Anyone know how much front and rear drop i can afford?? i found some springs that say they will provide 1.9" in the front and 1/5 in the rear...

 

ss/sc?

 

its just a base coupe...

 

stock wheels and tires?

 

DO NOT buy ebay springs....that are < 120$ you will regret it. for a base you can go 2.5 at MOST

 

maybe 2-2.5 in. eibach will usually give u the lowest without running into problems

 

ive got a lil bigger than stock tires...195/65/15..what about Tenzo R GF2..

 

By the 1/5 I assume you mean 1.5? You're asking for a 1.9 front and 1.5 rear, the Eibach Pro-Kit drops the base by 1.6 front and 1.8 rear. I just ordered a set today. Ebay springs ARE crap. The Eibachs will be alot better. Good quality, progressive rate, very good reputation.

 

Here's my base coupe with Eibach Sportlines:

I really like the drop the sportlines give--2" front, 2.5" rear. They even out the car really nicely. And they handle great, too!

 

tenzo r good thats what i got ..i have a ss/na and i got a 1'' in the front and 1.3'' in the back which cover all most all of my wheel gap in the back..im very happy with the outcome of those springs and the performance is noticable as well as for handling too

 

Damn looks nice...i ended up going for the eibachs that they had on here on sale..i guess we'll see how it goes..

 

Thanks, man! The eibachs will not disappoint, I assure you.

Installation shouldn't be too bad if you just follow the how-to's on here (Halfcent wrote a pretty good one for how to remove the fronts... the rears should only take about 30 minutes for both sides, they're so easy).

My only advice: Use a lot of WD40 on any bolts that look rusted (the nut on the stabilizer bar was pretty rusty on mine, and the driver's side one just ended up spinning and it was kind of a bitch to get off... I soaked the other side in WD40, and it came off really easily.) If you look at the how-to, you'll probably see what I'm talking about. It's the first bolt that you have to actually remove after you take the wheel off.

Anyway, good luck man, and post up some pics when you get done!!
