Which springs has lowest drop?
Interested in purchasing some srpings from the rx7store website. Which of these has the lowest drop Eibach, HR, Racing beat or RSR. Also which one is the stiffest?
Thanks

Out of the ones you listed, the Eibachs will give a lower setting in the front than the others, but the H&R will have a slightly lower drop in the rear. I believe all of those springs are linear rates besides the H&R which are progressive rate. The RSR Race Springs will be the stiffest of the bunch, but will only lower the car about .4" front and rear.
Are you after performance or looks?
Also, what shocks are you using, stock or aftermarket?
I've heard of the stock shocks not working well with very high spring rated springs. I've never seen proof of this myself, so take it with a grain of salt until someone else with more knowledge pops in.

The problem will be trying to put bigger wheels on a lowered car. You'll need probably one or more of the following:
1. rolled fenders
2. Koni adjustable perch
3. coilovers
Coilovers are expensive, but they'll give you the adjustability you'll want to lower your car as much as possible without rubbing. Many people have gone with a Tokico Shock/Ground Control coilover setup. Something like that can be done for under $1000.
Here are some pictures to compare:

I have the RS*R "race" springs on my car (got them from rx7store) with Koni's set on the softest setting and they have been a great addition to my car. IMHO - they are probably about as stiff a spring as you shoud run on the Koni's. I am running 255/40-17 on the front and 275/40-17 on the rear and they only rub on a serious pothole. These springs do drop the rear more than the front IMHO. My front fenders are rolled.
