    Stiffer than stock, but stock height?

    Is there such thing as this?

    Im looking to get a set of springs for the front to lower it about 1.5 inches and to stiffen it up, but the rear i would like to remain the same height, but gain some stiffness.

    Are there spring rates that are stiffer than stock, that are still stock height?

    Thanks...
    here is the car in question:

    first, are those mcoupe rep wheels?
    second, it will look goofy if you only lower the front. why not an even drop all around?

      H&R OE Sports are stiffer than stock and are supposed to lower the whole car about 1" all around. But really, your car needs about -3" in the front and -2" in the rear to make it look good.

            I'm with these guys. Even with 1.5" of drop, it'll still look funny. Which is why you should sell me your wheels, and you can go for some 15"ers. :D
