Which spring wil drop my car only about 1" t 1.5"?

Ok guys I really need your help. I wouldn't had Honda still offered HFP kits fpr sportier cars. Their springs only dropped 10mm. So most of you know im a paraplegic. If they dont now, they will after i post YouTube video showing how strenuous in the beginning it could be transferring in and out my car. Ive been doing it 14 years and even when she assists my here 68yo body is gasping for air. Im at an athletes level. Eat 6000 calories/day i inhale a whopping 4liters of air but im not bragging. But i digress. Here's my issue...

I need my set as level with the cars. I can manage 1" to 1.5" F/.5" to 1" R. From the start, im on a budget. My chair is 7500 bux. If you find some cheap no-name coil-overs, im down. Everything ive gotten on my car: Clazzio (my dealer plus doubling the small mark up fits get (250.00) back in my pocket, another guy here patiently waited for my paycheck to pay the extremely 150.00 for his Tanabe Medallion Touring exhaust even after a guy out bidded me, an exhaust he could easily have sold after only a year was just out to make another fellow member happy. I fit that bill (thank you), and finally i looked on eBay for crinkle black HPS SRI. He had a make your price. I ask if 100 could buy one, it was all i had and none of these did i mention my diagnosis. I just mention i was tight on cash but ever since a major accident this is the first car i was attempting to modify since. He approved in 5 min. I'm very blessed (not very religious) to have all the help of this site helping me. Ive been here 2 years and no one can say ive pleaded or begged because of my issue. I'm not disabled. I still fly my A36 Beech Craft Bonanza, opened a small flight school, withe larger plans coming... So if you can help me with a light sport spring or inexpensive coil-over, im all eyes on the screen. Mods plz move where needed.





Having lunch at the Wilmington International Observation Park I designed taking a head count of visitors before backh with my flight students.

Wait, 68 yo?

I always assumed you were 32-40.


On-Topic: Swifts are probably right up your alley as far as drop goes. Never see them pop up for sale though.

Gotcha, I misread the OP.

I know the Progress springs were known for being very bouncy on the GD. Not sure how people feel about them on GE.
