Question OEM 6MT Sport Springs vs. Aftermarket

Will I trade ride comfort for bumpy ride if I changed my 6MT springs to lower my G?

Which springs are best for 1 to 1 /2 inch drop without sacrificing the comfort level I have with the stock springs?

I just replaced my factory sport springs with Eibach's I still have a smooth ride they advertise a 1.1 inch drop but I think it's a little more than that. I have two finger gap in the rear and a loose 1 finger gap in the front overall the drop looks even. A lot of folks have the Tein H tech springs though gives a 1.5inch drop in the front and .7 inch drop in the rear. Then some people have the 05 350Z springs which handle as well as the factory but provide a slight drop. Read the treads in the suspension section there are a lot of detail discussion on springs there.

The eibachs are a progressive spring which is intially softer than the stock springs but firm up stiffer than the stock springs as the suspension travels.

On my car I run the eibachs along with a set of 19" wheels with 30 and 35 series tires. I think the ride is softer than the '05 sport loaner we had for a month.

Yeah. I have Eibachs and they feel more comfortable than the OEM sports. I had them on my Civic Si and now on my G 6MT. It's Eibach for life.
