im pretty sure I seen someone mention springs that lower the car 2.3" or 2" I don't know the brand though... I know it wasn't the H&R supersport springs.. Also is it possible to mix and match springs? i have the eibach pro kit, but hate how much gap i have in the rear of the car, the front is fine

I don't know of a set of just springs that will lower your car more than 1.75in. If you care about the ride at all, you'll go with a set of coilovers instead.

Any lowering spring beyond about 1.5 inch will result in a bad ride and destroy your dampers in short order. If you want that much of a drop you need to look at coil overs.

I think 2inches is way to much, I got bmr 1.5 all around and I have to be careful with speed bumps

I have 2 inch drop springs I ordered them online a ways back I wanna say From BMR. you will sacrifice ride quality for sure, it's a lot more stiff... but they aren't as bad as everyone thinks. Haven't had any problems with suspension(yet) and the car looks amazing. I would go at least 1.5. A 1 inch drop isn't much to look at IMO. I can post a pic if you want to see

BMR only make 1 inch and 1.4 inch lowering springs for the SS.

1 SIK SS · 01-08-2014, 01:05 PM

Yeah I got the 1.4

This is 100% correct. We don't recommend going any lower than 1.4" with lowering springs which is why our lowest spring option is 1.4". If you go lower than 1.4" with lowering springs you will have a very marginable ride at best and you will have an issue getting decent alignment specs out of the factory hardware. If you want to go lower than 1.4" we really recommend going with coil-overs.

Can't find the box I had them in. I just moved to Hawaii so I may have tossed it.. They are red and look like BMR's may be I just got the brand mixed up.

If you go too low you will max out the upper control arm front bushing and cause it to fail.

I just shot you a PM with a way to verify whether they are our BMR lowering springs or not.
