[QUOTE=RandallNeighbour]If you do lower the car with springs alone, get ready for accelerated rear tire wear if you don't buy some adjustable toe links to put in the back to correct the additional camber lowering the car will do to the suspension....QUOTE]

I didn't buy the adjustable toe links, and yes, the chamber is a bit off, but looks and drives fine....very close to spec, not too concern about tire wear, drive less than 6K per year and been trying to get rid of the current set I have for a couple of years

I also bought my Gemballa springs on Ebay auction for $250....so keep an eye there for good deals.

Last, even with this low cost in springs, and some DIY, I did the fronts, $300 for the rear, I paid out close to $1000, so it's not a cheap upgrade.

Springs - $250
Tools - $100
Rear Install - $300
Alightment - $200
