Default an S that needs lowered!

i just put 18's on my car and people think im off-roading, so i need some input. i found some eibach springs online for $193.00 for all four. i also like the spoon springs on scienceofspeed.com which are a little more expensive. i am only looking to drop it about an inch which what the eibachs say they will do. if anyone out there has any advice, whether it be about the longevity, reliability or perfomance, please let me know.

thanks a ton...hey a ton=2000lbs., as in s2000, man am i smart. let me shut up

On another note, if you opt for the Spoons and can't find anyone who has 'em in stock be ready to wait a while.

Well Billy,

You saw my car - Eibachs on 18's. I really like the way Eibachs make the WHOLE gap around the tires work. They also ride a little nicer than stock. Since I am dropping down to 17's, I wish I had gone for a more aggressive drop.

If I were staying with 18" wheels, I would stick with the Eibachs - no problems whatsoever.

BTW - that is an incredible price you got. I picked mine up off eBay for $225 shipped.

Why don't you go ahead and get your springs. It could be another two-three weeks before my new wheels get here, and I shouldn't have a problem getting rid of the Eibachs if I want to go lower.
