    16" wheels Lowering spring options?

    What springs are you all finding to run the best (minimal rub/best look/and solid & stiff ride/performance???)


    I want to go lower for sure but i want to have a solid feel as well as look w/o breaking the bank. also im not trying to be bottomed out just want a sportier stance..

    if it matters... i will have a 24v engine going in by end of the year..

    H&r race and ie3s are very popular (they are almost the same rates)

        I've only ridden in cars with them I would describe them as "stiff" but when paired with blistien sports , not too bad for a daily unless your roads are really bad , ie3s do like too have a bit of reverse rake so you will probabley want to use e90 drop hats

          Oh yeah and your looking at about 1.5-2.1 inches of lowering in the front and 1.5 in the back

            The IE3/Bilstein Sport combo is hands down my favorite out there.

            To get the front down with them most people cut 1/2 coil, cut full coil, or run drop hats.
