Sorry noob here
Im looking for lowering springs, not coilovers.
Looking at these at the minute, but want to know im buying the right thing before spending precious dough...
And also am i able to get these fitted without needing to buy new shocks etc?

Buy them from DPM Performance.
Much better service and better prices too.
I had Eibach Sportline on stock dampers and JOM coilovers - JOMs rode more comfortably and handled better.
This is covered in another post that was on here recently.

Will look into DPM Performance
But safety wise, is handling wasnt a huge concern, would these springs be all i need?

Personal choice not dangerous if you don't want to.
You'll have better handling and a much firmer ride if you do.
But if you're going to do that, you might as well buy coilovers.

Spring's if you want the look and coilover's for the look + handling...
AP Coilover's FTW!

In my opinion springs don't give a lowered look really.

Haha, I just think you can put JOMs on all the way down at the front to get a usable, low look (imho)
