Any Advice on getting Spring??

46m3csl · 09-01-2013, 11:26 AM

I was looking at getting the eibach po0r kit. What am looking for is a slight drop in the rear and a little more in the front. Would be great if it stiffens up the ride a little as well. I know many of you are going to say coilovers, but not needed since I dont track the car let alone dont have the budget for coilovers right now.

Problem with aftermarket springs is that most OEM shocks aren't designed to tolerate stuffer, lower springs. Meaning they will deteriorate rather quickly, resulting in a bouncy ride. Best to replace shocks at the same time, or just buy full coilovers (they aren't just for racing).

Fully agree I dont track my car but have coilovers best to adjust it to whatever you like

Your best bet is decent coilovers with shorter shock bodies valved for the springs. Learned this after trying a couple different spring/shock combos. If you really want those EPK springs get Koni or Bilstein sport shocks with shorter bumpstops. The ride and handling won't be as good as KW / ST c/o

Check out Swift springs. They are manufactured with the highest quality of any kit offered and they perform excellently when driven to the limit. There are a few threads around here regarding information and technical specifications.
