    Do they have anything printed on them? Possibly Eibach sportlines.

    Red springs are eibach(they would say eibach written on the coil), or cheapo dz sports(suck). Megans are orange.

    Bigger rims won't do anything since you will have bigger rims but lower profile tire, did you install teins or those red ones?

    I don't think all 4 shocks would be blown, but maybe 1 or 2, also there's the possibility you needed to cut the bumpstops to have a little more travel before bottoming out.

    We need full car pics to see the overall stance, but I've never heard anything about teins being bumpy in any way, comments are always about great ride quality and a bit better handling.

    Well its my first lowered car, maybe its just I have to get used to it. Ii migjt need to cut the bump stops cuz roads here are a pos and i jump a lot, i love the handling and how it moves but its no comfort on these crappy roads with random 1 foot deep holes

    Too low for Puerto Rican roads, but it looks nice, even familiar to me. Are you from Bayamon/near?

    Well bro with a lowered car here in PR you can't drive like with stock springs, need to slow down for everything on the road, if you know the road is all f*cked up go slow, obviously avoid every pothole you can and go at an angle on muertos y badenes. If you go straight your gonna scrape. When you get some bigger wheels like 17's or 18's your gonna have to be really careful if you don't want to crack a wheel.

    Also you need to think that you lowered it the right way and you are jumping less than those that cut their springs or take them out completely.

    Well, maybe it's the slight difference in spring rate + less weight of 3G.
