Default Spring choice....

Hi guys.... i've been searching around, and im having a hard time finding pictures of certain drops for certain springs.

Here is my car running on tokico blue and supra springs.





my goal is to be at least 1 inch lower than i am right now, but i have no idea what spring will do that for me. I dont want to go coilovers yet, since i already have the shocks, i just want to spend enough money for springs.

I have been reading that espilir springs slams the car, and i dont want it to be slammed, just want the gap to pretty much be gone or have just a 1 finger gap.

right now i am at about 2 finger gap, taking that each finger is 1 inch.

Thanx for the help guys, im ready to go a little lower now.

Here is a pic of my car on espelirs. I love how low it sits, but if I had to do it over again would get some coilovers.

if you do a search you might be able to find a long thread with pictures with people dropped on all kinds of springs and coilovers. I personally ran the Espelir ASD on a stock shock. The handling was great for being on a stock shock. The drop was perfect. It had very little to no wheel gap. Didnt have to worry about rubbing or rolling fenders on my old set of 18" wheels with a +35 offset all around.
