You know, after all the trouble I went through to get some springs I am not sure now I even want them. In case you don't know, bought some on ebay, got ripped, took 90 days to get a refund through ebay fraud protection, bought some from a member, forgot to send them to me (I don't blame this member either...he gave me a great price on some Eibach Pros)...anyway, finally got some springs in my posession and I am thinking it really doesn't need to be lowered. I see some cars on this forum that look like 4-wheelers but either I am used to it or my car seems low enough. Locally it is going to cost me about $300 for install and allignment.

Is it worth it or does it look okay? Opinions wanted.

 

Lower it !!!! always lower it, save the questions for harder stuff like
Turbo or S/C

 

It doesn't look like you need it to me. You'd be sitting too low with springs.

 

IMHO i think your car is low enough, any lower you and may have problems.
If you choose not use your springs, and if they are Eibach Pro Springs, please let me take them off your hands. I have been looking for Eibach springs for a good price. Let me know.

well how much is the drop on the springs

 

Do the install your self It will take about 5 hours for a beginner, but you'll get to know your car much better

 

lower it yourself..all u need is some jack stands and a spring compressor u can always rent those...s2ki got useful info on how to install the springs...car looks weird with rims/no drop

 

Well I have the same wheels and springs as you and I've had no problems at all. every once in a while here in New England (crappy roads) I'll hit a dip in the road and rub a little in the front but only like 4-5 times a year so its really no big deal.

Here's a few pictures of mine:





BTW the first time I installed a set of springs on an S was mine and it took me about 2 hours total... course I've done this on other cars before plenty of times but that was my first go on an S. You can do it yourself. Have someone in your local area give you a hand.

 

PS: I highly suggest you get a 4 wheel allignment after you have the springs installed whomever you have install them...

 

maybe its the angle but it looks pretty low as is to me too.. guess i need a side shot to tell for sure tho..
