Default Ebay lowering springs... Thoughts

What do you guys think about these?

>>> JDM 1.7"/1.5" DROP SUSPENSION RED RACE LOWERING SPRING/SPRINGS 450F/250R(LB) | eBay <<<

I really want to lower my monte and wanna give these a try, what all other parts would I need to replace and what not? If its just about swapping the springs with the factory ones then it sounds fairly easy. Id like to get another set of used struts first though. That way I can still have my stock ones to just bolt back in if I wanted to lol I'm no cheap *** btw but if these will work and save me some $$$ then I'll give them a try first haha

Made by DNA Motoring... hmmm. I believe they are the same people that sell/sold Speed Daddy headers and since those are good maybe their springs are good too???

Haha! You should buy 'em and find out, if it turns out well I might have to get some too

I was thinkin the same but then I removed the subs cuz I hated the sag lol.. Got a full inch lift without my 12s.

Dropping the front would possibly give me a reason to put them back in lol

If you can find some reviews or something on their quality, I would go for it, even if you don't like it, $88 bucks isn't bad at all to give it a try, especially if you can do all the labor yourself.

What all did you replace? Just the springs?

yea that's what I was thinking.. $88 isn't much for a full set of lowering springs lol it's deff worth a try
Like I said I'll probably get another set of struts to put them in, that way I can unbolt my stock ones and replace them with the lowering ones

I was just looking at these too! Might go for it and try, 88 bucks isn't much compared to most other lowering sets.

I haven't lowered my Monte yet, but from what I've read you would also (at the very least) want to install anti-pogo washers and shorter dog bones.
