ok so i have been very interested in lowering my car. the only thing is, i dont know anything about this stuff. So what i am asking if you guys can give me your advice and tips about lowering. I was going to get swift sport springs. i want to lower it but not so much where i have to worry about rubbing my fenders, and since i can "roll" carbon fiber fenders that is not an option. i also have no need or desire for adjusting them, once its lowered its lowered. lol. so any suggestions on spring brands and stuff. thanks

 

I have had the the TEIN S-Techs for about 2-3 years (from Jerry) and have had a good experience with them. Ride height is between 1-1.5 lower IMO.
The ride is close to stock, firm but not bouncy. My only issue about lowering is that I go through rear tires a lot faster because of the negative camber...(The inside of the tire gets worn).

FYI- Oh, you will want to get an alignment after install and after the car has settled at its final height.

 

nice. thats about the drop i wanted. well for some reason my car already has negative camber so my new tires are already screwed lol. but thanks a lot for the info.

 

I just got here from Tx. I got brand new in the box skunk 2 springs if ur interested. I decided to start saving for coils.

 

Go with Tein or Espelir springs. Tein like rick said 1-1.5 drop and Espelir 1.5-2.0 drop after settle. So depends on what your looking for.

I've had both of those and they are great. AP2 NAG not to ruin your sale but skunk2 springs a lot of people had problems with them being uneven.

 

Thats cause they installed them wrong. Alot were confused on which springs go where...8 front/9 rear?? I got friends with skunks on...car's even, smooth ride. I contacted skunk 2 myself for the specs.

 

thanks to all. now i have to do price checking on these items. lol

 

I believe that evasive usually runs a group buy on the espilers.

 

dont pay more than $170 for new springs

 

Skunk 2 Spring: front 2" rear 1.8" $140.00
Tein S. Tech: front 1" rear 1" $180.00
Eibach: front 1" rear 1" $230.00
Megan: front 1" rear 1" $115.00

what would you all recommend? i dont know if i can drop the fron 2" 's without having problems.

anybody know who will install them?
