LT lowering

I've got a 2007 LT coupe. Wanted to put Eibach Sportline lowering springs on it. Alot of places have them only listed for 05-06. Will they fit an 07? Is 2" too much for a everyday driver as far as speedbumps and such go? I know it will be a stiffer ride. Thanks.

Be careful tho, I've read that with a 2" drop, u'll need stronger shocks than stocks.

you can ride the stock shock's for longer then you'd expect but defintley look into upgrading the shocks within the year.. or just stock up on some cheap oe stock's that people mite be sellin... an also with that 2 in drop dont plan on kitting it cuz the sportline's will tuck the stock 15' steelies

i saw a post of a guy who put in 25000 miles on his stock shocks and they only began to bleed after that long, thats roughly 2 years of daily driving.

Probably was an SS though as their struts are valved a little stiffer.... might last a little longer.

yeah, be careful with a drop like that. ur cv joints will stress and u might tear a boot which = bad day.

it happened to my buddy with an eclipse. he dropped his 2" and within a month he tore up his cv joints.
