Jamex...if you can find them. They pulled out of the USA, but had excellent springs for $99 total (for all 4).

Look in Summit. They have Intrax for like $189. They drop you about 1.5 inches. I'm probably gonna get 'em.

Hey Formuladave how much did those Jamax springs lower you car? I know a guy who has a few sets and I was thinking about getting them but want to know what to expect. Thanks in advance.

I liked the Jamex springs but they are no longer sold in the US. My next set will be Eibach ProLine but they may not be the cheapest. For your suspension needs see Steve Spohn, he has the best parts for the money in my opinion.

EDIT: Snow427, This is what my RS looked like with Jamex springs.

I found www.shox.com while searching for suspension deals on the internet. They don't advertise on the internet because of their low prices? I had to call them. They had a set of Bilsteins for 419.00 and said they would sell the Eibach Pro-kit for $199 since I was buying the shocks. Anybody know where you can get a set of 4 Bilsteins cheaper than $419.00?
