Who Makes The Best Drop Springs For P5

i have the eibach pro-kit (1.4 f & 1.2 r) and i love it. you should go to the rims/tires/suspension forum and check out the second sticky post there called "spring buyers guide". you'll find the springs right for you.

How much harder does the car ride? what size wheels and tires are you running?

i have tokico hps and eibachs, so the ride is a little harder. i'm using my stock wheels but i have 205/50-16 tires (the extra width makes them look beefier).

on smooth pavement, it feels like stock, very nice. but on rougher pavement or a bumpy road its kinda harsh, not so harsh that it hurts, but you feel everything. for a daily driver, i says its a good compromise. pretty comfortable on the streets and really fun on twisty roads. when i drive on the backroads it feels amazing, the car doesn't roll very much. i think this setup is probably the least aggressive -besides puting racing beats springs on your stock struts.

Assuming my MP3 springs are the same ones that Racing Beat sells for the P5 I would have to agree.

I don't like the rear being lower than the front though.

But on the track, braking and cornering were definitely improved. To complete this "mild" setup I would say some thicker sway bars front+rear would help complete this package.

i have tein s-tech great ride and great drop
Can we see some more pics than the one in your sig? how much did you get yours for?
 
jic n1 is harsh as well on bumpy roads however, on nicely paved roads...yeah it's sweet especially on those U-like turns at high speeds. the n2's r even harsher. u'll either love it or hate it...it's more of a track thing. er was it n1 or a1? dang 4got lol. oh the other thing that is annoying is that damn sloshing noise it makes when u hit bumps.
 
i am installing gold lines on my P5 on the 24'th. heard good reviews about them.....will let you know in a couple weeks....
