My experience was spending roughly $200 on a set of springs and having a friend help me install them one sunny afternoon. There are cheaper spring options and good install walk-throughs here on the forum.

Awesome. Thanks! I like the idea of a drop but I wouldn't want to go more than 1.5" max. We live in a rural area and I need clearance for the various rodents and other small critters that suicidely charge onto the road.

On eBay springs range from ~$70.00 up to a few hundred. In the pricing middle are sets of Manzo springs. Know anything about them? I did read warnings about cheaper, so called "JDM" knockoffs, so would probably avoid those. Open ears for any advice/recommendations.

I'm going to search the forums on installation procedures. This is a project that I might undertake so long as it wouldn't interfere with my wheels/tires and also didn't require a lot of extra measures like camber adjustment. An alignment, I would, of course, be willing to do.
