eibach road race springs are what your looking for all the way from 200 lbs to 1300lbs. i would get around 600 lbs springs 500 if you want a "smoother" ride. but 600 if you want to tell the wickedest corners "is that all you got?"

if you go over speed bumps EVER DO NOT do this.....you could have no springs at all and just a sloid front end and you would bottom out with a 2 inch drop and LY headers.
you are going to have less than an inch of clearance with a 2 inch drop and LTs

not true i have a 2-3.5" drop (depending on the road course) and headers and i can do a 150mph transition from a banked straight to a totally flat corner and not bottom out with 800lb coilovers

Oh boy, I think I may be in trouble. What if you severely angle the car? Because I have speed bumps at school and if I get the wheels up on the bump, it makes for a lot more clearance.

DK he's not talking about a race car.....he lives in the real world with the rest of us. in the real world we drive on roads that are almost always not smooth.....and speed bumps can be up to 3 inches tall.
