Which springs take us the lowest?

Hey guys, well I am going back to springs as the roads here in dc are getting worse and worse. Question is, which springs take our cars the lowest?. H&r, champion, eibach, any other spring?

Doea anyone have pictures of their cars on springs?

Thank you much in advance!

Paul

I have H&R with Bilstein's... Personally i like how it rides, but be aware, its hard to live with a car that scrapes everywhere ...

What's the minimum drop on these? I only want a little drop as I am doing wide wheels soon, but it has got to come down some. Interested...

Thanks,

Eibach is probably the most comfortable. Still, the least lowering would be provided by ROW MO30, and is OEM. About 10mm back, 20mm front, in a US car. Rather inexpensive by comparison too.

Bilsteins are good for street usage and allright on the track. Good performance for price imo. You can also adjust how hard they are.

But why switch back from coilovers to lowered struts? Seems like switching from the "real" thing to the cost-cutter solution to me...

Im confused.. if you are running coil-overs... why not crank them all the way up? They are adjustable right?
