Best Springs
What are the best all around springs to go with while staying with the stock suspension? I'm stuck between the eibach, tein, neuspeed, and espelir springs. I'll have 18s and I want to have a pretty low drop, but also not have to worry about rubbing at all. The wheels are 18x8 and 18x9. Any extra input would be appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks

Espelir is a good choice for the price. It lowers the car about 1.3 inches all around if I remember correctly, and the ride is just a little stiffer than stock. Whether you will have rubbing issue is determined by the offsets of your wheels and your choice of tires. What offset/width wheels and brand/width of tires do you use?

I have RS*R Ti 2000 springs. They are tianium, which is lighter than the stock springs. They offer a little stiffer ride. They lower a little over one inch (I forget exactly how much). There's about a one finger gap all around now. All in all, its a win-win. Lose weight and gain better looks in addition to a little better handling.
I can't comment on running 18's with these springs as my wheels are stock. Good luck.

Im in the same position, the car is low enough but I have 17's and I want to improve handeling so Im stuck between eibach pro- 1 inch drop allaround and rs-r that my boy mentioned above which drop 0.8 in the front and 1.3 in the rear ( im not to sure how that will look) if anyone knows please help. I think Im going with eibach becuase it is still a smooth ride and you know you can trust them. Also I dont want more than an inch drop

The RSr's look great on my car. Like I said before. Its a one finger or a little less gap all the way around. I've seen the results of most springs available for the S, and they're all pretty close. The RSr's offer a great ride. A little stiffer, but not enough to rattle your teeth.
