i was looking into lowering my lt a little bit and give it better handling and i was likeing into eibachs but what else do i have to replace besides just springs to make it work and actually last

 

just that foo...unless u want to replace ur struts...good luck

 

get ss springs from someone up here. That is what I did, 1.5 drop...

 

the springs are easy to do. and i think its just the springs you replace. dont quote me i guess you can also replace the struts if you'd like.

 

If you drop a 2.2, you're going to need struts. You might want to look into getting some FE5 struts from crate engine depot (stock struts from the SS/SC) with either SS/SC springs or Eibach Pro-kit springs. If you want Eibach sportlines, you're going to need Koni struts, or you can go with the FE5's and they'll most likely only last about 15k miles.

 

if you want to wait a few months when i put my coilovers on ill sell you the whole fe5 strut/shock/spring assembly, front and rear.

 

you DO NOT need new struts. i have a duece duece and i bought ksport springs.they dropped it 2.0 in front 2.5 in rear.looks sik. Rides really good and handles okay but i need better tires so thats alot of the problem.but new struts are not needed

sorry no pic imageshack is bein a bitch tonight

 

these are mine on tenzo and they ride just fine its a 2 in the front and 2.5 in rear

 

here is my 2.2 with the Eibach Sportlines..


No new struts needed. Two hours and I had my lowered balt done.







don't mind the image quality or the dirty car.

 

 

alright thanks the roads in NY arent too great so im thinking sportlines are a bit much so im trying to find some ss/sc springs for now plus are the springs hard to do?

 

You DO NOT need new struts or shocks but eventually after allot of driving your stock struts will go. but you have a little while before that happens

 

how long is alot of driving in miles just to give me an idea

 

Cleeean man. Nice ride

I have almost 46K on my stock struts and its been lowered since the 2nd month I owned it.

 

it really depends on where you live. Over here in S.FL where the roads are flat and mostly smooth you can prob go over 50K without really noticing anything. where as if you go over bumps everyday you might only get 10k but u should have a good little while.my struts are starting to go now after abt 30k but i could only tell they were getting worse like a week ago. i prob can go abt 5k more before they start leaking and i officially have to get new ones.

and 2.4s have better struts than the 2.2s so they will last longer on them.

 

I used Eibach Pro-Kit on my 2008 Sport.. Wasn't too impressed with lowering results (although it does look 10x better) But ride quality is a lot better than the sportlines for everyday driving and roads here in NY wouldn't allow me to go to some of the places i do currently with the sportlines. I'm keeping my stock struts as well

 

ohh and it also depends on the drop. the lower the less time u have on stock struts.. seriously tho. dont worry abt it lol. get rid of the 4x4 look and drop tht thing to the ground =)
