No matter what springs you use the lower the car with (Eibach, Roush, Tein) you're going to have a rougher ride right?

I really would like to drop the car some, I'm just concered with making the right too stiff and uncomfortable... especially since I have a baby coming in a few weeks and I don't want to be jarring her around all over the place in the back seat. :-)

Both the fronts and rears are easy. I didn't even have power tools.

These could be just what you are looking for. H&R products are top quality as well. I currently have the BMR springs, but the drop is too much so I'm changing them out. I would get these, but since I have the s/c I'm getting the GT500 sport springs to handle the extra weight up front. Should put me at about 3/4 inch all around. And the short answer to your question is yes, any lowering springs are going to make the ride rougher because of the higher spring rate. But, a 3/4 inch drop should in theory not be as harsh as 1.5 drop.

I lowered mine, but the original bumper cover was scrapping alot, so I put a different cover on.

lowered mine with sportlines and added the gt500 splitter as well. no scraping issues to date, but then again, this isn't the lowest car I've ever owned.









gotta get some better pics; just to much snow out there right now.
