    I need wheels and lowering springs

    JDM is not a company, it's more of a style. Japanese Domestic Market.. anything from Japan can be considered "JDM", and it's pretty much a style too. Cue the JDM Fanboys :roll: In all honesty, OP, spend the extra money. It will be worth it. If you get springs, get a set of struts to...
