I used valspar spray paint from lowes. It worked well. Mine are black.

I vote H&R.
I started years ago with H&R, then tried Eibach and Intrax.
I returned back to H&R because they were the most well-rounded.
Moderate lowering with a slightly raked stance, and a different ramp rate which seemed more comfortable in daily driving, but still benefited handling.
If you get beat up driving your car, you don't enjoy it as much.

Yup sounds about right. Can't wait to get my taxes back next year. Looks like around $700 in parts for springs, struts all the hardware - the labor well at least on tire rack anyway.

I have a set of h&r's paired with kyb gr2's... the springs have about 3000km and the struts are brand new... I'm seriously considering selling but they will cost you lol.... I'm not wanting to take a loss and will use them if they don't sell

rock auto is the only place to get the agx's. they are the cheapest on the net for gr-2s as well. I will be ordering one of the two for my front. H&R's and eibachs around $200 most places more. I found some 'sprint' lowering springs on ebay. cheapest for the n-bodys I can find. $130 free shipping, supposed to be a 1.6 drop all the way around.
not meaning to thread jack but anyone had experience with this 'sprint' im guessing ebay brand? due to the price and me being a broke college student im thinking about giving them a try.
