Teins run about 200 to 220ish on ebay. Sounds like he's gonna heat your springs. Do it right the first time.

Compression=fail. You can find decent spring sets that would run $1-200 that wouldn't turn your car into complete ass.

Save up and do it right the first time.
Heatin' up your OEM springs is the ghetto way to lower your car.
