Rear Drop Springs

Hey guys i need some help finding some rear drop springs for my car. Im looking for 2 in drop springs (i suppose a little less than 2 would be ok and i do not want to cut springs). Spohn carries the rear only springs from the eibach sportline kit but for the price of the two springs and shipping i can find the full kit at the same price. What other options are there and what would you recommend? Thanks!

Re: Rear Drop Springs

Summit has the rear sportlines for $77 and Spohn has them for $92. not sure where you are going to find a full set for the same money. if you did i would wonder about the quality.

Re: Rear Drop Springs

That price is per spring. At 92 each plus shupping youre already over 200 and can find full kits for that. Even at 77 each thats pretty pricey. Anyone else?

Re: Rear Drop Springs

To get a 2" drop, weight jacks are your best best.

Re: Rear Drop Springs

Which will cost even more money. Id really prefer just to focus on finding some decent priced rear drop springs.

EDIT: Does anyone sell weight jacks for the rear only? I can only find full kits. Thanks

Re: Rear Drop Springs

Look at speedway motors, they sell all the part seperatly, and maybe as a kit. It would be generic, not a direct bolt in. I don't remember how much it was going to cost, but it was less than the ground control kit at the time.
