He'll probably let you have it for $100 or even free (just pay shipping). and If you're curious how good is stock suspension? well here's a member doing autox on bone stock oem suspension. Stock suspension is good enough starting point for many motorsports event.

The work required to change the springs out is a lot. Save up for proper springs. Swifts would be the way to go. I got mine used for 250 shipped. Very much worth the cost and the drop looks great and rides even better than stock.

lol I just looked @ the listing and was coming here to post that the spring rate is hilariously low.

I was gonna say Dodge Neon, but Chrysler New Yorker is even better!

You should get them and take some videos of the car bouncing off the bump stops, it'll be awesome and hilarious!

Basically what everyone is trying to say is, no, don't do it. Your car deserves better.
