Default Dissapointed with my drop (F-Sport)... What springs should I get? (pics included)

Alright, so I JUST got these springs installed and I'm dissapointed with them. F-Sport Springs...
Help me out, need recomendation on a tiny bit more aggressive drop. Something more even as well, as the front isn't even w/ the rear drop. HELP!!! If you could included pictures to show me drops, that would be great.
Thanks.


My drop:

H and R springs are drop 1.4 front and 1.3 rear. Few members here have it in their cars. Too lazy to search though.

Or Tein S-techs. Heard a lot of good things about them. Drop is 1.6 front and 1.2 rear I believe. There's pix floatin around but a search should bring up a ton of threads about them.

yes, I gotz AWD. Does that really matter though? I believe Springs like the Eibach Pro Kit 250's would work as they are basically the same as the 350's...

anyone w/ pics of the Eibach 250 Pro Kit? I think they may be what I'm looking for.

iSuxel Coils only.

OP Go with the Tein S Techs Or get the coils offered by our new vendor. I sold my Tein S Techs to a local member IceZ if you want to PM him and he can show you pics. Here is a pic of my car with them on but I am RWD....



here is close up of front:


close up of rear:


hope that helps
