Message I just finished the Brembo brake install with braided lines, matrix pads, etc (Gambler Z kit). And next is to redo my entire suspension including sways, struts bars, and new springs and struts. The Sprint springs have a rating of 1.80 drop! Sounds like alot to me and I haven't made my mind that I want to go that low. However a while back someone had posted they used these and I loved the stance of the car with them installed (pic posted), looked mean.

Anyway the point at hand is, what strut combo should I go with if I drop the car this low? I do not want the type of ride where every bump feels like part of the car just fell off! Is this drop too radical to still get a nice ride? If so, what spring package would you recommend me using? My buddy said to use Intrax, but for some reason i have never been partial to Intrax, just me? Also, will I need camber adjustment no matter what springs I put in? I always understood that the lower you go the worse your camber, so am I creating more of a mess by dropping it lower than say the Eibach .80?

I know springs have ben covered before, but I am posing personal questions to the topic and want some fresh ideas. I have been looking at the KYB Adjustable AGX, could these offset the 1.80 drop and still give a nice ride?

Thanks for any and all suggestions you guys give. By the way, this theoretical setup is for my TT, not the N/A. And also, I realize that dropping the car with give me a little rougher ride, thats not what I am worried about, it is the harsh "O Shit did I brake something ride" that I am trying to avoid.

Drive a TT and you'll realize that turbo should be a standard option on all cars!!!
