|| Hey l00K lowering springs ||
Ok, so I've been noticing how there are always tons of threads on what spring to get (almost a diffrent one daily)? how low is it? blah, blah?

lets make this thread have a pic of all the common springs, shocks setup. Make sense?

now if you have another set up, like stech on koni, or sprint, or blah. add it to this thread and I'll add it to this post, so we have one post that has all the common setups...

lets start

AUTOEXE springs on OEM shocks



Eibach on OEM shocks:







Eibach on D-Specs



rear raised 3/8"



Espiler on OEM shocks

on 19's





H&R Springs on Koni SHocks



MAZDASPEEED Springs on MAZDASPEED Shocks





Megan Racing Springs on Koni Yellow's



Progress Tech Sport Springs on Tokio D spec shocks

Coil-overs would not really work for this thread, because ride height can be changed.

Keep em coming.

good thread. The only problem however is some of these posts show different tire sizes. So the gap is very slightly deceiving. Keeping it to the stock tire size or diameter would be the way to go.

Damn, RS*R springs alone drop the car that much; do you have a good side view? thanks.

I don't think I do, it was too low for me with the Autobahn kit and I had to swap it with Swifts.
