I did some research on this, but I wasn't able to find a definitive answer. What springs offer the most aggressive drop for our RWD sedans? I haven't been able to find much info on any other springs besides the Eibach pro kit, which lowers the car about 1.5 inches. I want a more aggressive drop than 1.5 inches. And, no, I can't afford coils. TIA!

Yep, H&Rs are about the deepest drop, Tein S techs are also pretty low.

Here is a pic of my car when it was on stechs which are supposed to be -1.9"f and -1.8"r. I think h&rs are only supposed to be -1.5"f and -1.4"r.

I loved how low the stechs dropped, but in hindsight the ride was very crappy. Also I did not like how the rear sat lower than the front.

Thanks for the replies guys! So H & R offers the biggest drop? Lower than 1.5 inches? On their website it says they lower the car 1.3 inches.

^ Not on our sedans, not unless the H&Rs settle massively. That's why I got the Tein S-Techs because that was the lowest advertised drop springs I could find.

Do you have a side shot with the Teins? I would like to see the saggy rear.

^ It's not that it sagged, it's just the rear is slightly lower than the front with the Stechs. Because of this my front would clear certain angles just fine, but my exhaust would scrape like crazy. This is the best side shot I could find.

They'll fit but won't drop the front as much since the G37 springs are rated for the 150lb heavier 7Speed Auto. I'd expect about .3 to .5 inch higher in the front for the G35 over the G37.

^ I'd be good with a mild drop. How is the 5AT does it suffer the same hard shifts and lurching as the 37?
