Minimal Drop Springs
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 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

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