    Lowest drop possible on a 7G

    I'm looking to slam my car on the ground literally.. maybe 4" off the ground from the bottom of the JDM bumper. Right now I'm riding Sprint springs and KYB GR2's. I will be getting KYB AGX's with the new springs though. If not then TEIN SS Basic damper setup. What type of springs do you all suggest?

    just short of cutting your springs i think your springs are as low as you can go before moving to a coil over, I had some sportlines i sold to a member and he told me he was scraping the snow while he drove, but then again they did have about 10k miles on them.

    Coils, and good camber are what you need.

    why don't you want an air suspension again? Aside from the costs, that is the best alternative.

    Tein Basic Damper system is the way to go if you don't want bags. Thier setting can definately get you to the lowest possible point without the bags.
