well im at the point where my car is almost at the 2000lb mark... so shes getting sprung up. whats the lowest lowest spring i can buy short of GC adjustables... this is a mazda on a budget guys.

RS*R Race springs are some of the lowest I know. 1.2 inches in the front and 2 inches in the rear. I hope you have enough money to buy good shocks and a rear camber adjuster, though. I also heard Intrax springs slam your car, but they're soft and could cause scraping.

rs_1101

well right now my car sits +1 inch up.. so i doubt ill need camber adjusters.. the whole point of this is to give a net drop of at least a half inch with all interior removed and lightweight components installed. i already have tokiko blues.

The RSR springs are really stiff so they might blow your Tokikos. Look into the Intrax springs.

i would consider lowering my vert but the streets in my area are crappy an there are a coupple brick roads that arent maintained that well / and they like to do road work ware you have a 3-4 inch drop off has a slight ramp but a nuff to scare me and spead bumps i've already scraped my exaughst on one in the area and one of the schools i went to one of my friends had to manover around the speed bumps because his Z28's exaughst could not clear them

I have apex springs and it is 1.65 in the front, and 1.85 in the rear... they are really good springs, very predictable.

How did you get it down to 2000lbs?

rs_1101

lol i lied, but its getting down there.. lots of stuff removed. lots and lots of stuff. enough stuff to make it spring up an inch, and its a base model to start with.

I know it's cheap, but Arospeed springs are 1.8 front and rear...
Just a thought...

rs_1101

bcool

^ Maybe some KG/MM's <--Yes its a brand and they're only sold in japan, their springs are colored blue (light or dark blue depending on what you got) It looks like it sits just about as low as my car and they are STIFF

slimjim16

nah, sorry. I still want to give 'em a try.

But, they do offer them on speedmachineperformance.com for only like $200 shipped. One thing; they took a while to get here. The 'confirmation' email they sent me said the order was being processed and they would be shipped out promptly. Well, three weeks later I called them and they said the order was... "being processed". So, BS. After it was all said and done, I got them in like 6 or so weeks.
