Springs - Eibach, Tanabe, H&R?

Just purchased a set of Vossen CV1s w/ 235/30/30 Front and 255/30/20 Rear. Looking to lower the car to get rid of the gap without having to buy a camber kit.

Any suggestions? I've looked through thread after thread and I can't quite get a good grip on which ones I should go with. Many thanks.

Seriously? The threads are pretty self explanatory..

If you don't want to use a camber kit you narrow down your options to just Eibach and Tanabe..

Then do you want a lower rear and higher front? Tanabe.

Or a lower front and higher rear? Eibach.

Pick one from that and your done!

Honestly, you don't really need camber kit if you're going to lower the car for not that much. Tanabe is great and you don't need camber kit. You'll probably be able to alignment back to somewhat close to factory spec.

Go with Eibach sport springs! The muscle car rake looks better and handles better IMO.

Now what about if you have an AWD sedan? Since there aren't any specific springs for that...

First of all , why you on stretched tires if you going w Eibachs ? You going to be stretched when you don't need to be! You could had been just fine w 245/275!!! I'm assuming you chose Eibach according to your sig...also Tein S tech would had been the best choice! Lower than Eibach but higher than H&R. But yes Eibach is the way to go if you don't want to purchase Camber kits.
