which spring will give me the lowest drop?

 

neuspeed race, 2.25 inch drop

If you wanna slam, go with skunk2 sleeves or progress coils. I got my skunks down about 3 in.

 

even though i drive an EM2 thought maybe i could throw in a few words

i have DropZone, they are very nice, they are jus coil over sleeves and fairly cheap if you have no money like me and will do the job just fine!

handling=
stiffness=
ride=bumpy because they are stiff, but
warrenty=
adjustable=0"-4" i have mine almost to the bottom

 

just wanted to throw in these few words because ^^ this guy and myself are dropped on sleeves over stock struts. NOT the best way to do it if handling is priority.

Get something with a softer rate and milder drop to match the stock struts


A) bump steer (toe changes during suspension travel)
B) riding on the bump stops during suspension compression.
C) roll center getting lower far faster than the Center of Gravity, causing a much larger moment arm, and consequently understeer and less grip by AKEP

EP3 + low drop = a very poor handling car.

I'm not going to lay out the physics for you, but on mac strut cars, a 'slammed' car will not work properly unless other changes are made.

You'd be better off compromising and getting a medium drop so you can retain some degree of suspension travel.

Couldnt have said it any bettter; but the neuspeed race springs are alright if you get rear camber kit. Front bolts have enuf play that ou can dial in a bit more neg. camber.

I myself am improperly slammed, but its all for looks.

 

if your going to get sleeve coilovers then get ground-control.

Here is a link showing why Dropzone suck: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1534130

 

nuespeed race is the lowest spring for the ep... if you want to go extremely low then go with skunk2 or ground control.

but if i were u id save the trouble.
i went thru like 5 diffrent setups, before finding the right one, which were the progress coilovers. this thing goes low and is super smooth and wasnt too bad on the wallet

 

Progress owner here.
Had Tein SS, front doesn't go low enough with those.

 

Progress here too... 1.8" front and 1.5" rear drop.

 

used to have neuspeed race on my em2, looked very nice. i recommend them.

but what i dont understand is why would you drop your car to the point where it is like 1" off the ground. it ruins the vibe of the car, and makes it handle/look like crap.

 

skunk2 coils

 

H&R race springs

its not really 1 inch off the ground, and it looks alot better
