After searching and searching through different setups, I still can't find what springs provide the biggest drop. I'm not planning on doing any autocrossing or drag racing so I need something mainly for looks honestly. 2.2 inches and less would be sweet. From what I see sportlines offer the biggest with just a mere 2.0 inch drop, which still isnt much on our cars considering the crazy wheel gap we possess. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could suggest springs for me or even a cheap set of coilovers.

Tanabe just put out a spring that drops 2-2.5 inches. Don't know if they make it for the 240 yet.It's called the DF210. Here is some of the caption.

Thank you for steering me away from cheap parts. I'm a broke college student and I'm very desperate so sometimes I say very stupid things I don't mean. Tanabe is quality, think I might go with these, however does anyone know how much of a drop Intrax springs provide?

So I found the Tanabe dress up springs for cheap, now how do I find a strut that matches it? I keep hearing about how spring rates and dampening **** have to match.

i dunno dude, my buddy ahs the prokits on his s14, and the wheel gap is basically gone. well most of it anyways. after it settles a little it will drop just a bit lower.and im afraid to drive it over some roads here, where they all suck.

i just don't think you want a big *** drop like that without replacing the struts.

Of course I'm replacing the struts. I think I'm going Tanabe dress up or sportlines. Now I just have to ick a decent non adjustable strut. Any suggestions?
