I have SPORTLINE from Eibach and KYB shocks, prob like a 2-2.5 inch drop. When i first bought the springs the car was really bouncy cuz the shocks ended up blowing cuz of the fact that stock shocks aint really made for lowered springs, so i bought the KYB shocks, everything was about 600$ very very happy, looks great drives and feels even better

I have the Eibach Pro-kit springs on stock struts...they ride like stock and have a 1.5" drop or so...just waiting for the struts to go though, its only a matter of time!

Im not very familiar with suspension, so i was just wondering if there is any way i could find out what brand are my lowering springs, like if they say the name somewhere on the springs or something? When i bought the car it was already dropped and from what i can see they still have the stock struts. The ride feeling is horrable because im sure by now the struts are worn out but it sure has a nice drop to it and looks good. By the way, whats a good way to find out how much the car was dropped from the stock height? thanks.

Vogtland and KYB GR2 struts. Struts are underdamped for the springs but do OK. Springs are about 1.2" drop. Love them.

The name of the company should be stamped somewhere on your springs...color doesnt always work for identification b/c some companies sell them in two colors (such as Eibach).

I havent seen them in a while but if i remember right, they are either some aqua green looking color or sky blue. I forgot for the moment but they are one of those two for sure. I guess ill take a look tommorow. If the company name is stamped, where can it be stamped, in the lower, middle, or higher portion of the springs, also, would they be on the outside or inner side of the spring? thanks.
