Goo for kg/mm DR21 Racesprings 35 mm drop is perfect, 15mm makes the car too high.
I instaled racesprings over a mounth ago, and they have still not dropped down more than 25 mm.

There seems to be so many contradicting statements as to whether the oem shocks need to be replaced when installing these springs.
Dont mean to hijack your thread but has anyone got recommendations as to what shocks combine well with the KG/mms?

[B]1) good, smooth ride but you'll probably need aftermarket shocks after prolonged use

I run KG/MM race springs with 17" Volk CE 28N's.

1) Stiffness, ride?
For me, the ride is actually pretty damn harsh. Its the freakin california roads though. the springs are just reacting to every bump, crevice, insect on the road and freeway.
2) Driveway scraping?
I have not scraped or rubbed yet. I also have the OEM lip in the front if that gives you any idea. The key is to just take every driveway at a fairly sharp angle and do it nice and slow.
3) Handling?
I can't say handling has improved much, but it hasn't suffered either. My S is a daily driver so no track for me. I can say there is less body roll through. Thats a def. plus.
4) Looks (can you even see a 1/2" drop?)

Hope this helps

I posted my impressions of KG/MM race springs a while back. It should show up on a search.

thanks

Sorry about that. Forgot to answer #4.
No, you cannot see a 1/2 inch drop. a few friends of mine have the sport springs and you can't even tell its was dropped.
