I'm interested in dropping my v 1" with springs. I've looked around but most of the time the springs don't list how much of a drop you get. I'm leaning towards Megans... how Much of a drop would I expect? Any others that would give me about an inch?

Thank you!

go with megan springs 2 inch front and 1.75 rear

Thats too low for me! I'd have an anxiety attack!

I have TEIN springs on mine and love them. They're around 1.5in. all around.

How careful do you have to be with pot holes, intersections, etc.? Is it a big difference in how much caution you must take compared to the stock suspension?

 

[JayxSnoogans]

I agree. The car isn't much lower than stock but it looks and rides a lot better.

JoshG, do you have to drive very cautiously? Just not sure if it's worth it for me. Haha but basically I just want someone to tell me "It's not that bad."

I have the Tanabe NF210 lowering springs installed. I love the look and all but the main problem is my location. I live in NYC and the roads here SUCK @$$. Dont get me wrong the springs run great when the road is smooth and i love it but if you are in a area with pot holes and bumps it might not be to comfy to ride in. Sometimes im on the highway and i go over a bump with a loud bang and it would hit hard enough for my window wipers to turn on. I cringe everytime this happens lol. So im switching to the Nismo Suspension kit or the Tein or Tanabe Coilover from BoB at versaspeed.

Dang coilovers are awesome but at a very different price point than springs.. I don't think I could get my wife on board for that kind of purchase!

Yea the Nismo Suspension Kit is like 780$ and the Coilovers are about 100-200 more. But hey go for the Springs and try them out. Its not really much a problem if you live in a area with good road conditions. I have only used the Tanabe NF210 so i can only speak for those not sure about the other lowering springs like Megan, Tein, H&R, and Eibach. Maybe some of those could be better with rougher roads.

Yeah springs are a more distant plan but a plan, for sure! Roads here in Colorado are pretty good and I def. don't want to lower any more than 1.5".
