Default I need a drop!

I have no idea which are the best springs not coilovers for the sc430. Anyone have any suggestions? Tanabe etc.... I am interested in no more than 1" drop. Thanks in advance!

I like my Tanabe's.
Get NF210 for luxury ride or DF210 for sport ride.

If you don't like the ride quality of your sc on 20"s, then most likely you will be dissatisfied with lowering springs.

You should go with coilovers like Tein CS/CST that also comes with 16 levels of damping force adjustment in addition to height adjustment.

Both Rominl and GSXOTIC have their Tein CS for sale at a good price right now.

I too think coilover is a better choice than springs because of its versatility (not because i have a set of used one for sale). I certainly don't know how much a set of spring cost but like Rich said, couple nice used set are available in the classified section.

I like the ride of the 20's it is just the balancing. I want springs not coilovers and I wouldn't mind if they were a little more stiff. ANY Recommendations for springs?
