Hey guys,
what springs will give me a drop of 1" or less while stiffening up the ride? I have looked into the ltuned but would like a stiffer setup than that. As for the drop i could drop a little more than an inch but thats pushing it.

I got Tanabe NF210 and they are soft and comfort. If you want stiff, you would have to get Tanabe DF210 or Teins springs.

Get some Bilstein performance struts. It will stiffen it up.

tanabe wont work "Tanabe Sustec DF210 lowering springs are for those who want the lowest drop."
so the tein sustech are the way to go, eh? will i have to do anything to make stock 17" wheels fit and how stiff are they

L-tuned springs give you a minimal drop...about 1 inch.

Wht not just get a nice set of coilovers that have adjustible damping and rebound? That way you can set it up for exactly the minimal drop you want and also how stiff/firm you want the ride to be.

I looked into these but from what i heard they ride just like factory minus the float at high speeds

You are exactly right! I thought this was the perfect solution and was gonna do it until my wallet gave me a wake up call most of the coilovers are around 1k but springs are only 300

I once was going the same route as you. And then regretted that I went with springs/shocks combo.

If you are not in a hurry I suggest you should wait and get some coilovers. Do it once and do it right.
