any recommendations for lowering springs? looking to drop my car around 2 inches.


thanks

 

Check out Tein Basis, around $600 and you can get just the height you want from 2" or less.

 

H&R springs is what i got...

 

I was looking at getting new struts and Eibach springs for a mild drop that didn't require any camber replacement parts.

Do you think if I went the Tein Basis route and lowered the car like an inch all around I'd be in spec still?

 

If you go with the Eibach pro kit it will give you about a .75 drop with no camber kit.

Eibach sportlines is more aggressive but you're looking at a 2 inch drop.

 

Right, I was looking at those because I live in a state that gets snow and I drive the car year round. Don't want to go too low, been there, done that.

 

I went with Swift Springs... little over an 1" drop and I love them. I think they were close to three bills +/ -

Oh and no camber kit...

 

I'm on eibach springs, I like them. Low enough to get rid of ugly fender gap, high enough to be practical and comfortable.

 

I'm also on swift springs, no camber kit and no noticeable camber wear, alignment wasn't too bad far off, great smooth ride, definitely one of the best springs to go for a mild drop

 

looked at the pro and it seems that it will not work with the AWD models, my car is an x so no luck there. anyone know why the eibachs wont work with awd models?

can't seem to find a sight with the sportlines will these work for my car?

 

how do you like the H&R's? how low did you get with them? how's your handling?

 

so has everyone got a decent handling increase from the springs they have chose?

 

Mildly dropped on Eibach Pros and definitely feel a difference. Lower center of gravity and the front end barely lifts up on WOT. Springs are stiffer also so less roll on turns. I will need a bit more support with sway bars down the line but still effective without them.

 

Springs for the RWD will fit the AWD, but the drop will be greater than advertised and may not be even fender gap front and rear.

 

My SWIFT Springs definitely improved handling and body roll over and above the sway bars.
