i'm planing to drop my car 1 1/2 in. is that going to be too low? is it going to scratch the bottom when i go over bumps and curves? ohh and isinstalling it hard?do any of you have suggestion on wich type of springs i should get? i want something that is good quaulity but not that expensive. it would be great if you guys could help me out. thanks

 

I want to do the same thing, but with a 2" drop. I've never done it myself, but I know that you'll need to rent a spring compressor, unless you have one, and some other tools to do it. Pepboys can do it for you too if you'd rather not do it yourself. Personally I want to go for a set of Eibach springs, which I've seen for around 250.

 

I have Vogtland and they seem to be just fine. Never had a problem even in the winter here in Chicagoland.

Just like doing struts, just realign when done.

 

2" drop is too much, trust me i have that and its not a pretty sight sometimes. I even cracked my bumper coming out ofa parking lot yesterday. I would like to have stock back,I don't like the look of stock but the ride is a lot better. I am thinking that a 1.5 drop would be better.

 

its a pain in the *** to install if its your first timeand especially if you are without air tools/impact wrench.

i sat here and read all these posts about it only taking maybe 6 hours, 2 hours for the 1st one until u get the hang of it. then 4 hrs for the other 3.

bull ****! i started at 9Am and didnt finish til 7-8pm. maybe an hour was spent going back/forth toautozone cause i didnt have all the tools. (make sure if u dont have access to an impact wrench you have the special little "wrench-extender-sparkplug socket-monkey wrench-socket setup" or w/e it was)

one of the most hardest (exhausting) things i've ever had to install on my car.
NEVER AGAIN!![:@]lol



.....just my 2 cents

 

i have a 1.5" drop...rides kinda rough at first until u get used to it, but thats expected when u give up comfort for handling.

I have tokico blue struts with kazera springs...i dont beileve they make kazera springs anymore so ive heard Eibach are good.

I also agree 2" would be too big of a drop especially if its your everyday car.

1.5" was just right for me.

 

i was planning on installing me drop 1.5 inch over my christmas break.... i took my car over to tire kingdom and they wouldnt install it for me prob cuz i didnt buy it from them.... id rather not spend all day doing it specially since i dont have all the tools any one know any places that would install? some one above said pepboys? i have the ebaich and tokyo blues.... if i cant find a place to install ill be going at it in oooo 2 weeks....

 

which eibach springs do you have?

 

i was surprised i didnt have to get my car realigned after i did my install... and i was doing everything short of jumping up and down on the knuckles to get the holes lined up and everything in place to be bolted.

 

think that was to me ummm the pro kit
