Which Brand springs will give me the lowest drop?

[blacky_s13]

Please help me.I have looked all over, but i really could not come up with anything..i was about to buy eibach springs because they claimed to drop over 2"...but after searching i found out that it was a lie.Help please.Pics if possible

I'm using Eibach Sportlines and they did lower my 240 over 2 inches. I forgot to cut the lower arm bushings in the front so my car is sitting on them and the front struts have no play.

I used K-Sport and i dropped 2". I also had Sportlines on my old 240 and it dropped it just under 2". Keep in mind what wheels you will be running. you might find dropping it lower then 2" will be to much and you will get tire rub. Just a thought

sportlines with 17 inch badly offset rims.

If your goal is to make your car look dizzope but handle like garbage I suggest cutting your stock springs and saving the money. The S13 has very limited front suspension travel, and as a previous poster already stated a 2" drop put his car on the bump stops. This is HORRIBLE from a handling perspective, and cutting the bump stops at this point is like putting a band aid on a cancer patient. Your question should be "which springs have a fairly high spring rate but lower my car as little as possible?" And make sure to match said springs with quality adjustable dampers like Konis or KYB AGXs. It won't look as cool when parked, but at least you won't look retarded driving with your front end bouncing all over the place.

you are correct ..what he did not explain is that the limited travell of the front suspention is the S13's weekness..it makes the car want to understeer in corners...if ya want to do it rite ..use coilovers..ya its only 3to 400 bucks for good springs..and the extra 5ooish might take time to save up...but think of what you will be getting....do some more reaserch man..and think carefully on what ya want out of your ride in the future.

thanks for the input guys...but all i wanted was a nice drop until i can afford coilovers.

think.about function ...suspention works by travell..if it is limited by lowering springs..then less travell..less suspention...save for the coilovers..its worth it.

these are h&r's im running 17 inch final speeds the car handles really well and has a pretty nice stance. deffinitly not a 2 inch drop tho. and sorry for the crappy pics

[reelyfast]

coilovers are definitely the best way to go, but like he said he really doens't care right now, and those springs claimed to have a big drop, so it should be waht he wants

Thanks for the help guys...
