hanap ka AI.com. or kung gusto mo bnew, dami choices depende sa budget. tanabe, h&r, neuspeed. about clip and compress, parehong di maganda. magkakaroon ng premature damage ng shocks and other suspension parts. the best pa rin after-market springs.

depends on the local availability. If your car is not popular to "modify", you might have to order your springs directly from abroad.

and which is better, clip or compress.

neither.

Compress (or heating the spring) will change the properties of the metal of the spring. It will become brittle at the point where it was heated and might snap/break anytime.

Clips will rattle when you drive over any irregularities on the road. These also move as the spring is being compressed & uncompressed. The clips might end up on one side of the spring or totally drop off your spring resulting in one corner riding higher than the others.

Cutting is another option and I don't recommend it too because the cut off side of the spring will not seat properly. This might result in the spring falling out of it's perch.

noted, thnx.
do u guys have any idea how much will it cost?

try mo si speedyfix.. when i had my lancer, i have asked him if he could get an H&R springs.. it would probably cost you about 10k (or less). pinaputol ko yung springs ko dati, which will give you the look you need pero madadalas kang magpalit ng shocks since the OEM springs was made for the weight of the car and trying to alter it will give you problems since naiba na yung "properties" ng support for the car (e.g. springs).

wag ka magpaputol, clip, or compress, tama si ghost hunter, pinagisipan ko na rin yan eh ung sa civic ko 2003, whitelines ung skin 7k ko nakuha, brandnew, pero mag h&r ka or tanabe, para iwas tagtag, kasi ung sakin grabe sa tagtag!!
