Arrow Summary: the drop level of each spring

Credits to radicalrev and trinityhk for helping me to compile..here is what I have so far

Fsport = 1" F and 1" R
Tein S = 1.6" F 1.2" R
Tein H-Tech = 1.02'' F and .63'' R
Hotchkis = 1-5/8'' F and 7/8'' R
Tanabe NF210 = 0.8'' F and 1'' R
H&R = 1.4'' F and 1.3'' R
Megan = 1.25'' F and 1.25'' R
Eibach IS350 = 1'' F and .8'' R
Eibach IS250 = 1.4'' F and 1'' R

<pls let me know if you know more and I will add it to the list>

It would be great if you could give a short review of which spring you own and how it affects your car in anyway.

Thanks again

Actually the initial drop for the F-Sport is 1 inch. I believe it will settle over time and it will be slightly over 1 inch. I will measure mine after a month.

Man, Ive been going over different options for a drop for the past month. Im considering S-techs or just going out and getting coils..

I want it low, but not that low. I will rolling with stocks with some spacers for a while. SO front spacers: 10mm and 15mm rear?

Decisions decisions... I dont know how much i will be driving and my conditions


Sorry to thread jack
