Default Springs????

So, my new wheels will be delivered tomorrow, and I keep reading that with new wheels, come new springs. I've seen a bunch of springs on AM and CJ's and they all seem to have different lowering numbers. I want to lower, but I want to keep the same profile of the car. I don't want it to ride super low, but I also want to fill out the wheel wells. Any suggestions?

I went with the Vogtland .8/1.2, mine is a daily driver that I wanted lower, but not slammed.

What size tires do you have on.

1" drop perhaps? Not too drastic but will look better.

Eibach Pro-kit? Seems like they're a pretty popular choice around here. I don't really like the slammed look with the S197s, and am planning on the pro-kit

I have the Eibach Pro-kit and am pleased with the look and cornering! It lowers the car 1.3 - 1.5 inches.

That looks good Kevin. Low, but not too low. Your car looks good. I think I'll look into the pro-kit you suggested. Thanks

Thanks! I purchased the Eibach Pro-kit from American Muscle. If you decide to go with AM, shoot AMSTANGER a message and see if he can get you a discount code. Also, after 50 miles or so, be sure to get your car aligned to check the camber and toe. You want to make sure things are in spec. Good luck!
