99% of the springs out there will sag slightly due to lack of stiffness in both our struts and spring rates. If you are replacing the struts on the car, the sag should be much less noticable.

goldline and neuspeed are the only ones to make specific sedan springs
ALL other springs are coupe/sedan and they will ALL sag. tein s tech and h&r the most, and eibach prokit and sportline the least

im on the exact same boat as you... want a very small drop but have a sedan so there is no spring choices for people like us.

i've got neuspeed sports, i am probably just doing to use them and find some way to put spacers or big waters and stuff along with the spring to make it sit higher

s techs sag on the sedans more than the coupe. it kind of levels out the coupe.
and if you want complete control, get coilovers and just drop it evenly like you want

just get Eibach prokit. can be had for under $220 now, nearly anywhere, approximately a 0.7 to 1.0'' drop. no sag. and no compromises.

agreed, but I also did Tokico blues with mine and the drop is very noticable (at least to me) when lined up with a stock ride. but I agree with you on the sportlines

I've got almost one finger in the rear and about 1.5 fingers in the front. I would've prefered prokit but honestly, if i'm gonna do that work, i want it to be more noticable, it's a decent amount of work and money....i've al;so got hp blues, but they're the exact same as the factory struts, has nothing to do with the height....

yeah the hps are like o.e.m but are more reliable and stronger. I'm happy with my tokico blues and prokit.
