Springs with most stockish drop?

buddyZ · 07-08-2012, 06:24 PM

Are there any springs where it just lowers a tiny bit? I just want a more firm ride its really soft right now.

RS*R or Tein H Tech. You might have to import from japan. (.4 to .6" drop)

Next is Eibach. (.8 - .9" drop)

And no, Nismo springs do not lower .4" I tried them. (was at same height just stiff as !@#%.)

Pick up the OEM Nismos from somebody -- perfect for your needs and can be gotten inexpensively

i thought swifts were suppose to do just that? lower a little, stiffer spring, and linear rate.

Well they lower 1.2" front and 1" rears. Thats not a little. But they are a great spring and better than Nismo that is for sure.

Ordered the swift spec r spring along with whiteline sway bars and some spacers, I'll make a post after I get the em all installed. Hoping it will be like riding on rails, if you get a sports car it should ride like its on a track
