I'd Run Megan Racing Springs. Drop is ~1.75" and has some decent spring rates.

If you ABSOLUTELY have to just get springs, as opposed to a full coilover setup, then i would def get either the Eibach or the H&Rs. If youre looking into a coilover sleeve...then maybe Ground Controls would be something to look into.

The thing is, because you are gonna have stock shocks, the ground controls might be a bit too much, so you should probably try sticking to Eibach, or something along those lines.

the eibach sportlines drop 1.7 in the front and 1.7 in the rear.

The coilover sleeves will give you more room for adjustability, but theres no telling how long your shocks will last with them...

for a true overall performance, and piece of mind, you should look into a full coilover setup like Omni, Tein etc.

Let us know how it turns out.

Eibach Sportlines on KYB AGX 5 way adjustables



Tein Flex, upgraded springs, custom valving.



Sportlines ride ok with the KYB AGX

But if you want ultimate adjustability and superior handling, go with a full coilover setup. its a little extra money, but you will be happier in the long run.

^^ your sidemarkers are installed wrong unless you want them that way.

Anyway's I say go w/ Skunk2 adjustable springs or GC but I doubt the itr shocks can handle a big drop so I'm going to say maybe even the Tein S springs would be good for you

i have H&R Race springs on KYB AGX's...your car seems to sit more evenly than mine. seems like my car has a little muscle car rake to it.



...atleast it looks that way to me. i want the rear end just a touch lower...

FYI:

1st pic: car was stock, recently bought...it came with that clear sidemarker in that location

2nd pic: i didnt like the look of the clear sidemarker, so to prevent me from getting new fenders, i changed the side markers to the jdm itr ones, and just put them in their place...

if it was up to me, i wouldnt have side markers...it kills the whole cleanliness of the car imo, but it was either swap them out for better looking ones, or getting 2 new fenders...and theres no point to get new fenders when mine were perfect....
