'02 C230K Coupe
If you're gonna SCCA it, look into shocks as well. Eibach and H&R sell the spring/shock kit, and if you already have springs, you can also look at Koni (adjustable). It'll be better for your handling if you get a set of sport shocks to go with your springs.

NobleC230, I didn't cut any coils on my springs or anything, just installed them normally. Although I do drive my car somewhat aggressively, I rarely do limit driving. Plus I don't mean to say my shocks are DEAD (my RSX-S friend's shocks are DEAD, I know what it feels like), but also feeling another friend's car (323ci + H&R cup-kit), I can tell my shocks are already affected to a significant degree. Definitely looking forward to attempting a few tracks on my car after getting the shocks, though.
