#12207, "the best springs for a lowered car"


          

I have obx coil overs and I'm dropped like 2.5in and the ride sucks, so I'm planning on getting Tokico Illumina shocks and I'm not sure which springs I should get, let me know how much and the drop and maybe a link to them and I only want springs that drop 2" or lower.
thanks for the help

have you tried those obx with those shox or do you have shox right now? I got skunk 2s and agxs and the ride is kind rough if the damper is all the way up but it corners like a champ, I can turn it down and it'll be less harsh. I rather have it mega stiff this EVO bumper scrapes like a mofo.

I am on KYB GR-2 Struts, which many people shun, but actually my ride is just fine. The springs are labeled "1.75 in the front, 1.5 in the rear"...but they settle out a little lower.

I'm guessing I'm at about 2" in the front and 1.75 in the rear -- see below pic...

I just hate bouncing, I am willing to get any shocks and any springs, that will make not bounc everywhere, the only choice I don't have is going back to stock.
