Okay, i found this info in one of your posts (99gst_racer). Now my question is. With a full weight , DD car that sees teh strip abotu 1-3 times a year just to see where i'm at, which of the following will give me an aggresive bit of handling on teh streets but not beat me to death? I only want to lower it about 1.75 - 2 inches , or about the same as the car in your avatar. I've heard that 2G cars need to have teh rear stiifeneed a LOT before they sstart to handle well so i was thinking about the H&R or Megan rates in a 7 inch spring from Hyperco ( or would that be too stiff for a DD?). How's that sound as far as a decent setup? or what would you recomend since you've been in my EXACT shoes in this scenario.

H&R (Race spring) (FWD and AWD share the same rates)
2.0"F, 1.75"R lowering

Rear: 260 #
H&R (Sport spring)
1.7"F, 1.4"R lowering
They would not disclose spring rates for these. They explained that there are too many variables to accurately use spring rates. I'm assuming these are comparable to the Sprints.

Suspension Techniques

Tein S-Tech
1.3”F, 1.2”R lowering
Front: ? (mixed results)
Rear: ? (mixed results)
Sprint
2.0” or 1.5” lowering (optional)
They would not disclose spring rate information in fear of other manufacturer spin offs. They informed me that they are typically 20-30% stiffer than stock.
