I think the biggest spring drop you are going to find is 1.75" with Intrax springs. Thats what I have. Most of the other manufactuers will drop it anywhere from 1" to 1.5". Anything lower is going to require coilovers.

I think TEIN makes a spring that lowers 2" and 3". Its the top end one, but I am not sure they make it for 6GC..

From what I have found searching, your going to have to go with coilovers, like KLR-toy. Id suggest going with the tein set, I think it costs around $1200 for the set, or you could go with ground control which will cost around $600.

Springs for the 6gc will not lower any more than 2 inches simply because suspension stroke will be too crappy.

how long ago did you get your springs? maybe you need to let them settle in first. That actually takes 1-2 months ive heard
