    H&r v6

    im looking for about a .8" to 1.5" drop since our roads here in jersey are crappy (NO MORE OR LESS THAN THAT) just to lessen up the RIDICULOUSLY big gap on the front!. So im thinking of getting the H&R V6 lowering springs cuz they give about 1.4" front|1.3" rear drop, and since its for V6 if my memory serves me right i read it somewhere in our forums that V6 engine a lil bit heavier than I4. so maybe that'll give the right drop im looking for?

    correct me if im wrong. opinions are welcome!

    i'd say invest, save up a little and get the damper kit. you will not regret it. besides you can adjust the height to whatever you want

    sounds like the drop for you.

    if you decide to put H&R springs you also have to consider upgrading your shocks and struts when you add everything up together you might as well spent a few hundred more to get a coilover kit. Then you can set the height exactly where you want it.

    When i purchased my eibach and shocks and struts I spent about 700 dollars back in 2003 since there were no full coilover kits at that time and if there was in was in the 1500-2000 range. and at that time I lived in NYC so i been riding on the same shocks and springs for 8 years now and it still rides good. any lowring spings on stock shocks over time will lead you to spend more money than you want.

    A tein drop is a lot different than a h&r drop. I have seen cars with tein springs that didn't even look like it was really dropped.

    yeah but tein advertise a f1.7 r1.3 drop(i4) compared to H&R (v6) 1.4 1.3. And then to put it on a i4 and still be low and even.

    And with AGX since they are known to raise the car a little or not drop as much as GR2's
