Half Inch Drop?
 

Hi guys, is it possible to do a half inch (0.5") drop on the FRS? I've recently ordered some 18 inch rims (Gramlights 57FXX 8J +45 Offset) and have decided to use 225/40/18 rubber over 35s for a more compliant ride. The fitment calculator shows that I'll have about 1cm (0.4") increase in ride height after installing the wheels and tires. I know the difference shouldn't be noticeable but I'm a bit anal about that.

As such, I'm looking to lower the car by about half an inch with just springs rather than a complete coilover kit to save money. I'm actually quite happy with the stock suspension as is and don't need anything firmer. I don't want to go any lower as I'll be scraping the bottom on every-badly designed ramp and road bumps. I was wondering if there are any spring sets out there which fits my requirements? Or is it just a dream? :bow:

Note: Springs only. Similar spring rates to stock and approximately 1cm or half inch drop.

The STI pink springs are about a half inch drop I believe.

Yeah STI Pinks are about ~0.6 inch drop. I think that's the shortest drop.

TRD springs are also a half inch drop

Oooh thanks for the info. Any idea where I can find the TRD springs? A link would be much appreciated! Cheers.

You're looking for the JDM TRD springs. PN is MS250-18001. Japanparts will probably have it. This is an ebay link just for reference for what you're looking for (or just buy it off that link haha): http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/271112421236

Note that there is also a USDM TRD version as well. This is NOT what you want as these are essentially rebranded eibachs with a 1-1.5" drop.

would you be willing to go .75 in? I'm running on mach v springs and the drop is what I think you would like.
