dude, I asked around first coz I don't want it to be too low, cause I carry a lot of people and dont want to rub like crazy. I'm not into slamming the cars like some of the members here, and making it like touching the ground. I am looking for "just nice" drop coz I want to do it once and right, with springs. no coilover for me coz I don;t have the money.

i believe i've seen chris' car, iirc, its the chris i'm thinkin of and met at a mini meet. it's clean on those wheels. imho, i'd rec coilovers, but you mentioned its not in the budget...so, keep doing some research and GL!

pm allenK, i forgot which springs he's on, but i know he's not too low (that was his main concern)

If you're looking for a more conservative drop then look into the F-Sport springs, the TEIN H-Tech or even the IS350 Eibachs..IMHO, the Tein S-TECH drop is as even as a drop can get w/ just a lowering spring modification..TEIN and H&R have the most even drops.

I am lowered on TEIN S-techs and they are the perfect drop imo. Here are some pictures.

And that is exactly why I went with coilovers. My drop is dead even

Im not talking about into slamming the car really low.. IM talking about people complain about the front lip scrape because the car is low.. Chill man.. If ya worry about scrape, just get something nice rims and minimum drop like F sport..

lexman, nice drop. s-tech it is for me after seeing several cars with it

IMO that's a perfect drop with stock wheels, but if I change to bigger rims, will the drop be more or less? will there be less gap or more gap between the wheels and the fender? sorry for the noob questions
