sti05ak · 12-09-2006, 09:50 PM

Like The Title Says: Looking for The Lowest Drop. I Dont Want The Wheels To Tuck Under The Fender. Please Post Where To Get Them And How Much Too.

I was thinking either TEIN S-Tech, Tanabe GF 210's or Perrin Tunersport Springs!

- Post Pics If Possible

- BTW : Which Does A Lower Drop Tanabe GF210's Or The Tanabe DF210's?

- THANKS!

So you don't care at all about handling then?

no..no..no i do care about handling. but i want my car lowered pretty low. i want a clean drop. not too low. my last car was slammed and tucked, and ew, im sick of it. i want a nice clean drop, maybe 1.6-f 1.2-r (i might put wheel spacers in the front and back, so that the wheel matches up with the fender.

also what about the perrin tunersport springs? what do those compare to what you listed above?

If you want a nice drop along with excellent handling, go for the RCE springs. You won't be disappointed.

STI_Mike · 12-09-2006, 10:17 PM

not trying to be an ass, but if you want that drop then you don't really care about handling.

04 tanabe gf210s. they fit your 05 and i have a set for sale

18s on the 04 in front and stock on the 05 in back. both on 04 gf20

if you dont care about handling and whatever, the tein stech lowers a lot, if you care somewhat, the RCE spring lowers like 23mm F and 20mm R which makes the car look even and wont kill the handling like the stech pretty much will.

you should get some k sport coilovers and slam that ride.

haha too much. if i was gonna get coilovers is go with Cusco Zero2R Coilovers ($2,300 Coilovers)

but i kind of want to worry about performance more. Coilovers are better than springs i know, but i wouldnt spend over $1000 on suspension stuff. id rather spend $1000 towards engine performance. i know, i MIGHT sound crazy to you, but there are NO Auto Cross Tracks anywhere close to me.
