    Best Springs?

    I have H&R springs right now that were on the car when I bought it but its not low enough. (click the link in my signature to see pics) I am going for a sick stance here, I'm guessing a need a 2 inch drop. What type of springs should I get? Adjustable ones are a bonus

    Anyone recommend these?

      If you want to do it cheap, buy a set of Richards 15mm drop hats and pull the rear spring pads.

              Im on h&r race and they are very low. down right slammed. keep in mind all drop ratings are based on the heavier m20. If you have a 318 results will vary. I have heard good things about ground control.

                As far as I know they are exactly the same springs just a different manufacturer

                  H&R race and IE3s are almost identical, they have the same springs rates except IE3s have less of a drop up front which tends to make early models look less raked.

                            There is no such thing as "best springs". Hopefully you are not going to install springs such as H&R Race or IE Stage 3 and don't do anything with your shocks. When you go low you need to run stiff springs or you'll be riding on your bumpstops and have a really shitty ride.... bounce all over the place.

                            The coilover kit you posted is very popular, you can call GC and get it with different rates / springs etc.

                              That is actually about the ride height I'm looking for. I want a good stance and no fender gap but I don't want to be scraping on the ground.

                              How much will H&R race springs run me? The GC coilover kit is $400, about the top of my budget.


                              And roysneon, where are you from?
