Default Springs Question

Hey all, I have a question. Im looking for springs and I dont know whos spings are going to suit me the best.. Im just looking to lower the center of Gravity on the car not slam it. And I dont want to mess with the Suspension too much. Here are the 2 options I have...

1. Feels
2. HKS SF5

Thanks again for the help.

Here is a list of springs some people have with thier screen names just in case you want to ask them questions.


-Tein S-Tech springs drop about 1 inch all around-Xpresso2am

-Neuspeed Springs 1.5 inch drop all around but after the settle it's honestly about 2 inches-HFS S2K

-Espeler Springs it's a 1.5 inch drop all around-R.P.M

-B&G Suspension (springs) 1 inch drop all around-fillmatic

There are alot more springs out there for our cars. I honestly love my Neuspeeds the ride is a little harsher compared to stock but it handles nice I like it. I have heard good reviews from all the springs though from personal experience from other owners. Good luck and hope they helped.


Kind regards,
Joe

ive yet to see somebody run the feels springs. they are pretty rare. so u would be one of the select few

hks sf5 has a pretty damn good drop. but the guy who i bought my rims was running these springs and he didnt rub with 17's. 18 inch rims is another story
again hks sf5 i believe were discontinued too. are they black o white

Talk to SIIK2NR. I was talking with him last week about camber kits...He said the S doesn't need it, as the factory setup allows for enough adjustment to accept all the mainstream springs.

I'm no expert at this, just passing what I got from him...
