Your Opinion

JDane07 · 06-02-2012, 10:10 PM

So I'm gonna be getting some Koni Yellows this coming week, but I'm still undecided on what springs I'm gonna shell the money out for.

In one corner, the H&R sport springs. Some say they give the perfect ride height, but I'm concerned it will lower my car too much.

The second obvious option is the Eibach pro springs. I know this lowers the ride less than the H&R's, but I'm concerned that they won't lower the car enough to the point I want.

I'm leaning towards the H&R's simply because I'd rather have the car too low than too high...I'm spending all this money because I want to lower my car, and I'm concerned the Eibach pro will leave more of a stock appearance.

I'm including some pictures of my car as it sits right now so you can get an idea of the current ride height.

I'd suggest the H&R sports, they give a healthy looking drop. Some of the cars I've seen on Eibach Pros don't look dropped at all.

I'm having AC Schnitzer springs installed in my car (plus matching shocks), which drop the car 1.2" front and rear.

I like your body kit. May I ask where you purchased this from? Did you do the install yourself?

Also, your drop looks pretty nice now. You don't have any suspension work done, right? Those 19s make it look really nice already. Just a smidge should do!

Let us know what you decide on, with a review!

Good luck
