How Reliable are Lowering Springs for a Daily Driver?
How Reliable are Lowering Springs for a Daily Driver?
So I'm looking to lower my G a bit, but I'm trying not to break the bank on some $1500 coilovers. I'm also not trying to slam it, because I daily drive it and I'm in/out of the mountains almost daily. I want to get rid of some wheel gap in the front mainly, without killing ride quality and clearance.
I found a set of Eibach Pro-Kit springs for about $260 (link below), but I'm wondering if they're worth it. I've heard running springs will decrease the life on your struts, which I don't want to do. The drop is estimated at a 1.2" in the front and .5" in the rear, which is just about perfect for what I'm looking for.
I really want to drop her before a mountain run the first weekend of November this year, but I don't want to cheap out, and I also don't want to break the bank. I want to make sure these springs will ride decent and handle decent, as well as be reliable for a daily driver. Just looking to get rid of a little wheel gap is the whole purpose of them, honestly. The IPL suspension I have is great in the corners, so I don't need better handling.

I just installed some eibachs on my journey sedan. The ride feels the same if they road nice and paved, but I definitely can feel the difference going over bumps. It's not bad, but it is more harsh than oem journey springs. I also replaced my front and rear sway bars at the same time so the harsher ride could be due to the sway bars. As a whole the combination of eibach sway bars and springs is awesome! My car feels sportier and is more fun to drive.
