Default What springs with 19" rims???

Ok, I am going to order 19x8 Axis Hagens for my 2003 S2k, with 235/35/19 tires. I have seen pictures of TeamRedlineS2K and I love his car but I think the drop is just a little too low. Not that it looks bad, but I am just worried about rubbing. I have read some other posts about the neuspeed springs and how they lower the 02's and 03's a lot more that the 00's and 01's. My question is, What springs should I go with that won't drop the car that low, but you can still tell that its been lowered? Thanks for your help.

Personally, for a good ride quality and SLIGHTLY lowered look I have always had good luck with Eibach Pro Kit springs on other cars of mine(3000GT VR4, Eclipse GSX)

Go with KG/M supersports, since the racing ones might rub. Also, HKS ones are nice as well. I would worry about rubbing if I were you, and stick to a conservative drop.

If you want HKS, elevations2k is selling his...

Please post pics once you have the wheels and springs installed.

Are you going with 19x8 on all corners? What's the offsets?

Pretty sure you need to stagger the rim size and tire size on this car for optimal handling. H&R springs are a nice drop.

My Eibach's rub even after rolling the fenders with my 19's. Looking for rebate and adjustable springs, coilovers, or going back to stock.
