Exclamation Springs that drops the most!

Eibach? Or any other brand?

I have the TEIN S. Tech and it doesn't drop the car much, and am looking to get other springs that drops the car by AT LEAST 1".

i was looking into getting springs, but i was told that springs alone for the 350Z dont improve ride quality. my sources might of been wrong. but i was also told that they dont give a softer ride.

is this true?

You know, when you drop a car, should the rear be dropped a bit more than the front to create the straight line look?

Take Eibach for example...

Most after market springs are made to lower a car, and improve handling which generally makes the ride a little stiffer which decreases ride quality. If you want better ride quality you may have to go with some coilover set up with a damper control to adjust ride stiffness. I ahve only heard good things about Eibach springs. I had them on my RSX, and they were great. I have heard that the H&R springs tend to sag on the rears of some cars, which people have been really pissed about. I don't know about the other brands.

gonna have to save up for the coilover system. might have to take up prostitution for a while to help pay for the coilovers.
