Looking to lower my ride

Ok, I need to lower my ride and have about $200 or less to spend on lowering springs. I am getting new tokico hp blues(non adjustable) struts and need some springs that will work well with them. I heard good things about the max speeds and just wanted to know who has what and how they like it. I don't really want that much of a harsher ride or noises.

Thanks,
Robert

I personally wouldn't match anything with tokico blues. I haven't heard anything good about them. Have you bought the blues yet? I think you might want to save more money and buy H&R with illuminas or GR2's. You'd be more happy and you'd get the nice ride you want. Just my opinion.
Good luck

well i', leaning toward max speeds cause they don't seem that much harsher and are half the price as the h&r. Also they are more even of a drop. And I am getting my blues swapped out under warranty from tokico so i can't get illuminas nor do i really need the adjustables.

if you look at some other related posts just a few pages back or so, you will probably find a dozen and somewhere you will read that the HP Blues can blow out very easily and will therefore not be good with a 1.5-2" drop. i know that the Illuminas are warranted up to a 1.5" drop. what will your blues be warranted to? anything?

well considering i had no receipt and got them used on the car and they are replacing them for free i'm not worried about the warranty. Besides what am i going to do to swap themfor Illuminas?
