Default Which springs for the best drop on 19' wheels???

Which springs will give me the best drop/look on my car if I get 19' wheels. I want the tires to almost tuck. Please give me some info.

Sprint?
Tanabe?
Eibach?

Coilovers are not an option, still broke from the wheels. Thanks guys.

heres what ive heard. if u go over a .8inch drop u might not be able to get your car aligned within specs without adjustable buying camber arms. So if u dont mind the alignment being slightly out of spec then eibach is probably best choice. Decent 1inch drop and overall a good spring...

I would recommend the Tein S-Tech springs. 0.7" drop in the front, and 0.6" drop in the rear. I have 19's and that's the combo I'm gonna go with. I've heard good review about those springs.

ya if u want to make sure u can align your car within specs the S-techs are probably best choice for you. Another choice is the
RS-R (its what i have) but its more of a performance spring and only lower .6"

Hotchkis,

they are linear, provide an excellent drop and ride almost the same as factory (minus the bounce)

I got H&R's. Front is pretty slammed. Tucked all the way in no gap on stock 18s. Rear is a little gap like 1.5 fingers. So if i had to guess how much it lowered, i would say 1.5 up front and 1 inch in the rear.. No problems with alignment, everything was in spec.

tein s tech all the way. they wont sag, the drop is less than an inch, and will settle to somewhere between .7 i believe and 1.0. they are a bit stiffer than eibachs, so you dont get as much roll, but at teh same time get rid of the z bounce you get on a crappy freeway.

I like the RS*R. They are a linear spring which is nice. The S-Techs aren't bad and they are generally less expensive than the others. If you are interested in either I can get a good deal, especially on the Tein Springs.
