Default What springs provide the lowest drop on stock shocks?

i know, i should get shocks or coilovers or a combo deal or whatver it takes to spend more money. i live in the south, no salt, no ice, no locked up shocks...i'm just looking for a noticable drop over stock ride heigh

Stock shocks will fail quickly with aftermarket springs.

Default honestly, get a kit, doesn't have to be C/O, but get a kit...

...eibach pro-system is like $700 something.

But to answer your question, H&R Race springs are usually the lowest, but on a stock shock, you're really just driving on the bump stops, so the ride is gonna suck.

Default I'm half kidding. Seriously tho, you will not like driving your car if you use very low springs w/

stock shocks.

Default i did this. it wasnt my plan but blah blah blah i am still on apr springs

and stock shocks. the handling is ok cuz it is lower but the ride quality is horrible because it didnt take but 2 months for my shocks to die.


do not do this. listen to people, it is not worth it.
