Re: WTB - Lowering Springs

Just cut your stock springs. Do it right & they'll be perfectly fine to use.

Re: WTB - Lowering Springs

Cut the springs you have. Just go a half coil in the front, and 1/4 coil in the rear and remove the isolators and replace with heater hose around the top coil (12 inches of .5 inch ID hose should do it for one spring if I remember right).

Should bring it down about an inch. It'll look great and it's free.

I used an angle grinder with thin metal grinding wheels. Just make sure you dont get the springs too hot and they'll be fine. Do it over about 30 minutes. Easy as cake.

Re: WTB - Lowering Springs

I don't have a set, but I have a pair of rear Eibach Sportline lowering springs. According to Eibach the springs drop the car 1.3". $40 plus shipping. Let me know if you're interested.

its a tokico performance kit... 1 1/4 drop springs, and new struts. Lowest ive seen them go for is 450 online... i think ebay has them for around 450 shipped right now. I went the route of a pro drag coilover setup on my car is the only reason they are for sale
