Which Spring? Tried 2 already.

After reading this thread
https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...6&page=1&pp=15

The RS*Rs look good. Im looking for performance not so much drop. My dad finally learned his lesson with the crappy Racing Beat springs, the drop was substantial, and its difficult navigating the car through even the smallest holes. Also the scraping going into gas stations, shopping malls or anything is just getting obsurd. I had the Eibachs on my FD and I liked them alot but even considered those a bit too droped. Do the RS*Rs racing drop more than the Eibachs. BTW my dads car has Tokikos Adjustables, their really nice, good firm ride, no problem thus far.

The RSR's say they only drop .4, but I heard its .6. So basically 1/2 an inch. Not a big drop at all.

I'm using HKS sport springs as well. I love the spring rate but they dropped my car a HELL of a lot more than the advertised 0.4" up front. More like 1.5" on my car. The spring rates feel good though. Very little body roll and still tolerable for daily driving (~400/290 average rate - progressive springs).

He loves them, obviously or he would have changed them out. IMO, the RSR Race Springs would be my first choice for performance. If you have stock wheels, thenn the Eibachs will work just fine. I had problems with rubbing using them with my aftermarket wheels so I had to roll my front fenders.

Well Im running the Eibachs on my car, and the only rubbing I get is at full lock , like making a U turn or something, and Im pretty happy with them. Im going to try to get a deal, I guess which ever i get a better price with , is the one I'll get.

I'm suprised you would have such a drastic difference in drop from me. They do carry a no sag warranty if you don't like that much drop. I like mine, it rides and handles much better than stock.
