Question Performance Springs with Minimal Drop?

What are my options here?

Ideally, I'd like the mythical Ralliart springs listed in the Spring Rate Sticky Thread:
"Ralliart:...................280lbs(5.0k)....307lb s (5.5k)....0.5f / 0.5r"

I don't know how easy it is to get these or how expensive they are.

I really like the Espelir GTs for the huge spring rate (I'm looking for performance), but the front drop scares me on my daily driver.

WORKS would not tell me their rates, but they said "about 20%" greater than stock, which may not be enough. But at least the drop isn't as much.

Anyone have any suggestions on what to look for?

Our upcoming in-house designed springs sound like they would fit the bill well for you.

I just took a quick peek at the thread and you are correct, those seem perfect for me. How soon do you expect them to be available?

The info I found is that they are not lowering springs. They are rally springs that raise the car.

i think most people will suggest staying with stock if you're concerned about performance. Or if you want an upgrade wait and save for some coilovers. It seems like most people looking for springs buy them to lower the car a bit, w/o loosing too much suspension travel or purely looks.

If you want to keep it at stock height and have less oversteer / neutral handling i'd suggest getting trailing arm bushings / rear sway bar. You'll notice a big improvement in handling right off the bat. If you choose springs, my vote goes with either swift (i personally have) or esp GT's.

Good luck to you
