Question What spings to get?

Ok I want a set of springs that are stiffer then stock (But not much stiffer) and that will lower my car but I dont want to lower it more then say 3/4" front and back.

After doing a lot of looking I cant find any thing that will lower the car less then 1.3" or they will not lower it at all.

Any one know of a good spring with what im looking for?

Thanks

those amounts are pretty small, im guessing u want those because of the 235's? right.

The only thing i can think of is the Eibach pro kit drop front 0.0 rear 0.5.

Yeah the pro kit is not worth it as I dont want to drop the rear any more then the front and I will NEVER use coilovers agen. I would like the car to still be driveable!

And yes the 235s are big but I dont realy want to drop it any more then that even with the stockers. I will not be able to get in to my dads drive way or my inlaws or my best freinds if I go any lower then that.

Later

for such a minimal drop why dont you just cut your springs...but that leaves your stiffness issue...you could just buy aftermarket stiffer springs and cut those a little...

why never cut springs, besides the self-danger aspect

I live in Michigan and I have the prokits, I plan on going with a 19 inch wheel however and still have a little travel for "michigan" potholes. The pro kits handle excellent (better than sportlines I've had both) and rides slightly firmer than stock but very close to stock ride comfort. I'd say pro-kits or the H&R from Gravana talk to Matt Teske he'll take care of you.

i wonder why the pro kit would handle better than the sportline if the sportline has a lower center of gravity it should handle better but maybe there is something im missing

I would go H&R form Gravana. They said the ride is awsome, and the drop looks great. Plus, they meet the German TUV standards which are higher than US standards. Someone on here has them on their yellow SS/SC already. They have pics in their gallery, but nothing posted. I'll see if I can dig them up

When I PM'd him about them, he said it rides nice. He also said it doesn't rub, but he only has the stock tires on.

HE might not rub but I will! I dont have the stock tires on any more.
I think Im going to go with the prokit. Its not much of a drop but it will give me what I want.
I wish they droped it about another .5" then it would be almost perfect.

Thanks every one for the help. Ill probably call Jim at Gravana soon. Im geting a few other things right now first.

Later.
