Perhaps you should wait more than six minutes before asking the question again. Most lowering springs are similar in price, hovering around $150 for all four.

I am not sure if there are any bad ones out there, but they do vary in drop and spring rate. Do some looking to see how low you want to go.

I have Hotchkis and like them.

Also, this should go in the corner carvers forum.

I have a set of Megan racing springs that has a 2" drop. They're only $69 on ebay. The only thing I don't like is that they are orange other than that the springs are nice, stiff but not much difference than stock.

We have Hotchkis and TRD spring. The Hotchkis springs are a little cheaper and offer a little more of a drop. They are also about 3lbs heavier that the TRD's. The TRD springs have a less aggressive drop and are about 10% stiffer than stock. If you're looking for cheaper hotchkis is probably you best bet. Chack out the links below.

Soft ride? yes. Very Low? no. Depends on your priority.

I also have hotchkis. I love the ride, a nice height, without all of the bounce. I makes me glad I got rid of my honda all those years ago.
