Default Odd question about springs....

Ok so i was wondering if there is any way i would be able to purchase lowering springs but only for the front of my car. I have a drop now but for some reason the front is higher then the back. I was thinking about s-techs but now i might want sprints. lol.
So would i have to buy all 4 or is there a way to get just the front 2???

Hmm well you can call the company but i see some things that could go wrong. If the spring rates are really mixed up it might affect the handling of the car.

Thats the beauty of coilovers, you can adjust them so they are all even. Maybe you should save up for something like that. The H&R's are 975 shipped for a nice set. And now im looking into function & form coilovers.

I wish I could save up for coilovers.
but..i don't see that happening soon lol..
i sent them an email hopefully they'll reply. I think if they decide to sell me just 2 it would be expensive though. Sprint sells their springs for $225 while other sites sell them for $185, so i might still have to buy all four if its a $20 difference.

well i like the drop on the back of my car its real low and the only springs that i think will go as low in front are the sprints and s-techs.

thanks but i'm pretty set on s-techs and sprints. sprints advertise 1.75 but everyone who has them get a 2.5 drop. good info though.



Would online stores that sell springs be able to order just 2??
