only springs I know that dont drop the post facelift a lot are Teins. Other SS members have H&R and it lowers it what the site says. H&R springs drops the cars the lowest of all springs for our cars.

the issue with h&r is that it drops the rear a lot lower than the fronts and since the ss use either #1 or #2 pads in the rear most get #4 pads to pick up the rear a bit to match the front to give it the natural rack our cars have.

Thanks a lot is cutting springs bad? Example.. as in cutting the front spring to match the rear drop? Does it take time for springs to settle in or with the drop be instant

sport models come with #1 or #2 pads actually. you can tell by when you remove the rear spring the pad will have little numbs on them letting you know which one you have. most actually get 4 pads because it drops the rears quite a bit lower than the fronts making the rake look off.
