aggressive stance...

Im getting 17's soon and want to drop the car with them, I want an aggressive stance/ where the front sits lower then the back. What springs will do this for me?


I was looking at the H&R race, but with those 17's will I still be ok turning, and what not? Will the 17's be too much for the race?

i donno if they sell springs that are diff. drops front and back.

i think youd be better off buying a good quality set of coil-overs and self-adjusting them to your own liking.

and with H&R race w/17 inch rims, they look MONEY

my rears are a little higher, im using skunk II coils. When the rear gets higher you lose visibility out of your rear window.

Yeah man, the H&R Race will look pimp with 17" wheels. Just hope you get some good shocks, the stockies won't last long with springs that stiff.

I have Neuspeed Sport springs. It visibly makes the front lower than the rear.

Suprised no one has brought this up. What is the offset of the rims you will be getting? You need at least +42 I would think.

H&R Race. Adjust them however the heck you want.

just a warning, when i got my 17's the tire guy convinced me that 225x45x17 would work when i lowered it. well sure enough i put tokico's and skunk2's on and the tires were too wide and thick and it rubbed on fr and back fenders. long story but worth learning from my mistake. fortunately he bought them back since it was tech. his fault.

Mine has the aggressive stance you are talking about. I'm using KYB AGX Struts and Skunk2 Coilovers.

Tannie what in the **** are you talking about. They are springs. Springs don't adjust.


With +42 offset if you run a 215 tyre you should be fine with H&R race springs.

By doing what you guys are talking about you will also get more aggressive understeer. If anything you want more weight shifted toward the rear of the car.

I'd say, go w/ the Neuspeed race springs. I've heard some bad things about H&R's sagging too much in the past.
