Smallest Spring Drop

PG370 · 02-16-2011, 04:12 PM

So i just got my Z's rays painted black and the door handles as well, im planning on dropping it next. I was wondering which springs give the smallest drop since i really dont want to have to deal with my exhaust scraping or having to go up a ramp sideways lol.

Also would be nice to know how the springs affect the cars ride comfort.

Thanks in advance.

Tein has a mild drop. Not sure about some others. Let some more people shine in n

S tune will drop it about 1/4. but they're springs and shocks.

yeah i read the tein is the mildest but i saw some people post that once it settled it was going lower than a one inch drop which i dont want to deal with lol.
I was planning on going Eibach.

I would keep it stock. Its not worth the trouble for a mild drop imo.

That's about true. I feel that Eibach is a great drop.

somebody's Nismo take offs would probably be your best choice..about 1/4 inch drop..

I liked the Eibach drop when I was on them.

Red__Zed · 02-16-2011, 08:47 PM

Eibach's are a good mild drop.

I love the drop of the Eibach's because I also was not looking for an intense drop

Buy someone's used Nismo set up; best bang for the buck and significantly improved handling too.
