What is the best spring for even drop

Since we have a variety of springs to choose from, which one would give a more even drop with front and rear.. I've read that with the eibach the rear is lower than the front?

Re: What is the best spring for even drop

I also wanted an even to a bigger front drop. I went with the RSR Ti200 springs designed for the 350z. They advertise a .6" drop but I got more like a consistent 1" drop all around. I'm very happy with them as they took a little of the inherent understeer out.

The RSR down 350z springs are what you want!! I wish i would have gotten them, my B+G springs arent stiff enough for me and the back is lower than the front also

Re: What is the best spring for even drop

al503 that is a nice drop. I have been looking around and it seems about $325 shipped is the best price I see. Do you know anywhere with a better price? Did you also need to adjust camber?

Re: What is the best spring for even drop

camber kit is only available for the rear of the car no one makes the front yet. no i did not install one but as soon as i get my rims i will be installing one so not to wear out the rear so much. you do have to get it aligned right away so it won't mess up your tires.

Re: What is the best spring for even drop

The advertised drop is .6" all around. For some reason I got around an 1" all around.

This is on my coupe.

You'll be able to tell the diff in ride quality immediately. The car 'floats' a lot less and body motions seem to be more controlled.

Try Vividracing.com. I think you could offer them something around $265-$275 shipped and they will take it.

I hope I answered everyone's questions. If not, let me know.
