question about springs.
i know their several springs out there,
just wondering which ones give you the lowest drop?
i have springs right now but have no idea what they are, the guy i bought it from told me they were GS springs, have no idea what he meant by that..

cut the springs .... j/k... if Intrax is available, i think they give the lowest drop.
Some brands.... trd, intrax, h&r, suspension techniques, sprint, eibach, tein, skunk2 or skunk works, ground control... i'm sure there are a lot others i'm missing.... Good luck.

i think that's a comprehensive list of manufacturer specs for aftermarket lowering springs.

^ that is true, and a search through the 2is suspension section didn't yield much information for "road magnet" and "rwd" either.
i'm not an expert in automotive suspension systems, and there is a pretty good possibility that this is wrong and illogical, but for argument's sake:
awd 2is ride height w/ road magnet springs = rwd 2is ride height w/ tein s-tech springs...
and since awd 2is oem ride height = rwd 2is ride height + ~1" (more or less?)...
therefore, rwd 2is ride height w/ tein s-tech springs = rwd 2is ride height w/ road magnet springs + ~1" (more or less).
so according to the ^ logic, road magnet springs have a lowered ride height moreso than other aftermarket lowering springs.
again, there is a pretty good possibility that this is wrong and illogical...
