Well car is in the shop and getting mad work done i hope to have it ready by next week, but they told me my suspention is alright but not the best. i am looking for a decent price for some
H&R springs = i have been quoted $400 + tax here in victoria but that to me seems a bit high

Re: Any Idea's..
i think they're about 200$USD at corksport and i believe some of the members are going down there for the show and shine? it could save you the cost of shipping and duty/tax if they'd be willing to bring them back for you?
that is to say if you hadn't already planned on going.
thing to remember though is that if you're going with aftermarket sport springs, you will want to get a better set of struts.
the oem ones do not handle drops particularily well. there are a few expensive and less pricey options - like the using the zx2 (ford) r/s struts (do a search on hear and the suspension FAQ... lots of information about them and other strut options)
good luck

I remember I got H&R's in Victoria at SHC for I think it was $250.00, but that was a long time ago. May be try ordering them from Ontario or Quebec, they may be cheaper there, or US, but the box is quite huge, so shipping and duties may be an issue. Look on the Buy/Sell on the board, I am sure sooner or later someone will be selling them.
Alos, I think if your suspension is going, then you should be looking at better struts first and then springs. As Greg mentioned ZX2's are a good fair priced option. I would be willing to help you with those if you need.

Re: Any Idea's..
Your's are not monkey hands though, you know what you are doing with those ZX2's. At least you did your research.
Re: Any Idea's..
