Default Looking for new springs

I'm looking for springs that will give me about a 1.7 to 1.9 inch drop. I want the drop to be even for all 4 springs. I have a 1.8 in the front and 1.6 in the back and I don't like it. Does anyone know some springs that will give me this?

I'm looking for some that are made to be the same all around. Can you guys post up some links for where you bought them from? I've been searching around for a while and haven't found too much yet.

what was wrong with the different drop in the front and back. usually it helps out handling and looks even anyway BTW TEIN makes awesome springs

i think eibach springs are exactly the same drop, while most drop a little more in the front.

some are and some arent. if you want an even drop it might just be easier to get coilovers. then you have full control over how even they are.

my friends and i just installed some tokico hp shocks and springs on my ek coupe...looks good and rides great...its supposedly 1.5" drop all around but my rears barely have a 2 finger gap (more than 1.5" drop) and my front is a lil bit higher like a 3 finger gap(about 1.5" drop)...im just waitin till its settled so that its the same all around...if not, i have to take a look at it again...

my friend has neuspeed race springs with tokico hp shocks...he loves the ride and the drop is nice...not slammed...just perfect...

Neuspeed or H&R is your best bet.

I am currently using eibach sportlines. They are great and even all around. They state that it's a 1.8" drop I think. Not sure... but Eibachs are the best IMO.
