which spring can i get

[marios13]

does anyone know where i can get springs for my180sx and give me a really good drop something close to a slam. i can't stand the gap i have in the front.
or do i have to get one piece coil overs

look at the picture below this is the kind of tuck

[morpheus8486]

I have espelir asd springs and they give the best drop for a spring I've ever seen. Look at my sig or cardomain site for more pictures. I would just get coilovers to begin with though.

I hear the Tanabe drop is pretty good. Tein has a good drop, but you'll still have a gap. Megan also has a pretty good drop from what I know.

I have Eibach sportlines you can check them out on my cardomain www.cardomain.com/id/oldskoo240sxs13 spring rates suck ( Near stock ) but provide good drop 2.2" front 2.1" rear, i believe.

nice lip on your car on cardomain profile. Looks like it was bought brand new, or just painted black. I love those lips, never should have sold the one off my parts car....

[vinhisbored]

For that look, I think you should just save up and get adjustable coilovers.

dropping that low on springs will hinder your front shock travel drastically. There are some ways around this with some modifications, but it's best to just go ahead and step up to coilovers.

You live in Brooklyn. You drive a 240SX. Not a 180SX. Quit being an idiot.

[caall99]

i agree, stop with the shyt. you're no JDM man, so chill it

[nissantfsx]

Teins springs will only give you a drop of about 1.5 inch. if you really care about the gap...then dont get teins springs.

The eibach sportlines looks pretty good...i was about to get that too, but then a friends suggested Tein coilovers which i am still thinking. Kinda expensive, but they are adjustable, so you could drop your car to any desired height. And remember, coilovers are 1 piece...instead of the combinations of springs and shocks. I dont know which will last longer...but i think that one piece is always better than two.

I've got Espelir springs all around, and i can only insert 2fingers into my wheel well. To truely lower the car, you'll need shocks also, or just get coilovers. MR coilovers Rock!

Sprint springs will get you on the floor.

[sw20>>s14]

sprint/intrax/aerospeed (cant believe i can acually name them) would fix your problem... ... it actually might give you more problems, but it would fix your "gap problem"...shit, if you want drop, bag it...doesnt sound like you care about the real advantages of dropping a car anyways...good luck :keke:

R240NA wuts up with ur mouth if you got nothing to say about the springs dont hit me up on this thread. other wise keep your mouth shut.
slow as mofo from atl bitch. i know its a 240 and what.
caall99 you sound like a herb go back to ur trailer.

i didnt wanna say shit but man wut the fuk is up with u 2

[projectRDM]

I didn't say anything because you asked what springs will drop your car that low. Common sense, one of the things you're apparently missing, would tell you that there's nothing short of removing the springs altogether that will get your car that low unless you're running something that's adjustable and allows for significant lowering.
Plus your reasoning behind lowering your car is probably based on how cool it looks, you'll have horrible bumpsteer unless you change everything else, you'll scrape on every piece of pinestraw on the road, and the car will ride like ass. But, it'd be cool since you drive a 180 and are so JDM.
It's people like you that make me question Darwin's theories.

[vinhisbored]

Anyways, I think that you should just save up for coilovers. It'll be worth your money. With a drop that low, at times, you'll just be so tired of it (because you'll be hitting so many things, if you're not careful). Then, with coilovers, you could raise them anytime. You'd have to stick w/ the springs if you had them, and 'most likely' everyone likes to upgrade to coilovers sometime. The ride feels alot better too.

[marios13]

how i lack common sense you say. well maybe if you read the question correctly i stated what spring will give my car a nice drop or slam look. apparently you don't read and jump to conclusions that's the problem with you. instead of actually helping others you enjoy putting down others.
maybe back then you had problems and people would ridicule over you.
but thats over now it's ok man i don't hate you, but to me you will always be my carbon fiber bitch hahhahahahah.

meaning of a carbon fiber bitch:
a person who seem to know about the import scene and talks out of his ass
also known as a hater.

in anycase, a reason of actually having the car that low is for center gravity for high speed cornering.
not only that but its good for drifting, one because its slammed the wheels in the back toe's in causing better traction but there's more to it anyways in drift set up not just that.

unless you actually do the one piece..
morpheus8486 and oldy your car looks nice that low.

Chernobyl what did you mean about modification, i hope u dont mean cutting the springs

[marios13]

[oldskoo240sxs13]

[Chernobyl]

Chernobyl what did you mean about modification, i hope u dont mean cutting the springs


I meant either getting camber plates that will raise the position of the top spring perch some or getting koni inserts in the front and dropping them farther than suggested by drilling out the bottom of the strut and welding some more tubing down there, the lowering the bottom spring perch. Either way will get your front suspension lower without sacrificing suspension travel.

And i've never seen anyone do either of these, althogh I've looked into it myself and know it would work. Just takes some ingenuity.

btw no problem with cutting springs. all depends on where and how much you cut, and the type of spring it is. ;)
