drop of 1.5 and 1.25 for the TF210?
Price: 150 and up
No experience


Eibach Sportlines:

If theres any brands fill them in for me please.
