Who makes linear lowering springs???

I want to buy some lowering springs. I pretty much want the eibach pro kit but do not want progressive rate rear springs. How can I do this? Does anyone sell a set like this? I have been unable to find a kit that has specific rate springs at all 4 corners. Thanks.

Ground-control makes weight jack kits, that use Eibach ERS 5" race springs. They are linier and come in any rate you want. You can then use their rear pigtail pearch, or get the All-Star rear pearch, that will let you use 5" race springs in the rear also.

I would contact Sam Strano Jr. at Strano Parts and chat with him about spring rates, etc. He is a ground-control dealer.

I've had good results using the Eibach ERS springs Dewey mentioned. I've also had good results with Suspension Spring Specialists springs (website www.bluecoilspring.com). Either should allow you to specify the linear spring rates as well as free spring height. But I dont think anyone will know what specs you should use. If you want to replicate the Eibach Pro-Kit then your best bet is to research and find out what free height they have along with the spring rates (info is on these forums somewhere). Then once you know use those specs when you order springs. Some other manufacturers I know of but have not used (yet hehe): SCP Coil Springs, AFCO (Afcoils), Hypercoils (Hyperco Springs)

I got the Eibach Pro kit, all four springs, about a year ago, it lowers the car about one inch and the ride is much better, more control than any other spring for the money. my 2 cents worth.

The boxed Eibach sets are progressive rate springs in the rear. These other manufacturers we've listed allow you to specify spring height and static (linear) spring rate.
