    In need of good springs w/3" drop

    I currently have shitty dropzone coilovers with 2-month new KYB GR-2's all around. The ride is too bouncy for me. I want your opinions on which springs (not coilovers) will provide a 3" drop AND not be too bouncy. I have 215/35/18's and would like the drop to put the top of my tires even with the top of the fender. I know that the KYB's I have are not meant for a drop like that, but being only 2 months old, I'd like to keep them till they blow. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

              actually they are fairly soft considering the drop, it rides like a caddy

              .....well, maybe not, but i cant complain and im still on stock struts

                  how do you fit the 18's. They rub right. Did you roll the fenders. When it comes to a drop like that I would save up and try to get coilovers that are umm for lack of a better work.. good. What are the spring rates on those sprints?

                    are the sprint springs bouncy or stiff i need a stiff set but still sit low. i didnt like the neuspeed springs i thought i would get a better ride cutting my springs, but thats my opinion.

                      You must not be on shocks that can handle the Neu. spring rate. If you were to get shocks that can handle the rate, your ride quality will increase. Neu. Konis are suggested.

                        This is off topic but; yes, the 18's did rub in the rear for a day or so, then I rolled the fenders. At first, I didn't really wanna roll the fenders because I thought that I might fuck it up, but it turns out to be more than easy!

                          Yea Sprints have really soft spring rates, they're pretty much OK to run with stock struts...

                            But would the 3" drop kill the gr-2's?
