Default Mildest drop springs?

Well, I've gone back and forth about what I wanted to do to my car. At first, I had decided on the rear Roush springs, mainly because I don't want my chin spoiler to scrape.

Now, however, I'm thinking I want a mild drop all the way around. What springs would provide a slight drop that wouldn't completely jeopardize my chin spoiler?

Steeda sport seem to have the least drop at 1 inch. Eibach and FRPP range from 1 inch to 1 and a half depending on the part number. Too big of a drop, all else being equal, can hurt handling. Not familiar with the other brands.

Your car looks like it needs to come down a bit in the rear for sure. Think Steeda advertise slightly lower drop in the rear than front with their springs.

Cheers.

I know that the Vogtland ride height balancing springs on Strano's site advertise a .8" drop in front and 1.2" drop in rear. That's the mildest I've seen.

That's what I have. This is what your ride height will look like. I have about 6" of clearance up front with my CDC lip spoiler.
