So in short, I would go for H&R/Neuspeed springs but dont stop there, you should look into some better shocks aswell.

buy some decent lowering springs that still keep the car above 100mm.

that way you won't need a cert and they will be safe with no poor quality issues such as noisey or poor fitting cheap coilovers.

$250 for coil overs plus $350-$400 for a cert.

vs maybe $300-$350 for some really good neuspeed springs 2nd hand.
... say i got some low ling springs, would i need to get my shocks shortened, if so how is it done?

theres a couple of places that do them have a search round on here and ull find the names.

its a good idea to shorten the shocks will make them last a lot longer
