...just like the topic stste, looking for the lowerst drop without getting C/O's. some of the springs have a 1.2" drop but doesn't seem noticible in some of the pics I've seen online...

I was thinking of goingh w/ Tein's or M7's but they don't look that low...

TIA,
Darin

 

I think the M7's are the lowest drop for springs, then H&R, then all the others are pretty close. I have H-Sport, and i love em'. here's a pic to show you the H-sport drop.

(not my car, just showing you stock height compared to mine)



(mine, compare the wheel wells, about 1"-1.2" drop)

 

the lowest i ever saw is eibach sportline, not pro kit, it drops 1.4 front, 1.6 back, but i dunno the exact specs

 

yeh eibachs lower the most that ive seen.


but lowest doesn't necessarily mean good handling. choose your springs
well.

 

eibach sport line are a discontinued product. Its either eibach or m7

eibach pro (sportline never was offered for mini)

measured drop 1.1 to 1.2" front and 1.2 to 1.3" rear

the handling is better and the ride is NOT harsher than stock. at first i thought this was enough drop visually (and it's very apparent), but now i'm thinking about teins.

 

i remember reading the S-Techs having good spring rates for this car.
