Lowest quality spring?

[Synack]

Been searching for a little while and I've seemed to come up with Eibach Sport and Tein S-Tech.

Eibach claims: 1.4F/1.4R

Tein S-Tech claims: 1.4F/1.2R and 1.5F/1.5R - Not sure which one is true

Are there any others that offer similar or LOWER?
Also, I'm aiming for a bit of quality and not some cheapo spring that'll break or drive like crap.

Ultimately trying to achieve as close to hella flush as possible with lowering springs and my Five Axis S5:F 19" wheels.

The thread title is a little misleading. You should change it to say something like "Largest Drop with Quality Springs" or something of that nature.
Sorry I don't know the answer to your question though...

i have the tein Stech install right now. it lowers the car quite a bit. the ride quality have slightly stiffner than stock, however, there is only one noticeable modulation when going over bumps.

I'll be getting the Eibach Sportlines once they release in a week or 2. You got any pics with the Tein S-Tech?

The lower you go the worse it will ride. The Eibach Pro Kit with it's 1" all around drop is pretty good for what is available right now. It won't throw the suspension geometry off too badly.

Lowering a car as low as you can on springs is generally a horrible idea. It's also not a great idea with coilovers. Each to their own though.

The FR-S / BRZ / GT-86 was engineered to be a great handling car. These are NEW cars, and we all paid a lot for them. Toyota and Subaru spent years engineering this car and it's suspension and I don't foresee any springs anytime soon that go much beyond the 1.5 inch mark.

Just some of the unintended consequences of being to low:

You will not achieve HellaFlush with just Lower Springs.

You sir, are a douche.

I really would appreciate it if people would stop telling me the downsides of lowering the car. I KNOW. I've been working on cars for 12 years. And I don't care. It's not even lowered that much. I'll likely be going with the Eibach Sportlines which is ~1.5" drop. Looking at current Five Axis vehicles with the 19" wheels, it needs maybe a 2" drop to be near flush.

I'll do the measuring once I get the wheels on.

This is my ultimate goal, what I had in my 370.

If I can replicate that and have -1.5 camber all the way around then I'll be happy. Cars just look much better when they are flush in my opinion. I'm not a fan of HELLA flush, but what I did in the rear of the 370 was perfect in my opinion.

Yes I agree! I'm a big fan of flush cars and hella flush is alright, nice to look at probablly a pain to drive hahah, But yeah what you did to your Z is perfect
