Default Recommend some lowering springs to me

Im looking for a spring that will lower it no more than 1.5" and give good weight transfer for launching.

Even if its .75" drop thats fine with me aslong as it has good weight transfer

Are these crappy?

Go H&R supersports...I'm at work and on my phone or I'd post some pics. For pics search my last few threads I've started. Perfect stance in my opinion.

You won't want H&R SS then, because they have a bigger drop. I wouldn't buy ebay springs though...

buy fox body 4cyl front springs and drag springs for the rear. Best spring swap option for weight transfer. And wouldn't you know, I'd be willing to sell you a pair of the 4cyls for CHEAP! lol PM me if you want them. They are just sitting in my room and I would like someone to get some use out of them!

yeah basically unless you want to spend alot of money on coilovers you could basically cut your stock springs to your desired ride height and even put in the 4cyl springs up front. other suspension mods will help more for launching than changing out springs.
