if your gonna do it yourself, just be carefull with the springs on the car right now, because there holding a lot of force, and its gonna suck if your or your car gets fucked up over impatience and carelessness

Eibach makes 2 kits,prokit and sportlines..i installed the sportlines,they drop the front 2 inches,and the rear a little over 2,the pro kit lowers the front about an inch,the rear alittle over an inch.Took me about 4 hours with a floor jack and jack stands,in the driveway..I still haven't got the front camber bolts (needed for a 2 inch drop),i'll do that when i put on my 20 soon.Sorry for the shitty pics,i'll take a few when i change the rims..

Theres other company's also,H&R..Tein...etc..drop rates vary.Sportlines drop the most as far as i know...If theres something lower...someone let me know pronto..i might fab something up to get another 1/2 inch drop all around.

I have the eibach pro kit on mine. For me with 20s, I just think the sportline kit is too low. I guess its all a matter of preference.
I would incluse a pic in my sig if someone can pm me and tell me how to. And with the pro kit you do not need camber bolts, although they are not that expensive anyway. A shop will charge you about 200 to put them on, but then you need a new allignment too. Thats another 75 or so. |

My BMR kit was 1.5" in the front and 2" in the rear and it sits just right for me.....has a mean raked look and it isn't so low that you gotta dodge every little glitch in the road. I'm totally satisfied with the drop, its perfect for looks and perfect for normal every day driving!! It even rides close to stock with these springs.
You'll definately need a Camber adjusting kit if you go over an inch, I drove around for two weeks before I got my camber kit and I could already see wear on the tires...... I bought some adjusting bolts off Ebay for $20 which gave me 1 3/4 degree adjustment.

i agree,i'm 2 inches dropped too,i don't even have to worry about to much,with the 20's though,a decent pot hole will bend a 20" rim pretty easy..
