Im happy with the ride of my car but wish it sat a bit lower. Not looking to slam it, but looking for some springs similar to the H-sports I had on my old 02' back in the day.

What springs have you guys used to get the wheel gap cleaned up a bit more? I'm considering coilovers but would rather just do a simple set-it-and-forget-it spring

Who's running what?

Daily driver
Zero track time
Lots of 'sprited driving'

Plan on doing rear lower arms at the same time to dial in alignment.

pics a HUGE plus

I'm pretty low... low enough that alta endlinks were still too large and didn't fit correctly without a little bit of lathe work.

That being said, running v-maxx coils all around with (custom) adjustable alta endlinks.

I'll get some pictures on here when I can, I've been eager to share my mini with the community that I've been lurking in for several months now

That looks really good what H&R coilovers do you have and what other parts do you need?
Sway bars, camber plates, etc... to properly align it and make it all work...?
