Question Too low or just right?

I'm goin to get Neuspeed Lowering Springs, but not sure if the Race Series would be riding too low.

I'm gonna have 215/45/17

Neuspeed Sport 1.75 Front and 1.5 Rear
OR
Neuspeed Race 2.25 Front and 2.0 Rear

i had 215/45/17 and had to adjust my coilovers so it sits at 1.8" front and 1.8" rear or around their so it wouldnt rub. rub as in making hard corners and doing u-turns. the tire would touch the fenderwell on the fronts and my rears had to be more negative camber so the tire doesnt rub the fender. i say sports

i'm running Race with 215/35ZR18s and stock shocks...it looks badass, and the ride is nice on smooth rides, but you can REALLY feel the potholes, bumps, squirrels, etc....

Depends on what you want and how you drive it. Is it your daily driver? How are the roads in your area? I'd go with the Sports personally.

yea I have sportlines too and wish I had coils, only thing is DO NOT USE STOCK SHOCKS, IMO its a huge waste cause u'll be replacing them anyway its just a matter of time..

I'd go coilovers if you can afford it.. if not get the Sport and I believe Tokico can handle a 1.75 drop.. I know the race ones for sure you'll need something that can handle more drop (Koni) im not sure what agx supports.. I'd save for coils... if I had it to do over again i'd get coils and camber kits all at once.. I still need camber kits, but I've had no tire wear in almost 4500 miles.. (all I had was alignment)

Coil over would the best. Koni sports & Neuspeed race springs would the best set up for you but you have to remember that with a drop that much, you need to get an adjustable camber kit.

Then again, if you still want to maintain the stock ride quality then just go with the Neuspeed sports springs. They are just slightly stiffer than stock & still look pretty low.

Jeff B has a little shameless behaviour in the past
I am thinking about getting Race with AGX's. I am getting AGX for sure but I have not decided if I am going to use my Eibach pro-lines again or throw in the race ones. I am damn sure that the AGX's can handle anything I throw at them. They are race shocks. Koni's would prob last longer on the race track but I am not gonna be on the track so I think these will be fine..
