So does anyone know what's the lowest drop for springs right now? I'm looking for the lowest drop before coilovers.

I saw this today, might be old news to you guys, but here's T1R's S-Coil Springs available May 1st:

should have the info in there

 

hmm so if thats the amount of in. dropped... thats not very low huh.. compared to DF's at least?

 

ya i think the DF's is 1.4" in the front and 1.8" in the rear. people are saying it goes as low as 2" in the rear after the springs settle.

 

hmm i see.. yeah i wanna go as low as possible.. ride height is killing me

 

i think df210's are the lowest for springs according to my limited amount of knowledge. I'm not sure if any coilovers are available in the US.

 

RS*R super downs offer the lowest amount of drop. I think its 1.75" up front and 1.5" in the back, or something like that. Youll be waiting for a couple months though, they gotta be imported from japan. Tanabe's are the only one in the states right now.

 

A friend of mine has just bought a new fit with a Mugen Body Kit and wants to lower slightly as there are many bad roads in his area.

I know Tanabe NF,s and Apex springs are supposed to lower just 25mm. Are manufactures lowering specs usually accurate and how much sag is there on average?

 

i may sell my set of tanabe DF210 springs. They have never been put on, still in box, only been taken out to take pictures. PM me if you want a price

 

Thanks for the offer, but I think they'll be too much of a drop for my friend. He only wants 25mm or so. Tanabe NF 210 would be better.

 

Hey do u still wanna sell the springs? Pm me with a price and I may take it out ur hands !! Thanx buddy

 

Unless you are getting a killer deal, won't buying the DF210 springs stateside be cheaper that having a set shipped over from Thailand?

 

Yeh, you're right. Actually we have both Tanabe DF & NF in Thailand, but DF will drop too much as the Mugen body kit is low and the car may bottom out over ruts in the road.

The NF 30mm drop is about right with this kit. The question is, how acurate is the manufactures drop spec. Maybe it's more than the 30mm, plus sag. Anyone have experience of this.
