Who cares what color your springs are??? Last thought in my mind when looking for springs. LOL Ive heard a million people sporting the Tokico HP shocks with Tein S-Tech springs. Its about 1.5-1.7 drop.

How low of a drop do you guys recommend I get/look for if I have 17"wheels? I don't want the car slammed, and I don't want my car to still look stock. Just something that will smooth out my ride, while giving it a semi-agressive look.

I've got 17's on my car and I ride with the Tokico HPK (HP springs and shocks) setup and my ride feelsjust as comfortable asstock, it's about a 2" drop all around, check out my gallery (btw, I don't rub unless I'm going 2mph and turn the wheel all the way).

I have 17s and 2 inches would rub like hell!! I dont see how you dont rub unless you have some cam issues. My rear end already sits lower than the front. So im looking at the Tokico HPs with Tein S-Techs. Its a little smaller of a drop.

I think the back sitting lower than the front happens with any springs on a 4dr, cause mine is like that too. I'd suggest getting coilovers, that's what I'm doing next...
