best spring to buy for lowering and ride qualituy

Springs aren't a cheap way out. The car came with springs from the factory. Just stick with a quality, proven brand. For our cars that puts you at Eibach, H&R, and Swift. All of these lower the car enough that a camber kit would be recommended if you don't want to chew through tires.

Quality springs (Eibach, H&R, Swift) and a good camber kit (SPC, SPL, Eibach) will last as long as you need them too and keep you from having issues with tires.

Disclaimer: I may have missed a few brands. No knock on them, I'm just going off the top of my head.

so springs with no camber causes chewing through tires? no chance it wont? Bc i just dropped 600 on new tires, hate for them to wear faster than say 15,000 miles

You'll need:

Spring Installation: $150 ($200 book price)
Front camber arms: $250
Installation of camber arms: $90
Alignment: $70

Your cheap springs will cost you $800 in the end, and that's not even counting after market rear camber/toe arms. Without those you'll be able to get -2.0 rear camber at best, which is good for track performance but not for tire wear.
