What is the best springs for a sedan??

I've searched around but I want to talk to people who have had them installed. What is the best springs to lower a sedan? Neuspeed? Eibach? don't want to go to low and don't want my rear to be sagging. Thanks for the help

I had eibach prokit on my sedan to begin with and the rear sagged like a bastard. Switched to neuspeed sports, a wee bit lower, and no more sagging in the rear.

Neuspeed sport for the sedan.

Oh, I got mine for $145 shipped off the GBC.

Ok..Eibach prokit is supposed to be a ~1inch drop front and rear. The neuspeed sports drop the front 1.75" and 1.5" in the rear.

Now, with the eibachs the front dropped right around an inch but the rear was sitting just as low as it does now with the neuspeed sports. In other words, I had about 3 fingers of wheel gap in the front but barely 1 in the rear with the prokit springs. The nuespeed sports give about a finger gap at all 4 corners with the stock tires.

I have had the neuspeed sports for about 6 months and no problems other than needing new shocks...I am waiting on the tokicos..

IMO, neuspeed is best for the sedan. If you don't go with neuspeed, make sure you go with a brand that sells different springs for the sedan and coupe.
