Lowering kits

RC02GT · February 11th, 2007, 03:20 PM

Im looking into lowering my car and looking into the eibach kits. I was wondering if all i need is just the lowering springs or shocks and struts also.

WAVEBYE · February 11th, 2007, 03:26 PM

nah all you need is the spring kit unless you just want to put the shocks on.

RottManK9 · February 11th, 2007, 04:06 PM

Anyone have any other suggestions for lowering springs? I'm looking at doing this soon too.
THanks,
Jon

I was also wondering about cutting springs, how is that as far as the ride? Is it a shitty ride or what ? sorry to rain on your thread, but just wondering

i have the frpp c-spring kit and i like it.

GTSilver · February 12th, 2007, 10:51 AM

i cut my springs and its fine...lots of people swear against it but i run my car at the track..in town...the highway...everywhere and i dont mind it at all...u gotta be careful on dips and bumps but that goes even for lowering kits...i hear eibach sucks...if your gonna spend some money go with h&r...but hey what do i know...i did it the poor mans way(actually the real poor mans way is heating the springs...DO NOT HEAT THE SPRINGS)

What complaints have you heard about eibach? I was looking into those myself.

CBSTANG · February 12th, 2007, 01:45 PM

I have the Eibach Prokit and have nothing but compliments about the look. It definately takes away that 4x4 look. I noticed in the cornering that its not so much sway in it. So for springs its a good 1st start. then look at stiffing the rest of the car!

sonicblue · February 13th, 2007, 07:11 AM

get a good set of shocks and struts with your springs and it will ride a million times better

ATLmustang · February 13th, 2007, 08:18 AM

i have the eibach prokit i like it. took it down alittle bit and i noticed alittle very small handling imporvement but overall i like them for the money

neckbonekat · February 13th, 2007, 10:50 AM

Did you have to use those alignment adjusters. Do your front tires ware evenly?

Timber · February 13th, 2007, 11:23 AM

Heh, looks like I'm not the only one thinking springs right now. These look good for the price:

But I really don't want to buy any without knowing the factory spring rates and the spring rates of a good pair of 1" drop springs. I just want the car a little lower, I'm not autocrossing and have no need for stiffer springs. Does anyone know?

Sorry to borrow your thread, it appeared to be a good time to ask about spring rates. Then you know what to expect ride-wise as well as drop.

Thanks guys.

neckbonekat · February 13th, 2007, 01:50 PM

I'm looking fr something closer to a 2" drop. My car comes with a 1/4" drop stock.

Are you going to 315's/275's?

inthered03 · February 13th, 2007, 06:34 PM

I just put the eibach sportlines on my 03'. I'm going to need the caster/camber plates to get the front end in line. I really like the look and haven't noticed any bottoming out so far. It dropped about 2" all the way around. I run a 285 40 R17 on the back and 275 40 R17 on the front with no problems. I've always used eibach on my cars and they have always been a good product.
