Drop Springs

Post by Vibeguy07 »

Anyone know where I can get some pretty cheap drop springs? I am looking for a 2" front and rear drop. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I was just wondering about some drop coils i found on Neverenoughauto.com they are Progressive coils 2" front and Rear and was wondering if they are a good quality coil or if anyone would recommend getting a better quality. Also, should I look into maybe a 1.5" front and rear drop to give the coils a litle room to settle?? Thanks

Go with the Tein S-Tech, they are top quality. I've had 2 sets and they perform excellently.

Can anyone tell me if I get 2" coils if they will lower a little when they settle or if they will stay at just about 2" because I dont know if I will have alot of room for them to drop after the initial 2" inches. Thanks

from what i hear they settle a little bit. I think in reality its different for everyone with every spring set. The only 100% way to get a perfect drop you want is coil overs that are adjustable.
