Want to lower the car, which springs??? My car now:
<img src="http://members.aol.com/joshs2000ss/images/1.jpg" alt=" - " />
What I would like it to look close to.

I'm thinking the Eibach Pro kit, but just wanted some outside input before I committed to buying anything.
Thanks,

Re: Want to lower the car, which springs??? Josh,
I just put the Eibach Pro kit on mine. I can not show a photo but mine looks very close to the photo that you posted on what you want your to look like.
My car sits about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in between tire and body. The only thing is that we left the spacer bracket off in the front to make it more level. It still looks like it sits a little higher in the front, but not by much.
I love mine. No rubbing or funny noises. It just has an Awesome stance now.
Good luck with it.

Re: Want to lower the car, which springs??? DMS Springs. 1.5" drop on all four corners:

Re: Want to lower the car, which springs??? TA25th,
I am jealous, you must have blast driving that around top down on a summer day! Love the Fikse wheels and the drop really helps as well. I have been reading some disturbing things regarding lowering kits, like the rear sitting lower than the front, the car bottoming out over bumps etc. It has kind of turned me off to the idea of lowering at all (the streets in the Chicago area really suck!), what has been your experience, as I notice you went with DMS springs (haven't heard of those, but still researching this), would you do anything differently given the chance, is this a mod you regret in any way?
Thanks in advance, and <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> ride!
Regards,
John

Eibach Sportlines also. Car has the best stance it could have with any springs. It is similar to the DMS on ta25th's car. If you are worried about car bottoming out all the time, then don't worry unless you don't like to slwo down for the bumps. There are some very steep parking lots where ther front plastic piece under the radiator rubs, but usually not a problem if you have good shocks. I fell in love all over again once i dropped my car, and if i get a chance again, i'd do the same.
