All I ever see are coil over springs though without the strut plus coilovers ride like a wagon. No one makes a decent spring that low? GEEZ!

Umm, you want to remove 4" of your box's <6 inch ground clearance, then have it ride like a Cadillac? A decent bump won't even fit under the car, so the springs have to be stiff just to stop the car from dragging on every bump.

Want a smooth ride? Give the wheels some space to move!

the lowest springs i've heard of were 2.2-2.5 inch drop...

lower than that you need coilover or air bags

Im not stupid I know that Ill loose some ride but lower springs vs. coilovers springs ride better. As far as 6" of ground clearance I have about 8" Im runnin 17's with a 40 series tire I think havent measured I could be wrong about ground clearance. Bags unfortunately arent an option right now my gf is driving it with the baby commin. I appreciate everyones opinions though.

i know people arent going to agree w/ me on this, but my friends use to cut springs back in the day, if you want go that route, go w/ tanabe df210 & cut a couple coils & you should get the drop you're looking for. I know, I know cutting springs is bad but hey he's looking for springs that are gonna give him a 3-4 inch drop & they dont make them.
