    If you want an honest opinion, they are trash. The ride quality is less than on par with other springs, the handling characteristics, although better than stock, also leave much to be desired for. Unless you are getting an outrageous deal on them, I would look elsewhere. This is, of course, my opinion and I'm sure that someone else will tell you how much they love theirs.

    Before I can make a "good" recommendation, what are your intentions for the car? Is this a daily driver? Do you plan to autocross, drag, drift, road race, or a combination of any of these? Perhaps you just want it to look good? Also, what price range would you like to stay in? The Arospeed springs generally run about $120-$150 (I think), is that about where you'd like to stay?

    Thumbs up what I want

    First and foremost I want it to look good and I want it to see the track every now and then! More of daily driver than track car.

    I want at least a 2in drop.

    I doubt you can get all you want without dropping at least $600-700... figure some better springs and aftermarket shocks. But with soo many other springs choices out there you could beat me over the head with a stick and I still wouldn't use Arospeed.

    I personally don't care for them, but if you want a drop that substantial, you should go with a coilover setup. If you do want springs, I would probably use Eibach Sportlines which will give you the +/- 2in drop that you're looking for. They run about $220 to $250, I believe, but you're going to have to get some high quality shocks unless you want to feel like you're always riding on a gravel road. These are a good quality springs, but the ride may be a bit harsh for what you're looking for.

    I agree with the above posters. The arospeed springs a subpar in ride quality and performance. Go with either a coilover setup (D2 suspension, ground control/koni, tein, somethign of that nature) OR a good shock spring setup, koni yellows and eibach or such. dont slouch on your suspension, you will regret it, when your bouncing up and down the road on blown shocks, or becuase hte spring rates suck.
