Best Springs, Biggest Drop

What would the best springs be to drop a 2.4SS coupe the most?

I see all eibachs say they drop 1.5"

I want more like a 2" / 2.5" drop all around, maybe more in the back. And i want it to ride like its on rails....

what would the best springs be for that application??

the ssc springs might not have the lowest drop, but the stance is absolutely perfect

if you wanna drop that much....with that good of handling....i think maybe you should look into a spring strut combo, or coilovers.

I dont think springs alone will give you what your lookin for.

Remember super low does not always equate to good handling. I have the the H&R sports, and have already had my axles replaced (car only has 20,000 miles). the drive angle of the axles is off just enough to cause premature wear. Keep that in mind, unless you plan to upgrade your axles.
My 2 cents

I havent seen to many cars with tenzo springs that have equal wheel gap.

Looks like you have a few bodies in the trunk.

Best handeling and lowest drop are 2 different springs. Its been argued that the best handeling would go to either Eibach's Pro-Kit(which I chose) or their Sportlines (which most people choose for the added lowering).

From My research I found more people are satisfied with the Pro-kit after installation. I find that not only does it make the ride smoother but when it come to the twisties you absorb the imperfection that you see on regular roads much better than stock. They keep me and Coby planted in High G turns with bumps where stock spring would send me Bouncing around.

Still If you want to go real low; there are airbags for sale.

I have the Zenn springs in mine. Dropped the front 2'' and the back 2 1/4'' Came to a nice even drop. Have the same gap all around. I'll try and post pictures soon.
