Im planning on lowering my car but i heard that the eibach sportlines isnt low enough to eliminate wheel gap. Please tell me what other springs provide good ride with the lowest possible drop. thank you

sportlines not low enough? &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/eh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':eh:'>

I hear tanabe springs give you a 2" drop, but if you want something lower you have to get some coilovers. &nbsp;The cheapest set are GC coilovers, but you need some shocks...i hear they can drop your car 4 inches. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

You checkout the HKS Super Form, but I forgot the drop. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

If you're actually looking for handling then you are much better off to go w/ a stiffer set of sway bars, it sounds like you just want it to look lowered though...

Well... what exactly are you looking for?... do you want just the drop , performance, or both? &nbsp;If the drop is the case, then Tanabe's 2" drop will do the job, but will create havoc in the camber department. If you want both, then look to invest in true coil-overs, but mind you, you'll still need a camber kit if going lower than 1.75".

. . .

If you are just looking for looks, cut your springs and be ghey. Seriously "Lowered" means nothing. 240sx's are awesome handling cars. If you mean to replace the springs, do it for performance, not for looks.

Your front camber and rear toe will be so off that your car will drive with all the handling and grace of a drunken girl at a frat party.

What springs give you the lowest drop? &nbsp; Why none at all of course. &nbsp;None at all.
