Before you guys smash me again on this i know this wounds geekish i put my 15mm spacers on today with my oem bbs and none the less they are as flush as flush can get. Im still on stock bilsteins and oem springs. The car sags more in the rear than the front i was told this is normal. Well i broke out the tape measure and from the top lip of the rim to the body in the rear is 4 inches and the front is6 inches from top of rim to body. What springs would let me sit about 1.75 front and 1-1.5 rear. Thanks for your input

 

Not sure exactly what you are asking but if you check out the stickies at the top of this forum section you'll find this thread:

That gives you both the spring rates and the drop for each spring out on the market. That should help you in picking something that fits your needs!

 

Just cut em that'd be sweet!!!! N

 

HAHA not been there done that looking for the best spring with handling i love going into the twisties like the car is on rails just want it to be lower. What u guys reccommend

 

The best sping available with that much drop is the GF210 by tanabe. Just dont get tein s tech or the eibach both will blow your sturts

 

GTWORX!!!!! Might not give you the stance you are after but I loved mine on my old 8

 

do they make the tanabe gf210s for the mr with bilstein struts?

 

The rear doesn't "sag". It's the way the fenders themselves are.

Tanabes will make your car feel like bus. I've had Tanabe's and Tein's. They both suck anus. Swift will sit the car with a raked stance and even out the wheel gap. Oh yeah, and they'll actually help the cars perfromance! But I don't know who would care about that......

 

so which version of the swifts would be good for dd and conventional road race and autox? Thats why i got a evo to make it a good track street car no just straight line lol

 

I run the swifts Sports on mine and it sat the car down perfect. I thought the spec r swifts were a little too low for me and I didn't want the struts to go through to much stress.

swift spec-r or sports
GTWorx
or robispec

These are the proven performance springs that work well with stock kyb or Bilsteins and don't bottom out on the bumpstops under aggressive cornering. These springs have also been covered a ton on here....just search around and you'll see!

I use the GTWorx and I'm happy with them and pleasantly surprised on the drop.

 

The Swift Sports and Spec-R's are the same ride height. The Spec-R's are stiffer. They're both fine for the street. I use the Sports on my Evo with MR Bilstein's and it's the best, wallet friendly, simple suspension set-up I've ever used.

 

good info.... am a newb searching to lower my evo... i am leaning towards the swift R

 

i think ill be purchasing the spec r's hope they set me where i need to be

 

IMO the spec R's gave the perfect drop...low enough to kill some fender gap and give a great stance, but helping in the handling department and making the car feel much more planted.
