Possible new look :) - Page 4

If you would just take the springs completely out and let the car ride on the bump stops it would probably be four inches down.

PS. It may be a little rough

Just because i wouldnt want to shouldnt doesnt mean it shouldnt be available.....1in just doesnt seem like much, id think 1in would prob be unnoticable.

No 1.5" is very noticeable, and 2 is even more so I have 1.75 to maybe 2" drop here is the difference.
Before the drop

And after

Supply and demand... nobody wants springs that go that low (because they would be HORRID to drive on), so nobody makes them.

If you want to sit low, get airbags or hydros.

1.75" and the ride was mad bumpy.

Ready to cross a river

I have the Eibachs and they are good. Bummpier for sure, but it looks waay better. The 1.5" drop is just the beginning. After a few days/weeks, they settle and prop drop another .5" or so. You def dont want to drop it more then that.

Stefalicious · 05-19-2010, 11:16 AM

Ya i see wut yall r sayin, it deff does show a diff. Just thinkin in my head an inch diff doesnt really seen like much, but I guess on a car it is.

You answered your own question some what.

Do you understand what most springs are made for and WHY no springs are going to drop you to the height you want??

Get bags. Or hydros.

DrFabulous · 05-19-2010, 12:42 PM

I had Intrax on my old ride, that was about as low as you can get on springs. Huge difference from stock.

just remember when you go clubbin' again and meet that guy you seem to really like LOL

AaronGTR · 05-19-2010, 04:40 PM

You can definitely see a difference with a 1-2" drop. Eibachs are about 1.6-1.8" overall. There is a reason they don't go lower than that... it's too low and will screw up your alignment and ride terrible as well.

As for that ebay link, those are the wrong year. It's says '98, you need 99-04. That is a pretty typical price too... not expensive AT ALL for a quality part that is properly designed and not some knock off made in china ****! In fact that is cheap for eibachs (which are made in germany btw). Mine where $240 back when I got them.

oldschoolguy · 05-19-2010, 05:44 PM

oops

better?
