Default Switching to sport suspension? worth it?

Want to get lower when I put my new wheels on, but not too low, just so it doesn't look like ***. Someone has offered to sell me thier used sport springs for 175.00. Will I need sport shocks as well? Anything else? sway bar etc? Money is a concern, if i could get it all for 300.00 would it be worth it?

I'd say it's a worthwhile upgrade, and that you should be able to find it all for $300.

Default $175 way too much for OEM sport springs..

I picked up a set of low mileage used sport springs and shocks for less than that.Remember how much the labor is to install everything + alignment.

Default no, too much$!!!...

I bought a set of used w 25k miles sport springs AND shocks for $150, and then sold them for $150 when I didnt end up using them. either wait for a cheaper set or spend a little more and get a used aftermarket suspension, good luck
