hey everyone its been a wile since i checked out the forum and did some searching around but couldnt find a any answers.

im currently running a tein s.techs springs with tokico blues on my hb. i love it but not as much as a bigger drop. im basicly lowered 2 inches and im wondering if anybody has found a spring thats 2.5+ drop. i really dont wanna go the coilover rout cuz its too expensive. but im definatly all ears for opinions and suggestions thanks.

There is no spring out there that will go that low, but you can always cut a coil off each spring!

^ If the spring rate on those isn't very high, you'll bottom out and have other problems. LOW springs should be STIFF springs.

I've also read that the Tokico Blues don't hold up as well on low springs....anything more than 1.75" - 2". Maybe Garm can spread some light about this?

^I've heard the same. Reds handle drops much better than Blues.

OP:

Just save up for coilovers. Set some money aside and wait until you have enough for some that you like.

You're absolutely right! Get coilovers. They cost a bit more, but at least you can adjust them to your liking. U don't want to be stuck with a car that's too low and a road that's too bumpy.
