Default Any other springs have a similar drop to Daizen?

I'm looking for a progressive drop.....lower drop in front then in back.

I know Daizen springs are 1.9" in front and 1.7" in back.

Any other options that are similar?

I know Sprint springs are 2" all around, but again I want the progressive look.

Thanks CL

I have the Tanabe DF210s and my suspension has settled to a point where it has eliminated almost all wheel gap. This is also on the stock 17" wheels.

Honestly, it is a bit too low for me, especially with the TTE lip.

Too low for ya? Most folks want that. I admit that I'm a bit scared in getting the front lip because of the chance of it getting damaged easily.

aesthetically, the 2GS sits lower in the rear than in the front; hence probably the reason why spring mfr's specs drop more in the front than the rear.

daizens, tanabe DF's, and espelirs are comparable.

just my 2 cents, you may want to go w/coilovers when contemplating a drop at those measurements.
