Slammed v6
I'm looking for the lowest drop possible on our v6 using just springs. I can't afford bags or coils so springs are my only option. Anyone got any nice set ups? Pics would be great

I think the h&r super sports will give you about the lowest drop you can get without anything else. But if you go anything more than a 1.5" spring, you'll need other things lol. Plus with the springs 25bduse has, yours won't sit as low cuz it's a tad lighter.

FlordiaSixer you still debating which springs to get lol. H&R springs are probably going to be the lowest but your gonna have to change a lot to keep the suspension geometry in spec and aligned. Shocks, struts, cc plates panhard, control arm relo brackets and probably a bumpsteer kit and adj. uca.

I have a pair of the sr springs I picked up on sale, just waiting to install them with everything else. I think I'm going to want lower as well lol, but we'll see.

that's what I'm afraid of. Although, I drive 80 miles a day and I don't want it too low so that the ride will be ****.
And is that photo just springs, nothing else? CVH had a thread he did with gt500 mounts koni strt's and sr springs and I thought his looked a little lower.

I thought the SR springs rode like crap but this could have also been because they just didn't pair well with my Steeda Pro-Action shocks & struts. Not sure but I tried them with my Koni yellows and also didn't like the ride.

It could have a lot to do with driving conditions. The roads I drive my pony on are mostly smooth in general, until I hit Miami. I do notice all the bumps, but it is a trade off for getting the ><1.6 drop I received all around. Unfortunately I can not find another spring set that will offer the same drop unless I go coil overs. FYI. I am currently looking for another spring set because my wife does not like the ride.
