actually, id say the best struts for dropping are

Koni yellows

Tokiko D specs

KYB AGX

as far as non adjustable for dropping, i don't know of any, but hell, you can get a set of AGX on ebay for under four hundred bucks, id just do that

The 1.5" limitation is just an easy way for them to say no really high spring rates. The actual ride height means nothing, it's the spring rate that makes all the difference. If you're bottoming out all the time that voids warranty too.

If can't remember the numbers but they're around here somewhere, the spring rates that KYB will warranty up to.
Maybe they were 300lb/in front and 250lb/in rear... I don't relly remember.


Don't use the KYB's.

^That depends on the drop. Small drops (<1.5" usually), KYB AGXs are great! GR2s shouldn't have any drop.

I love my AGX's and Prokit... I wanted a subtle drop which the prokit gives me, so i went with the KYB AGX's, if i wanted lower i would have went with Koni.

Here's the same info that's in the FAQ sorted for easy use:

KYB GR2s, Tokico HPs:
14- Suspension Tech (1.2")
17. Tien H-tech (1.1''-0.9'')

KYB AGX:
4- Eibach Pro kit (1.4")
10- MantaPart Sport Springs (1.5")

Koni's (Yellow or Red), Tokico D-Specs, Billstiens, Mantapart Sport:
1- Apex (1.6")
2- B-G Sport Springs (1.6")
5- Eibach Sportline (1.7F - 2.3R)
7- GoldLine (1.75")
8- H&R Springs (1.6F - 1.4R)
10- MantaPart Sport Springs (2.0")
13- Sprint (1.8")
16. Tien S-tech (1.7'' and 1.5'')

Other springs mentioned in the FAQ were left out because it's my personal opinion that you shouldn't use them. Also, any spring that starts or sags to past 2.0" will void almost all strut warranties.

If you're looking for coilovers (which are more expensive, but adjustable). I would recomend:
Tein Basics or SuperSports
Gravana Coilovers
RK ProStreets
Ground Control with Konis or Tokico D-Specs

They don't make Prostreets anymore. So you would have to find a place that still has them.
