why would you want to? sure it lowers it, shi*ty ride, and the springs aren't as dependable.

eibach has a set of sport springs that are about a 1.8" drop that they make for upr. they are a lower quality eibach spring but are worth the 150 bux. you will prob need caster camber plates tho with these which will set u back a good 80 bux or so.

i have a set of eibach pro's which i paid 230 or so for and love the drop. i didnt need cc plates cause it is only about a 1.5 or so inch drop, but i did order a pair of camber bolts that only set me back 30 bux.

you will have to have a front end alignment after you install the springs and with either springs just give the alignment shop the cc plates or the camber bolts

lol @ 400 bucks for a rough ride.. My car rides smooth as hell and it didn't cost me anything but a wheel for my angle grinder. Oh well enjoy your shiny new springs.
