Lowering springs.

What type of lowering springs do you guys like best? ksport? eibach? tenzo? I just found out on ebay that tenzo makes some lowering springs, if anybody knows about them are they Reliable? etc.

SSI springs will lower the same as sportlines, but cost i think 70 or 80 bucks and have a lifetime sag and crack warranty.

and the couple of people that have them said they ride nice as well

I have a set of #1 springs from cobalt addiction for sale in my for sale thread they dropped my ss about an inch n a half up front and 1.75 inches in the back. Ride quality is not much stiffer than stock. Overall handling is better tho not many have used them but I like them.

I'd link to it but I'm on my iPhone right now

k-sport drops insanly low, i heard 2-2.5inch drop. i heard putting lowering springs on a sedan, lowers it lower than a coupe. and i have a 08 Sedan.

i heard it doesnt really matter when it comes to lowering springs, just brand name basically.

That's what happened with my B&G s2 springs. Gives a nice aggresive stance. Oh and btw I'm selling these springs too. If anyones interested just pm me. They're practically new. Had em on my car for about 1 week. The drop is too low for me. It's a dd

Sorry to thread jack op.

2-2.5in drop =\

and i agree with u guys, but most of the springs anywhere from the tenzo r's to the k-sport average about 150-175 on ebay. But eibach is about 250-300.

if your interested in the tenzo's go to next level motoring they are the people that sell them on ebay. you can get a way better deal thru them. i bought and got mine shipped for 138.00 my only problem with these springs is that i hav 225/45/18's so my tires are a lil wider and i have some bad tire scrape on my rear pass side. but im just gonna roll the fender out to fix that.
