V6 drop springs

I am trying to do some research on some drop springs so I can lower my car 1.5" to 1.75" or whatever is reasonable with the rear a little higher then the front. I need some help on what are good prices and what are some good brands.

Thanks
Alex

To get that low I do not suggest lowering springs. On these cars you will end up with a terrible ride and significantly reduced damper life. If you have to go that low you will want to look at coil overs.

If coil overs are outside your budget, we carry the BMR "Split" 1.4 inch front/1 inch rears lowering spring package. Here is a pic.

I thought the split drop is a no go for the v6?

Good call. I missed the V6 part. You will have to look at Pfadt, Eibach, etc., etc. if coil overs aren't in the cards.

Damn I wish BMR would fix the problem quickly I really liked the price and the split and the option to powder coat red or black. HURRY UP BMR :P
