I am currently using Tokico shocks with Tein S-Tech springs. I live in the city and the pot holes are every 5 feet, the teins are way too stiff. I was wondering what is the softest springs set i can get but still keep the cornering power and not a HUGE drop.

Check out the FAQ man!

Theres a whole list of springs with rates and lowering amounts. I think Pro Kits may be the softest...

The drop is what gives you the minscule improvement by lowering the body C of G by 5% you reduce the transfer weight in a curve by 1-2%.........this helps improve the linearity of the tire load vs friction created.

Lowering is primarily for LOOKS!
