Default question concerning springs.

are there any springs on the market that lowers 1'?? 1' or little less, not those .5' ones, I want to have it low but not have to scrape my front lip all the time going up a ramp.

So far I know that,
Neuspeed - 1.25
KGMM - .5 and 1.35??
HKS - 2
H&R -??
MGracing - 1.5

anything else??

i've tried both H&R and KG/MM.

i found the H&R to be too soft (for my driving style, anyway)

so i replaced them with KG/MM's - a little firmer than stock/H&R's but that in turn provides much flatter cornering and reduced body roll - i love 'em. i have a hardtop, so the "tightness" is even more pronounced.

i did the swap a few months ago and the drop has now settled to about an inch and a half.

the H&R's had settled to about an inch.

i have 18's so the additional "drop", also tucks in the rear wheels (neg. camber) better as well.

the car looks hot and handles really well for what you end up spending ($250US, i think) - i consider this to be one of those "good upgrades" in my opinion.

i'm going to complement the KG/MM's with Koni yellows shortly...

regards.
