Buying Only rear Eibach Pro lowering springs

I need 2 rear lowering springs. I don't need fronts; I have them already and I can't afford to buy a new set.

PM or contact justkazuke@hotmail.com

It might be difficult to just find rears. If you are still looking come spring, let me know. I'm going to pull my Eibach kit in a few months, and we might be able to work something out.

You can also try removing the rubber isolator, and use heater hose over the end of the coil (I can't vouch for it, but I heard it works). You can also progressively cut the coils, and shorten the spring. Use a saw (don't torch it), and go slowly - once it's cut you can't add it back on.....

Good Luck

It's great to see i've finally been noticed lol. Is there anyway these springs could have gone bad and would give me a reason to buy a new set? hence 50-100 more, because i don't have the time, no offense at all, i can't wait to get this on the road.

the springs in the front are supposed to lower it by one inch, but I think it's 2 inches now...is that possible with the weight from the engine? Thanks

The springs are probably OK - unless your running a big block, the engine weight probably shouldn't be an issue.

Eibach has two different spring sets, Sportlines and the Pro Kit. I think the Pro kit is about 1.5" drop and the Sportlines a 2.5" drop. You may have the Sportlines and not know it.

I'd go ahead and cut the rear springs, if it's really a problem. Maybe you'll get lucky and find some rears. I actually like the look of my Pro Kit, but my Spohn TA hits the tunnel with them. I'm going to clearance the tunnel when I'm getting the 10 bolt rebuilt, but I've got a set of WS-6 springs warming up in the bullpen - just in case.
