Pretty sure its a non-expiring offer.

Tyler did my springs over a year ago and did a great job. Both of Darren's minions have a lot of passion for cars and they treat all our cars like they're theirs.

Also, I am considering switching out to coilovers to get my car a little lower than it currently is and improve my ride quality. id like to get down to about 2-2.25 inches of overall drop, but a lot of the cars I have ridden in that have coil overs were not exactly what I expected. Probably going to need some advice of where to start looking or just say F it and stay on my eibach sportlines. If I stay on my sportlines, then it gives me more budget to spend elsewhere, so idk.... decisions decisions.

Yup, the offer is still going... $40 for springs and $60 for coilovers. Text or PM me when you want to get the car in here and we will make it happen.

I'd love to lower my car...but I really don't feel like dropping $1500 on a good set of Coilovers. What is the best direction to go without sacrificing ride quality?

if you go with a mild drop on lowering springs your ride won't suffer much...I'm running Eibach Pro kits which is .8-1 inch drop and the ride quality is similar to stock although a little bouncier there is no way to not sacrifice some ride quality and drop on the cheap

Same drop for me but I went with the H&R Sport Springs. I've had them on since November and I really happy with the ride quality, never been a low and slow guy. They feel really close to stock though and once it get the wheels I want my gap will be gone :happyanim:

Check @stockysnail build page. Hes running RCE Yellows/Konis and his car drives great. I rallied it up 101 last summer and the ride quality was much improved over my stiffer than hell sportlines. Mine were bouncy at first, but as they have broken in they have reduced the bounce quite a bit.
