Post springs that lower least

As the subject states, I'm looking for springs that lower the car the least. I dont like the "slammed" look but rather, the simple and yet, more aggressive look. The H&R says 0.75" front, 0.5" rear, but a lot of people are saying it actually ends up lowering almost an inch more. Is this true? What springs do you guys recommend for less lowering.

Cool

I don't think there are any springs that lower less than the H&R OE of .75/.50. If you want to lower less maybe get some coilover sleeves ( not recomended, except GC) or get a set of full set of coilovers, adjustable to any height.

With the H&R's add about .5 of a drop to them.

I'd go Comptech, if you don't have a kit you probably won't have to worry about scraping.

The H&R OEM sport springs lowered my car 1.25" in the front and 1" in the rear.

The CoilOver that comes with the threaded shock/Struts are already lowered about an 1" or so at the highest height, so it'll be like buying dropped sport springs..

Hey Tann, can you post a picture of your 13" teddy bear Ronal wheels? Take it from the back so we can see your SuperTrapp exhaust and rear wing too! You must've broken down and finally got what you really wanted!

Koni's with the OE springs mounted on the lower perch will drop the front 25mm, the rear 20mm and give you damper adjustablility.
