Default Lower Springs

hey everyone, simple question, I would prefer it answered by people who have first hand experience either owned or ridden in a lowered S

I would like to lower my car a bit, no more than 1", I would like the ride to remain the same, if it's a little stiffer then I don't mind, but not that much more rougher, (gf has lower back problems, however would keep her out of the car hmmmm). keep in mind I want it to handle the same if not better.

I was thinking the Tein H or S, I rode in Bobs2000 car with the Tein S, It seem to be smoother than my stock 00 (00 best year made by the way, in the fastest color, black)

Tell me what you think.

So do these springs offer about 1" lower with OEM-like ride on stock shocks?

I had Kg/MM's on mine and they were fine. My Mrs. wouldn't like a hard ride either for the same reason and she never said anything bad about the ride.

Majority of the spring available for the S are not going to bang you around like a set of cut springs... You should be fine with whatever you choose.

Thank being said... I would avoid neuspeed springs.

Here is pic of my S when it was on Espelirs.

Cool, I guess I'm going with the TEIN H or S, the reals ones ofcourse, I can get them from a member here for about $135 or something like that.

Like I said I rode in bobss2000 and he has the tein S, its smoother than my 00, so I'm wondering if the tein H would be too stuff. I guess I can get them and if I think there too stiff I can sell them and get some tein S

Nice drop with the Espelirs, how much did it lower it?

whats the drop with Kg/MM's?

whats the cost on both?

I want to lower it by next weekend if I can

thank's guys

So we can use lowering springs instead of using coilovers? This wont hurt the car or be too bouncy?
