Whos got lowering springs on their FD's

I bought some lowering springs to put on with my 18's. I thought it looks kinda weird if you dont lower it. I ordered the tanabe lowering springs anybody have any experience with these? I guess they lower about the same as Racing Beat.

I have racing beat and I love them. They lower the car just enough to be sporty but not too low to be undriveable. I have no problems with curbs or speed bumps, just take them slow.

I have the Racing Beats with Tokico 5 way adjustables on my VR 93 Touring. Looks sweet, rides better than stock.

Do any of you have lowering springs on with the stock suspension?

I had both the H&Rs and Racing Beat springs with Eibach Sway bars and stock Showa R1 shocks. The Racing Beats with Showa shocks were stiffer than the H&Rs.

I have my racing beats on stock struts. No problem with ride quality at all. It is a little stiffer but nothing that I mind

I have Eibachs on my stock R1 struts and I bite the fender sometimes on hard turns. I think my struts have about had it. I scrape everywhere on my R1 lip. Like Mahjik, some driveways I don't even attempt. At high speed through the twisties I will hear my car scrape a little when I take hard turns fast or on sweeping hill bottoms.
