suspension mods

Does anyone know what kind of suspension kit will lower the car about 1-1.25" front and back, along with making the ride much stiffer than the stock sport suspension? Thanks

The only springs that I know that lower that much would be the M7's. But they are a progressive style that are just alittle stiffer than stock. To get what, you will probably have to go with coilovers, then you can do any ride height or stiffness setting you want .

H-sport and TSW both are great springs as well. Not that inch to 1.25 inch drop. You may look at the Tein S-tech or the H&R as well.

H&R drop about .75 in the front and 1" in rear... It's stiff, but handles great.

Quick pic:


More "sideways" pictures in my gallery if you wanna check it out.

And I agree, if you want more than 1" around, coilovers might be the best bet.

Leo.
