Lowering Springs
I finally decided my baby going to sit lower to the floor. I just want to know what springs are out there, their lowering amount, and cost, and ride quality.I know there are millions of threads on this topic but i just want to compile that information easier for myself to make my decision. Thank in advance for the help.

I've got RSR Ti2000 springs. They lower the front by .8" and the rear by 1.4". They are made from titanium and according to RSR, are approximately 4kg lighter than stock. I paid around 300. There is almost no gap now (maybe a half a finger). The ride is stiffer while not overly harsh even on bumpy roads. I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend these springs.

...i got espelir's super active down springs from evasivemotorsports.com ...these springs give you 1.3-1.5" drops all around...ride is about the same as stock...
heres my post: ...http://forums.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.p...threadid=206125
it look a bit high in those pics..but the drop settled down some more....you might want to use the spring compressor to preload the springs if you dont want to wait for it to settle...
you might need a spring compressor to exchange springs from the shock...but if u dont want to use one..you better watch out or you might loose a hand or something..also when doing the rear...make sure you jack up both ends...i had trouble removing the spring when only one side was lifted up...

you gotta be carful with "cheap" springs. springs are not just springs. some companies use cold winding technique, which is good, but not the best. RS*R springs are hot wound. they are the only mfg in Japan to use this technology. it makes an all together better quality spring.
just some info!

I have the same thing.....Ted, are you running stock wheels or not, because i still have about a finger gap and they have been on the car for 3 weeks now?!? Either way, did you cut your bumpstops at all?
Thanks!
