With a 235 in the back on a +48, you shouldn't have a problem on espelirs.

I have them.. they ride very nice (extremely similar feel to stock over bumps) and lower just the right around.
Ok thanks

I'm really enjoying a stock ride for the first time in a few years, but I'd love to drop the car some. Any springs that will ride the same as OEM but give me a non SUV ride height look?

If you looking for a small drop try H & R springs .75 in the front and 1'' in the rear, just enough to cover the ugly weel gap without throwing alignment off too much.

Do you have the H&R springs on your car?
I thought it dropped 0.75" front, 0.6" rear.

Espelirs feel a lot like stock -- about the same stiffness. Handling characteristics were barely altered as well.

My Espliers Feel better than stock. The MY00 Spring rates are very stiff. It feels smoother for me. Also a bit more forgiving and I dont get as much throddle lift in the rear end. They are a great mod!

Well, it wouldn't be on nothing, since the car is being lowered and that's one of the main objectives. Also, since the car handles great in its stock form, maintaining that feeling is good, not bad.

What he said.. they feel and and handle very similarly to stock springs, but the car is lowered. I thought that was the goal?
