I am considering a set of springs to help lower my SV6 (get that back end down a bit), I don't won't to stiffen the ride though. I put a set of Whiteline springs in my old WRX and I just about rattled my teeth out. The springs in the SV6 aren't too stiff, just a little high.
Can someone recommend a set of springs that will drop the height but maintain the same level of firmness? Or am I just asking too much. Previous threads talk about ride height but don't really compare to factory springs. BTW I don't want the cars rear end dragging on the ground.

It might be best to get your original springs 'reset' or compressed. I had it done on my very old alfa 90 abd it wasnt that bad a ride. It was just ok. You 'CAN' tell that you have done something to the suspension, but i think its not that bad...plus...you will eventually get used to it!
