Manzo USA lowering springs

Im on a budget and considering buying these from Amazon. Does anyone have experience with these or know anything about them. I cant find anyone that has them.

Cheap springs. I knew had a guy who had them on his Honda. He was one of those Honda bros, but his car rode okay with stock struts.

Since you're looking for opinions, I'd spend the extra money to get a set of Ebiachs or ST's, because those are proven names.

Suspension is one thing you should never skimp on due to budget. Generally you get what you pay for. Unless knowledgable multiple people come in saying these are the best thing since sliced bread (which they would have already if they were great) save a few hundred more up and get RCE or Swifts

If thats the case what about the Megan racing lowering springs? They are a little more expensive and Ive seen some people say they work well.

keep in mind that if you lower your car too much (I'd say over 1 inch) then you will have problems with the short life of your struts.

spend some money and do it right the first time. don't cheap out as it will cost you more in the long run. I recommend RCE yellows, though they are a bit pricey however it's money well spent. the Eibach's aren't bad either since it's basically the same as the TRD springs.

Eibach pro kits. the sportlines are too much for the oem struts. Like you were saying you can shorten strut life but the main thing is you lose travel and end up with a bouncing uncontrollable ride from riding the bumptstops

Megan suspension is very cheap and in general has a very bad reputation. Some of the worst coilover on the market.

Best spring choices for a non crap ride and better handling are: Racecomp Engineering Yellows, Swift, or Eibach Prokit.

I just got a muffler delete. Not a full exhaust.
