what spring has the "LEAST" DROP

I LOVE THE LOOK OF MY CAR WITH MY 17'S. BUT IT RIDES WORSE THAN MY DAUGHTER SHOCKLESS GO CART WITH THE 205/40/17'S AND THE H&R SPRINGS
THE 09/10 AVEO HAS A LOW SPOT IN THE INNER FRONT FENDER THAT GOES JUST ABOVE TIRE TOP TO WHERE BUMPER MEETS FENDER (ON THE INSIDE )I DONT THINK AN 04/08 INNER FENDER WILL WORK ON 09/10 MODELS (BECAUSE OF NOSE CHNG ON 09/10 MODELS )
MY CAR IS RUBBING THIS SPOT .IF IM RUNNING 70 DOWN INTERSTATE AND HIT A CHNGING ROAD SPOT U CAN HEAR IT RUB FOR AN INSTANT ,,BUT DRIVING 70 THERES A LOT OF INTSANCES
ITS ENOUGH ITS RUBBIN THRU MY INNER FENDER IN SPOTS OR WILL EVENTUALLY BREAK EM BADLY
ALL MY FRIENDS SAY CUT IT OUT- IM NOT GONNA ..I PAY 60 MONTHS ON THIS AND THIS GIVES ME NIGHTMARES . I WILL GET A SMALLER WHEEL FIRST ,,BUT I SURE DONT WANT TO CHNG WHEELS
IF I CAN JUST GET FRONT END UP MAYBE A QRTR IN OR SO I KNOW I WILL B OKAY
SO HERES MY QUESTION AND ITS SUPER IMPORTANT AND YOUR INPUT IS MUCH APPRECIATED
WHICH SPRING FOR OUR AVEO'S HAS THE "LEAST" AMOUNT OF DROP
IS THERE A HALF IN DROP DIFFERENCE IN FRONT BETWEEN H&R AND OTHER BRANDS
IF SO ILL TRY ANOTHR SET OF SPRINGS BEFORE I SELL MY WHEELS
AND BY THE WAY H&R IS NOT THE GREATEST COMPANY IN THE WORLD FOR TECH SUPPORT
THEIR ANSWER WAS "WELL MAYBE YOUR SPRINGS HAVE WRONG PART NUMBER IN CORECT BOX"
IM LIKE DOES THIS REALLY HAPPEN ONCE IN A WHILE ,,AND APPPARENTLY IT DOES
SO I DOUBLE CHECKED I HAVE THE RIGHT H&R SPRINGS . THEN THEY SAY WELL WITH A LOW PROFILE TIRE ITS JUST NATURE OF BEAST '
I KNOW IT WILL B STIFFER BUT LOL NOT THIS STIFF
AND I KNOW THEY ARE ON RIGHT,,IM NOT A CERTIFIED TECH NOW BUT I USE TO B AND LOL IM FRIENDS WITH PICKIEST MECHANIC IN WORLD (ME)
SO IF U GUYS HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS PASS EM ON
I TRULY THINK APEX SPRINGS WILL B MY CURE ALL AND THINK THEY HAV LEAST DROP
BUT NOTHING TALKS LIKE EXPERIENCE
SO WHICH ONES HAVE THE LEAST DROP

if you change out the h&Rs ill buy them, if they are for the first gen, didnt see it i the paragraph

you might be better of going back to stock if you have the stock springs

THE SPRINGS FOR 04 UP MODELS R ALL THE SAME PART NMBR
REASON U SEE 04-07 OR 04-08 IS BECAUSE THATS WHEN THAT ADD CAME OUT AND THEY HAVNT UPDATED THIR PRODUCT DATA
IM NOT GONNA GO BAK STOCK BUT IM DEFINTELY GONNA SWAP EM OUT
I WILL KEEP U POSTED

i'd try this. it will keep it stiff maybe~

okay, on a side note i think that the h&r springs have the least drop, 1.5 front and 1.4 back, the apex ones might be 1.2-1.3 back and front, i cant remember though, ever thought about going with coilovers instead? It will give you a better ride overall, and you can go low 8)

myabe some kyb struts may help as well

would raising it with those rings help?

OSCAR THATS A GREAT IDEA
BELL TECH MAKES A .5 IN SET OF THESE THAT WILL FIX ME IM SURE
THANK U SO MUCH

AND OSCAR LOL HOW DO U ALL KEEP FROM RUBBING WITH THOSE 18'S
DID U DO THIS ON STOCK SPRINGS

stock springs still. as a matter a fact i just now put the rims back on.
i like to remove them and switch back 2 stock when we take the aveo too the beach or Houston.

it only rubs with alota weight. for example. 3 peeps in side. or sharp turns out of a drive way.
i did tho use a sledge 2 push in a bit of the metal. or i could have used some small spacers. wifey drives the car and she bearly weighs 100 lbs so for her it never rubs :lol:

Sounds like you already found your solution. But too answer your original question, eibach springs have the least drop (except, of course stock springs :P and coil overs set to the highest setting).

i ordered those spacer soon as thgey get here im gonna saw em in half
making them half inch spacers and then ill put em on

oscar ,,u r a genuis ,,that spacer did the trick ,,car still has a lil rake top it too ,,we put spacer n h&r front springs then compared them to stock fronts ,,so i was like ok lets try spacer n h&rs ,,it workd out perfect ,,i can hit potholes at 80 now if i had too
thanks
