GE8 Lowered Thread - Post your pics!!!

So it seems like the RSR and Eibach are closest to stock springs ...
I would like to lower, but I still want to be able to load my car up and also not worry about my dampers or ride quality...
Am I right in assuming that these choices are best, or is there something better for stock feel?

Here's my SSM, lowered with Tanabe DF210.
I would like to say thanks to all of you that helped me though the process of deciding what springs to buy.
Am very pleased with the drop and how the car still rides comfortably with OEM wheels/tires.

The Hipermax S-Compact looks good on your car! What's the rim size/offset/tire size? I suppose that the wheels are powder coated bronze paint.
Nice, nice!

My friend has a fit with Mugen LG body kit and is looking to lower a little.
He's loking at the RSR Suspension Coil with a slight drop because he only has 160mm of ground clearance on the front with stock springs, 16" mags and Mugen LG body kit.
He's a little worried the car may lower more than the manufacture specifications. How much sag will usually occure in time?
Maybe someone can help.

Depends on the springs. Some will "sag" lower than more. I don't have experience with RSR springs, but like most springs I would assume .25 - .50" lower after it settles.
On a side note, I was going to order the HKS coilovers today, but after checking the specs, it says 40mm or 45mm drop in the front? The car above looks pretty low to me, doesn't look the specs listed by HKS.
Lazyboi - Are you all the way down? If not, how much lower can you get? Thanks man.

really?!?!?! Can you post more pics of how low you are right now? You look pretty low, but there's a shadow so i cant see the wheel gap.The back still looks a little high up though...looks like another inch in front would tuck tire, and in the back would bring you to a finger gap?
Sorry for all the questions.

[QUOTERSR Suspension Coil Drop F-0.8 in / R-1.0 (???) in Spring Rates F- 2.26kg/mm/R-2.3kg/mm ][/QUOTE]
I have been looking everywhere to get a set of these. Does anyone know where to buy them?
Do you think the US spec is the same as Asian spec and what is the OEM K spring rate compared to RSR Suspension Coil.
