Just another inch..that's what she said

So I wanna get rid of the 4x4 look. But I don't want to scrape everywhere. I'd like to drop an inch or inch and a quarter maybe. Not my daily but is still like a decent ride. Wouldn't mind YYZ v2 but not sure if I'd get an inch from them. Maybe sport lines? Lets hear it guys, what are your thoughts?

YYZ v2. Lower than stock, but not scraping low.

Sox, are you hanging a right in that picture? Is it showing a little squat ?

I have sportlines and i think they lower about 1.5 inches. There are better springs though.

That's slightly to the right. You can see the "dry" line isn't to the right though. I took the last cone a bit too aggressive and too wide and am off line.

And yes, I always race with the window down. Autox, Drag, road course. Doesn't matter. Window is down.

There are a lot of pictures of the car on YYZ on my facebook and instagram. that's pretty much the way it always sits. Right were I want it in the front, with a little bit of rake. The car has lost the 4x4. Isn't slamming or scraping, and has plenty of wheel travel to ride and handle nice. I topped it off with the Konis in the rear. Really nice.

I'm going to go against the grain and say H&Rs. I rocked mine for...2-3 years. Lowest drop on springs I believe. Rode like absolute ****, but don't expect a good ride quality on any of these springs

Except for YYZs or Pedders

If you want the lowest spring and don't care about quality go with b&g.


Never mind. You want a decent ride.

YYZ or pedders all the springs ride like crap. I say this because I've ridden on CMs, SSC, H&Rs, Eibachs, Pedders, and YYZs. The last two felt comfortable. The others all felt the same.

Sscs lower it perfect but like any lowering spring, rides like ass (i.e., just like stock)

Slammed stance coils > h&r's. My ride quality improved when I put my stances on this year

CM springs don't ride like crap. Not compared to the h&r that I've felt.

I got sportlines (came with the car)
how can I describe ride quality......hmmmm
imagine going on a roller coaster. now take that concept and put your ass cheeks on the pavement. drag em across the street. combine both feelings and BAM sportlines.
