I just bought my 98 Q45t and I'm looking at lowering it but I don't want coilovers on it. I've been trying to find lowering springs for it but not having any luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There has been a lot thrown around online about using S14 springs. I picked up some S14 lowering springs that ill be installing on my y33 here pretty soon. Ill make a thread on it with the results.

Can you post results if they do work or if any modifications needed.

S14 are way too weak.

Even the Eibach I had eventually weakened in front.

Some have said the Tein for the Y33 work, but I and some others have noted they were designed for a lighter car and not up to snuff for the FGY33.

Then you have to get the correct shocks (JDM only) and rehabilitate the suspension. Plan on everything or you will be chasing Prairie Dogs forever.
