Default How low?

Alright guys i'm new to the forum, been snooping around for awhile and finally joined. But anyways..

I've been looking into getting a tc for my next ride. Mostly bc i love the way they look lowered haha.
So from what i've read s-tech springs seem to be the lowest spring out, but apparently the new versions aren't as low anymore?
My question is what is the lowest you can go with just springs? Like what brand and all that. Coil-overs wont be an option right away due to the money so no need to mention those haha

Thanks guys!

then stechs are the lowest youll be going roughly 2" all around, enough to be flush with the right tire/wheel setup

raceland theyll run roughly 300 shipped, youll get mixed reviews on them here, if your not auto-xing or anything like that youll be fine, but you would be happier with stechs and some good shocks(bilstein,toxico,eibach ect,ect)

By the time you total up the cost of springs and shocks you're entering coilover territory. I've been saving for a moment to finally get coilovers. Now I'm just waiting for them to arrive. With Tein S-tech springs upgraded shocks is recommended as the drop being drastic the OEM shocks will blow sooner.

I would NEVER pay that price for them. The height adjustment shortens the shock travel, there's no damper adjustment, there's no pillow ball mount or upper mount supplied at all. They're budget priced and should remain that way.
