Default Lowering Springs

hey guys, I have coils in my car but I want to change over to lowering springs. I want a nice drop, I don't wan't much of a wheel gap just a nice "even" look with my 15's but not too much of a slammed look. I recently had eibach road race springs and I didn't like the drop it was way too high still. What kit and model springs do you recommend for my needs. Im looking towards h & r, neuspeed or eibach. So comments would be great here and pics would be wonderful. Thanx guys.

Use the search function. This has been answered way too many times before.

i have Neuspeed's & they work well; but I need something a little more aggressive- these are too soft. I like the stiffness(harshness) that coil's provide Vs. my "soft" springs. my car is dropped 2.25" f & 2.00" r . I guess these aren't really too soft, I just prefer a firmer ride.

my rear passenger side does rub but I think that's b/c of teh 17's that I currently have on there. as soon as my ZC is in & my AC is fixed I am getting smaller wheels so the rubbing should stop *hopefully*

My hatch is dropped 1.75 inches on Tokico blues with RS-R Down springs. I'm not satisfied with the drop, still too high with the GSR wheels I'm rollin on. I may go with Intrax Super Sport springs. They lower the front 2.5" and the rear 2.3".

I never heard of those springs you guys mentioned. I also have 15's, powdercoated gs rims so im guessing 1.75 is still too high. My old springs were 1.6 and they were way too high for me. So maybe a 2 inch drop would be perfect or the Intrax springs you mentioned. I'll see if I can get a hold of a set, thx guys

Eibach Sportline is a very nice drop when rolling on 15's. Check into them
