stiffest springs

i really want to get new springs but i want more than a 1 inch drop. i want the stiffest possible but would also like a drop of like 1.6 inches. are dropzones stiff? would b+g be jst as stiff or would h+r be better

find an industrail spring factory in ya area to make some up for ya. they shouldnt cost anmore then $100 for a set of 4 over the price of Eibachs or Tiens but you will get your own preferred height/rate.

if you need something a little more flexible then custom rate/height, then its time for some ksport adustable coilovers @ less then 1k. which if you buy a decent set of struts too, youll realise that maybe you should just save for coil overs

Coilovers will probably be your best bet. Get a stiff spring rate setting and set your dampers to the hardest setting.

Ksport and D2 have them for our cars. I have yet to install my D2's.

H&R: 1.5" drop

Intrax: 1.75" drop?

Sprint: 1.8" drop. Sprints sag and the drop is uneven (the rear is lower), so be warned.
