Hi I'm going buying lowering springs soon for my ek9. Thinking in r around 50mm. I can't afford a good set of coilovers,so I said I'll settle with springs. I'm wondering what way should I lower it?I mean should I lower it the same all around or should I lower it more in the front? I'm hearing different story's, some people are saying lower it bit more in the front than the back, and others are saying, lower it the same all around.. Much appreciated if some people could let me no b4 I go buying springs ha..thanks

i am going in the same question!
I think the best option could be EIBACH lower springs and skunk2 camber kits in OEM ek9 shocks.... if you want only track... BILSTEIN stuff

You said yourself that the only reason you're doing springs is because you haven't saved enough for coilovers. Why not keep saving? There are plenty of good options around $1000, or you could go used. I would rather have a good set of used coilovers than brand new lowering springs on stock shocks. EK9 springs are already special, and of course with lowering springs you may lower the remaining life of the shock.
Another benefit of coilovers is that it's easier to sell off a full EK9 suspension to recoup some of your money than it is to sell just the springs.
And then if you're paying for someone to do this involved job, that's potentially more money for labor than the springs themselves. Installing coilovers takes decidedly less time than springs and you'll save on labor. If you're doing it yourself, again it's an involved job and why not do it when you're installing something you're more proud to have on the car that will perform better? Where you don't need any specialized tools to do the job?
