Ok, I am currently lowered ony Tokico Blues and Tein S Techs. I'm pretty happy with it, but as you can see in the pictures, the rear is lower than the front. I have a system in the trunk, so I know thats why its lower but I actually like it.

I want to actually lower the front so that there is less tire gap. I know the S techs are rated at 1.3 drop, do you think it would be better to go with a 1.5 or 1.8 in the front? Also is it ok to mix spring combo? I.e: front-megan rear-tein s.tech or front-progress rear-tein stech?



front:



rear:





some of the pics are kinda in the shade so its hard to see. Let me know if you need another side shot, if it will help.

suggestions anyone?

keep what you have

[aznprid214]

thats what i was thinking... but i only want a little more in the front!!

solution=adjustable coilovers

[aznprid214]

I thought about that already, but thats a lot more money invested. I can't deem 400+ for .3 in the front lower. I'm trying to keep my out of pocket low in order to achieve my drop. I mean, the tokico and s.techs would only get me like 2-300 tops.

i say find some used ones on either craigslist, here or other forums. youre only going to use the fronts anyway.

i have some progress springs sitting around somewhere but i dont remember how much drop they give you. if they're what you want...you can have them for 20 bucks

[aznprid214]

front and rear or just front? what year are they off of? I might just get them.. you want anything? si shift knob? the red leathersitch one

[mkymonkey]

front and rear you mean trade for them? let me see a pic

You can mix springs there is no issue with that, just pay attention to how stiff the springs are. I am not sure what you are after, but if you like the way the car handles now stick with springs of the same stiffness as you have now. Really you should just invest into some ground control coilovers so you can adjust them, that is the least expensive way. It seems like you are mostly about looks, so I won't go into actual height vs. corner balancing ect. which is more for performance

yeah, well at the moment i might just stick with what I got and do it right later with coilovers. I'm almost done with interior phase and stuff and I think i just got an ok to either rebuild motor and go turbo or swap it just gotta say up more money, or maybe bush will give more tax cuts

do they make springs compressors? like i Know you can buy spacers, but why not one that holds a few coils closer? itd be the cheap way to get it done.
