Lowest Spring drop for 09 sedans?

I was wondering which springs dropped the lowest, because im a little confused on the numbers. the h&r say they drop 1.3 or something like that but it looks like its almost a 2 inch drop. I dont really want coilovers anymore, all of them were a little too stiff for my taste. Thanks

H&R are def the lowest drop for springs.

uhhhhh, on most coilovers you can adjust the dampening, so how can they be too stiff? lol

I dunno, i had the zeals, kw, and teins on the lowest setting on my STI and it was still alittle stiff on the freeways, but i guess thats what you get when you buy coilovers hehehe. But it handled like a beast!

try some 370z aftermarket lowering springs. i used them on my 1st gen G sedan and didn't have any issues... the 350z h&rs dropped an additional 1" to give me a 2.5" drop on my sedan back then.

bumping this thread. I am looking to put springs on my 6MT sedan. I want to drop it but not a lot. I would be happy with .75" to 1.00". I don't see a consensus in the info above. Anyone have any additional input?

Will aftermarket springs have a higher rate than stock Sport? Ultimately I want stiffer springs with a little drop to close the fender gap and lower the cg a little.

thanks.

IMPUL is what you are looking for, a mild and even drop all the way around.

Thanks. The IMPUL's sound hard to get and very expensive. What's the next best option for someone who wants a mild drop or an inch or less?

I'd get the H&Rs meant for your sedan, it'll be plenty low

Here's Tein S techs


And H&Rs


These should both be the springs made for the Sedan, not the z springs FWIW. Here's the link for the H&Rs on 180s page

**Insert "in fest forum" in the starred-out spaces (without any spaces) , it won't let me link them
