need help please.

I have an 01 sedan. I want to drop the front about an inch. Will RSX type-s front springs work? I know the spring rate is higher, but I don't want to go for lowering springs or coilovers. I scrap as it is on some speed bumps and drive ways. I am going to get kyb agx struts when they come out. I hope I could offset the higher spring rate using those. Or maybe you guys know of some springs that might work. I have some subs in the trunk, so the rear sit about half an inch lower then the front. 3.5 in gap rear, and 4.0 in gap front. thanks sorry the post is so long.

why do you want to drop just the front? because you have stuff in the trunk?? I think a set of eibach prokits with the KYBs will be a good choice. The prokit drops about an inch or so, perfect for some.

You really might want to investigate Tein basics. I know you don't want coilovers, but if you set the high, they only lower around an inch or so. Plus they have stiffer spring rates.

Even though you say you don't want them, I think the best thing to do is to just get some coilovers. That way you can adjust the front and the rear to the exact height you want.
