Lowering Spring Compilation thread?

Is there a thread that contains all of the lowering options for the 3G as well as their corresponding specs such as drop height and spring rates? I'm looking to go a bit lower and I'd like to see all of the options I have as well as their specs.

Something like this should be stickied

Actually......I was going to see if I can hold onto it until Sunday, I think I'm going to have to go back to NH to help my buddy out. We ran into a seized bolt in the pass front LCA, and I have to go try and get it out.......

fine, but if I change up my suspension....I will need your help a bit. I'm not really feelin the two finger gap in front so I might get the nuespeeds that are for sale in the BM. I've got to see how much lower I can go before I start scraping into my driveway.

Are they race springs?? If they are you should get them, mine are about the same drop and I can still get in and out of the worst driveways at all of my properties in Hartford. I scrape a little, but not bad.

But yeah, I'll most certainly give you a hand if you want to switch them out.

BTW.......you don't have to unbolt the endlinks I found out. All you have to do is unbolt the endlink bracket that is attached to the hub and twist it out of the way.......

I think they are 1.7 front and 1.3 rear. I've got a 2 finger gap right now so that should about do it. Im also going to get 15mm spacers all around. Again, my driveway will be the deciding factor. Justin, dont forget I have the aspec lip which sits a bit lower, but I'll let you know. Oh, and too late for my endlinksStill need to put the new ones on though.

speaking of spacers anyone know where I can get some without having to sell my kidney to get them? haha
I am dropped on progress springs 1.5". Dont know the spring rate by heart but the ride is very close to stock, and the car handles great

H&R makes some. They run anywhere from $70/pair to about $200+ depending on the width and if they come with longer wheel studs.

I wish I can get some for 70/pair. Cheapest ones I found are 150/pair. They shold be hub centric and pressed in wheel studs. I am not sure how I would put longer wheels studs in they are not pressed into the spacer

yea yea I got that they go in the stock wheel stud location it's just that I dont know what I have to take off for them to come out? You can't just pull that shit out haha I have't looked too hard into doing it this way, so i don't know. But I guess those would be cheaper then getting the adapters

You just take the wheel and the rotors off and hit them out with a hammer.
