Question Springs

Hi:
This might be a hard question for u guys, well at least heard for me...
I just purchase a set of Bilstein shocks, i dont know what kind of springs can lower my car for no more than 2 inches also keep a fair amount of comfort...

L-Tuned and Eibach and possibly H and R. L-Tuned are 1.2 or so, and very similar to stock ride. Eibach are about an inch even and same comfort. H and R I believe are a bit stiffer and a 1.5 or so drop. Good luck.

similar to what Anthony said..

Eibach: ~1" drop,
H&R: ~1.2-1.3", slightly higher spring rate than the stock

most JDM springs from japan:

Front: 40mm/1.6"; Rear: 30mm/1.2"
(this is the drop i have after i seen several GS drop with Eibach and HR, i felt that neither is enough, and the gap would still be there, realtively speaking)

i am selling a set of Brand New JDM Tanabe springs in the GS classified, made in japan, ~ same spring rate as the stock.

Hey Will,

Got any pics of your car with the these springs on??? The 1.2 might be okay with me in the rear...you know with the system in the back....so these would be a better ride than H & R??? If you have pics post them or e-mail them to me Dagr8tsthustla@aol.com.

Thanks!!
Danny
