FL Lowest Drop for Springs,

Hey guys i did some searching and havnt found a solid answer. Dont bash me if this thread already exists please just post the link if it does.

The information i am searching for it which brand of springs Gives the Rx8 the biggest drop. I want to get my car as low as i can without having to purchase adjustable coilovers. eventually i will obtain coilovers and slam her but for now i want a clean drop with decent rates as low as i can go. Thanks in advance

You can buy shorter springs from Hypercoil, which are the best springs out there. You'll have to give them custom specs though...

But I would suggest against it, lowering the car drastically on OEM shocks is a bad idea...

Thanks for the info guys. LOL @ cutting springs. I would never do that to my 8... Hell i didnt even do that to my old Integra! I know that the OEM shocks will blow if i go for it "slammed" I just want a low clean drop that wont blow out my OEM shocks immediatly as i will slowly be doing the full suspension.

I most likely will go with Sprint.

hopup is a great site... however, try contacting them first. I remember someone trying to get the sprint springs almost a year ago and Hopup couldnt source them.

pair the lowest springs with koni yellows and youll be slammed

your oem shocks will go bad lowering your car, so look at koni yellows, bilstein hds, or tokico dspecs..
