Hi there! are they any other lowering kits availiable other than eibach ones? the sports line kit is only 1.6 front and 1.3 rear,are they any other companies that make kits? id like a 2" drop

 

I'm using the Eibach Pro-Kit (mainly because I got it cheap) but I had to cut the springs to get the height where I wanted it.
Just to let you know...cutting is always an option.

you dont' want to cut progresive rate springs.

intrax makes a 2" kit, but i hear it isn't a good choice for handling.

ground-control, www.ground-control.com, has a whole bunch of springs, i would give them a call and see what they have that might work for you, they should be able to suggest a spring rate to give you the stance, and handling you want.

 

Can you tell me why not?

 

Progresive Rate springs compress during cornering and braking and get progressively stiffer. When you drive normally they are soft and provide a nice ride. By cutting or heating them you risk loosing that 'nice ride' zone and you might end up with a very harsh ride 24x7.

 

well of course you CAN cut them, they will work jsut fine, and perform.

but if you are spending the money on a set of eibach progresive springs, why cut them. when you cut them you will cut the coils off of the soft side (coils close together), when you do you eleminate the whole point of the progresive spring, which is that it is get progresivly stiffer as the spring compresses, if you cut off the soft part of the spring, yes it will still be a progresive spring, just at a higher rate (read: starts stiffer, gets even stiffer upon compresion.)

but you are correct, you can cut them, i should have worded what i said better, if you had a good experiance cutting progresive springs, then great, i don't doubt you , you have plenty of experiance (probably more than myself) and have been posting here for a long time.

 

It's a waste of a really good spring set. I would simply get a set of stock ws6 springs and cut them ... or get the sport lines and cut them.

Want to sell me the PRO Kit??

 

I have the sportlines and i wouldn't go any lower. My tires completely fill the fender without any problems.
