A lot of you all want an aggressive drop. Remember that unless the spring rate is very high, you're going to start rubbing when you whip it around the turns. Also, wider tires can exacerbate the problem. I would suggest a 1.5" drop with a 5kg (280lb/in) front and 6kg (336lb/in) rear.

we (for the most part) are well aware that they would have to be very stiff to be very low.
and we (again for the most part) are all willing to bear with the non-stock feeling ride as long as it drops us nice and low. |

Why do you guys want such stiff springs in the rear? If you are tracking the car you will want stiffer springs in the front. Also you can just buy a stiffer rear sway bar unless you are looking to have as much oversteer as possible.

about a 2" drop, upgraded shocks/struts, rear AND front sway bars, and 8k front / 10k rear springs.

So make springs simular to that, 2"-2.5" drop 5-8k front 6-10k rear. If you know that's what works. We really need performance springs, not springs that make our car look cool. Yes you could get coilovers, but you have to worry about corossion in the winter for some of us.
