What spring can I get the lowest on?

As the title says people I was just wondering what spring i can get the lowest on? I saw on the "how will my car look dropped" thread that the neuspeed race look to get pretty low. I was just interested in some personal experience and feedback.

You wont find any spring lower than the Neuspeed Race. End thread.

Edit: Welcome to the site sir.

i would strongly suggest against going for very low drops and aggressive spring rates on stock shocks.

upgrade your shocks or get coil-overs.

He is too cheap to buy proper dampers or coilovers, yet want to get so low he fubar's his undercarriage/exhaust/oilpan... that im sure he can't afford to fix....

I wonder what Darwin would think of this.

Good call. Ny roads are not for slammed cars, i don't care what anyone says. Anything below 1.5 is just plain stupid....go more conservative and it will still look good.

I've never driven the streets of NYC, so I can't say how bad they are. I've been using the Skunk 2 springs on OEM shocks for around 40,000+ miles and they've been fine. That being said, the Neuspeed Race springs will put a lot more stress on the OEM shocks over the course of time. It shouldn't ruin them quickly (not counting pothole disasters), but I can't see your shocks having the same lifespan of mine either. If you're just looking to slam the car for now, then upgrade the suspension later down the line, go ahead. It's your call after all. Just be sure to get a rear camber kit, and a couple of sets of front camber bolts.
