Lowering spring choices
Anyone have any opinions on the various aftermarket lowering springs on the market? I have checked out the Eibach and BMR springs and they seem reasonable in price. Also, is it absolutely necessary to upgrade any other suspension part if I lower the car, say the avg 1-1.5 inches?
I have thought about the Saleen package but OMG the price!! Is it all necessary, if all I want is the lowered look and not all the autcross/racing performance?
Thanks

Strongly consider rear only. Some mfgs sell rear only. (You'll correct the HUGE tire to wheelwell gap in rear and get the *** end down where it belongs) Most likely will need adj panhard bar but you could check before and after and if you're within an 1/8 or so after, you save some $$ there. I needed to use one and went with BMR (nice quality, easy install)

Both the Eibach and Steeda springs are a good choice if all you are looking at doing is gving the car a nice drop. The Saleen kit is a very nice complete kit. It will give you about a 1.3 / 1.4 drop. If you really look at it , the price isn't that bad. If you look around, you can find some good prices for it. Good Luck with you choice!

RE: Lowering spring choices
Guys thanks so much, all good advice by the way. I'm planting new rubber and rims and the outer profile of the new setup is about 1.5 - 2 inches lower, wheel and tire. I think the gap will not look right. I'm stock suspension now and going to 20" Saleen 7-spokes with 245/35 front and 275/35 rear. I think the diff will show. Opinions? I think I'm going to have to go on a diet some time soon. [&:]
