Question which springs give u the lowest drop?

Which kinda springs should i go for?? which kind of springs have the lowest drop?? coz i really wanna SLAM my tsx but no ricey style thou... hah

I've seen some people installed the Ground Control Coilovers, how's the ride quility for the ground controls?? is it similiar to normal coilovers such as tein's type flex or buddy club's?? Coz the price of the ground control coilovers are so attractive, since i'm still a student with no income..

Gimme advice n anything u guys know... thanks alot people

You're going to have to explain that one a bit more for us. What springs are less "ricey"? Does lower = more rice? If so, what happens when you SLAM your car?

Sounds like you want to go cheap and low. Then just go cut a coil or two off the stock springs. Want lower? cut another coil.

Any coilover set-up is gonna get you lower than springs...you can also adjust it so you don't think you're car looks so "riced out"....not that I can make sense of that........
As far as springs, my .02 would say Neuspeed will get you the lowest drop.

hey dabuda, if you are familiar with the ucf area... all those apt complexes have huge speed bumbs.. do you scrape anything when you go over them.. or how bout jus daily driving, does the drop damage the car at all? cause im movin into jeferson commons over the summer (apt complex) and the entrance has the ugliest bump ever.. im afraid i wont be able to go over it after the drop..

Take it an angle if you can. It will help you get over the bump better than taking it straight on!

I suggest you do more research on the GC. GC coilovers are just coilover sleeves that go over whatever shocks you have. That's why their prices are much lower when you compare them with TEIN TypeFlex.

i usually go over small speed bumps without any problems...if its a larger speed bump i go at a angle and no problems either...only times i've scraped was going out of a driveway where there is a little water runoff

My Tanabe DF210 dropped F1.8 R1.7. After it settled, it's about half finger fender gap. That's low to me but maybe not low enough for you??
