Default Lowering Springs question

Hi all.

I have a suspension question which is more geared towards "Styling"...
Currently on my classic, I have Tein Springs which are doing great, but I feel as though I would like the car to sit a touch lower.
This is only for aesthetics / styling.

Does anybody know of any other brand springs which offer a bigger drop than Tein?

Trying not to go down the coil-over route.

If you can post any pics of your car lowered for reference, that would be great. Thanks

Unlikely to find many that drop lower than Tein in my experience. You may have to look at coilovers. Besides, if you go too far on standard shocks then you will start to run out of travel which will only cause damage to the shocks themselves and you will more than likely have to run very close to the bump stops if not on them if you go to far.

This is a very good point. 😭
