The GE8 lowering springs poll!

Let see what you guys like to most when it comes to springs! Some options are not included because they are not yet available or they are not being officially sold in N.A.

For you Janine, will do

RS*R Ti 2000 Downs
good drop for me
not harsh, quite honestly pretty dang close to stock ride
I like that the drop is a little more in front than some of the others, cuz with passengers/cargo they never look tail down.

i, like most people on here, have the DF210. I have the way mine looks. the drop is perfect. absolutly would recomend these. only down side is that i feel that the springs are so stiff so in some locations, i can feel every bump on the road but i mostly drive on the good part of the highway.

went to a car meet today. got mad props from people. not to many people in virginia with GE8 with lowering springs. (actually i believe im the only one. only 2 fits at the whole meet out of like 1500 i think) REPPING BIG TIME!!

DF210's. Ride is much stiffer (like most lowered cars I've had) but don't mind it 'cause it looks really good and handling is much better.

df210's, but they desperately need to be about .5" lower in the front.

I thought I'd share something I recently found but I'm a bit broke atm. Going to maybe purchase these coils depending on when I have the money and what's released by then maybe someone will purchase these and tell us how they ride :x

Eibach Pro Kit FTW. Just got mine on a couple of days ago. The stance is good, seems to be a little lower than Eibach states. The car is noticably stiffer but not harsh. Handles a lot better.

Same here. Love my DF's but they could be lower up front. Id get the S-coils if I had to do it again. But ill save up for coilovers before I switch springs.

Been on the same boat for a while, but now I have decided to go DF210.
Hope the ride is not too stiff. Have done Eibach Pro-Kits before and I actually like how they ride; little firm but not in anyway harsh.

Hope the DF210 will ride something like the Pro-Kits and I'll be happy.

My DF's feel just like stock. The stock ride is pretty stiff to begin with anyways. But the ride is definately not harsh. I daily drive mine and it feels great. If anything its a bit smoother and gets rid of tons of body roll.

So it seems that the top winner is the Pro Kit but everybody seems to have the DF210's..
Hmm..I think I'm going to go with the DF's just 'cuz it gives a more aggressive drop the the Pro Kit. The Pro Kit is just a little too high up for me when the DF's are a little bit more down there. I've gotten mixed comments about the DF's front and from pictures, it looks about even. I wouldn't want it to be too low anyways, I go up a steep curb before I park in my garage x_x

my vote goes for the Eibach Pro-Kit.. i had them before in my RSX-S and loved them.. there not harsh in the road yet it isn't as soft either.. and the drop is very subtle not dumped nor not OEM like..
