Default What springs are lower than Eibach Pro-Kit?

Hey guys,

I currently have Eibach Pro-Kit springs and would like something lower. I spent a few hours searching but haven't really gotten/seen any "comparative" answers.. if that makes sense. So far I've seen Tanabe GF and DF?, yet I can't distinguish which is lower than the other. I know for a fact that the Eibach Sportlines are lower.. but they look like they might be too low. Basically I want no gap, but I don't want to tuck.

First, as you all know, the numbers published by manufacturers don't mean jack, so sadly that doesn't really help me.

Second, I know that every car is different, so don't bother telling me that. But you might be able to tell me that based upon how my car sits now on the pro-kits, xxxx springs will give me the height I'm looking for.

I also know that coilovers would allow me to achieve this, but unfortunately I don't have the fundage for that right now so don't bother suggesting that.

Here is my car dropped on Eibach Pro-Kit springs. It is 1 finger up front and about 1.5 fingers in the rear gap wise. I am on stock shocks with no rear camber kit.. but I will definitely be getting a rear camber/toe kit when I go lower as the insides already wear much faster on the rear tires.

Oh and the car is a 2007 in case that matters.

Thanks!
John

The rumor I've been told by a number of folks is that the Eibach springs are the most consistent in their drop.

+1 for sportlines, I don't think they're too low.

ProKits are good, I have them on my Z. I dont know how long ago you dropped the car but they do take a lil bit of time to settle.

Thanks for the replies. Still looking for some feedback on the Tanabes though..

Are there any springs OTHER THAN sportlines that drop more than prokits?
