Question Most drop with spring

Hi everyone this is my first post here I just finished all my paperwork my car is on its way its a dealer 350 miles away from my house. Coming to me on a flatbed as I'm posting this . I got a 2010 GSR white/black love this car. Here is my question I want to drop the car as soon as possible I know people say get the feel of the car blah blah, but I hate the ride hight of this car for some reason I really want to drop it very low from my research I have found that H&R is the lowest 1.4 and 1.1 I think from memory. I was wondering does anyone know any other springs that will get it lower? BTW I have ordered the Greddy TI-C TurboBack already also on its way should be receiving it by Wednesday. Could I also get some info on a good high flow car or no cats at all? what would you recommed I really want power out of this car I will do more research. I would really appriciate info from my EVO FREAKS

Thank you all.

-Mike

Pretty much yes but I dont want to put coilovers or cut the springs. I would say just a little but higher then slammed if possible.

honestly I doubt there are any springs that slam the evo, your going to have to suck it up and stick with the H&R or get coilovers

Well you live in Cali so I would do a full turboback with a HFC and a wideband. You could do the intake at the same time depending on your funds.

After the springs settle, Eibach's drop the car more than H&R's from what I've read and seen.

You do know that the lower you go, the sooner your struts will go...right?

You'll probably want one of these three springs:

Cobb ............................. 3.8 kg*........... 3.1 - 4.1 kg*......... 1.3" / 1.4"
Eibach Pro .................. 2.6 - 4.9 kg ...... 1.8 - 4.8 kg .......... 1.2" / 1.0"
H&R ............................... 4.2 kg* ......... 3.4 - 4.4 kg* ....... 1.4" / 1.3"

I'm personally down between the Eibachs and Swifts for my car.

Nice ride Bob... what would you say when comparing stock suspension and after you had H&R installed?

I just had my H&R springs and Whiteline RCA kit installed today (6/25).



The ride seems a little more stiff than stock when just cruising down the road, but still smooth enough for daily driving. Haven't had the chance to see what the ride is like with a car full of people yet.

In the turns the car is incredible (even without an alignment). Feels like I'm on railroad tracks. Absolutely no body roll...these H&R's seem to stiffen up quick when pressed hard...like they're supposed to. Can't wait to get an alignment, but already I can tell you the car turns better than it did stock.

Drop is perfect, level without excess rake...now looks like what an Evo should look like. I'll post pics after I get it aligned.
