Order of spring lowness?

I remember reading this somewhere but forget. More specifically I want to know which spring will be second to the Tein S tech in terms of lowness. I planned to get those but was worried about too much scraping. Now that I'm adding a splitter which will extend out 2-3 inches, it will only make it worse, and probably too much. So I figured I should get the next lowest ones.

You sure it's not the H-Tech? Apparently those are 1.5" Front 1.1" rear compared to the eibach 1.2" front 0.9" rear.

Mild to wild~Tanabe, H-Tech, Swift, Eibach, S-Tech, H&Rs.

TBH, why not just get Tein Basis Z coilovers and get just the height you want, only a couple hundred more than springs.

I don't understand.. are the specs listed on websites for the H techs and eibachs not correct?

I'd try and do an image search and see if you can get some good visuals. I've found what's listed on spec sheets doesn't always accurately represent how low they drop, H&R is a prime example, they drop a lot more than what they list. The list I provided starts w/ mild and ends w/ deepest drop.

Does anyone know if there's a reason why the eibachs are wildly more popular than the H techs? In fact, it seems as though the H-techs are the most uncommon spring for the car.. Is there anything I should be concerned about with them?

Could be bc it's too low for some people or bc they're using the same springs from the g35 so people don't like that idea. U still haven't decided on wat suspension ur going with? I thought u picked up something already

H techs are a linear spring, Eibach are progressive, here's a good link to explain what's what~

I know Tein lists them as progressive but the windings are pretty linear vs. typical progressive springs, here's an H-Tech for the G37

And an Eibach, pretty dramatic difference in the windings~

Teins site says it's progressive so that's wat I'm going by.

Yeah the H techs definitely look linear. And I take it that linear isnt as good for daily, non track driving as progressive?

Yeah, they are listed that way and maybe some of their applications have a more progressive spring pack. The S Techs are definitely progressive for the G37
